What ever happened to advertising as a form of revenue?

In print publishing, all newspaper/magazine articles are typically space filler to direct your attention path to the accompanying ads.

With a decent sales staff and correct ad pricing there should be no reason to charge users to read an article online. Sure, printing costs are high, but repurposing content for online publication is cheaper by an order of magnitudes.

I've been in (newspaper/magazine) publishing over 30 years. I surfed through the waves of insanity when the internet started to become ubiquitous and publishers were pulling their hair out over fears that it would be the death of them. It's nothing more than an excuse for greed. It could have been handled properly by establishing ad revenue pricing structures early on, but it was easier for them to cry, complain and voluntarily remain ignorant of new tech while the owners of the publications bemoaned that their paper publication is not making enough money to stay afloat and keep their trophy wives in sport cars and designer jewelry at the same time.

I have no pity on these ignorant fools. If the New York Times goes bankrupt/offline it won't affect my life one bit. Other, more fiscally responsible individuals/organizations/bloggers will fill the niche and do it right.

But what if your steak knife product was called "Fatal Revenge Stabber for Ex-Girlfriends and Steak"?

Oh, it's Mr. Ultra-Hype again.

Sounds like this theory could lead to creating one heck of a weapon, Dr. Venture.

Bad biscuits make the baker broke, bro.

This whole alt-coin thing is just a passing fad. I recently cashed out all my BitCoins and put the money into Beanie Baby Collectables. They're these cool stuffed toys that everybody is collecting these days. I was able to get a bunch of them at a very reasonable price range. Their value is bound to skyrocket in the future as more and more people get into it.

I define freedom as choice.

You can choose what you want to do rather than being bound to someone else's agenda.

I'm a really nice person especially around xmas time, but nobody hardly notices.

I donate much more than 0.01% of my earnings to charities and nobody calls me a hero.

Who the heck does this Bill Gates guy think he is?

I think what you're trying to say is, since they have no proof of terrorists using virtual worlds to communicate, they have no legal reason to be spying on those innocent people who use them legitimately.

Pretty sure you can do that in Photoshop and/or specialty apps. See "Cinemagraphs/Cinemagrams".

For example: http://www.reddit.com/r/Cinemagraphs/

Problem is, tilting at windmills is what they do best. Job security for as long as they can keep it going.

Sorta like Microsoft Support Technicians.

I'll allow it.

I don't usually complain about this kind of thing, but I'm gonna anyway...

So many folks here just enjoy announcing that their oh-so-delicate sensibilities have somehow been disturbed. Go outside, or turn up your TV if you really want stuff to be a petty bitch about.

Jesus hates you. Deal with it.

I'm starting to think there's a reason he doesn't want us to know the reason.

Really, I sometimes enjoy reading the stupid comments. Do we really want quality control censorship on comments for all the "I Put Fireworks Down My Pants" videos? I think not.

(please ignore this retarded comment, faaaagots)

Another useful tip is to get those doors upgraded ASAP, then work on upgrading shields. Fully upgraded doors are lifesavers when fires break out or intruders beam in.

I just show them my ripped coding muscles.

Yeah baby, you like that don'cha.

Check TimeMachine also (if you're running it). It's a beast.

That's racist. How do you know he's white?

These kids are destroying property that does not belong to them. This is a felony punishable by prison time and hard labor. You'd better turn them in at the nearest police station before Hollywood finds out and sends their hired thugs after you.

Ah yes, the IAUWGFPSN. You don't mess with those guys. I think they have Gary Coleman on staff. He's a real hard case. Ironically, he killed a man for using the word "ironic" incorrectly.

Hey! I've got the Stick! It's MY turn to speak!

..or, he greatly underestimated the fact that the computer knows what cards it has dealt to you.

Isn't this obvious?

Libraries are bastions of the idea that information is free and an inalienable right. The internet is basically a library at your fingertips.

To allow such censorship to happen is an affront to one of the most basic of human rights.

But we've already given it up in fear of a few Windows viruses and spam, so we deserve what we get. Fearful children require protection.

I'm in the "You-get-what-you-pay-for" school.

Besides being the phone all others are compared against, iPhone is standardized to fit a variety of 3rd party components; lenses, camera mounts, car mounts, etc.

Dependability is another aspect that should not be neglected to save a few $. If it's something you depend upon every day, you don't want to be disappointed when it matters most.

I guess a free Firefox OS phone would be great for homeless or families too poor to afford a decent phone.

For some reason I just got a nostalgic warm-fuzzy over this. Not only the site's 1990s look, but that this kind of "misunderstanding" still happens.

almost as big?

check your data.

So, can women in the US be charged by other countries for, say for example, not wearing a burka in public? Can they stone my ex-girlfriend for being a slut?
