This could be even more dangerous than Facebook's walled garden in that it further defines Google as "The Internet."

Why is this necessary if Google Plus already exists? Couldn't they just add the features to Google Plus and include them in the search results?

Perhaps those of us that prefer encrypted email should begin lobbying companies to encrypt transactional emails.

GNU Denemo 1.1 13 years ago

Denemo has better Lilypond output than Musescore and is not merely a specialized text editor like Frescobaldi.

Here are some other ways.

1. They could email you. 2. They could send you a SMS. 3. They could let you view your bandwidth usage by logging into their site. 4. They could provide an application (desktop or mobile) to keep track of your bandwidth and alert you at certain points.

Using an em dash would make the sentence clear.

"Through the window she saw George—a policeman—and several onlookers."

Or one could simply specify who George is by inserting "who is" after George.

"Through the window she saw George, who is a policeman, and several onlookers."

If using the Oxford comma does not make the sentence clear then the sentence needs to be rewritten.

This article makes some bad analogies. Showing the structure of two different molecules and acting aghast that someone would choose one over the other is like saying all digital information is 1's and 0's so it's all the same. Or it's like saying all words are just a bunch of the same letters therefore they have no meaning.

I get 10 spam emails a day that get past Yahoo's spam filter. The common factor in all of them is that my address is not in the "To" field. Marking them all as spam for the past several months has been completely ineffective. My solution was to filter all email without my address in the "To" field into another folder.

I don't think the Yahoo spam filter works on an individual basis like the gmail filter does.

I see the church submission form, but will there be a way to submit the churches of entire denominations whose directory of churches is publicly available?

SermonAudio.com, which also has mobile apps, already has similar functionality to this app. Why should churches use ChurchMint instead of SermonAudio? SermonAudio does cost money, so will ChurchMint be providing these services for free?

As a person with very strong religious views I've found the matching algorithm to be great at filtering out those with incompatible views. I think matching based on ethical, political, and religious views is the matching system's strength. The true weakness of the algorithm is that it matches poorly for personality. Two people can have very similar beliefs but be a terrible match in terms of personality. I would prefer an entirely separate score for that aspect.
