Surely you could just edit the ol' msconfig startup items for free, right?

They still have that, right? It's been a while since I used Windows.

This would completely defeat one of the best parts of markdown, which is the ability to mix in HTML tags whenever you want, when you need to represent something more complex.

Underlines traditionally have semantically meant the same as italics. When an editor wanted the printer to make a certain word italic, he would underline it in the draft.

Really, underlines are a useless decoration. That's why HTML took them out. Not sure why they put them back in...

Wow! Looks cool! Why no Android app? Nowadays its cheaper to develop for all platforms and a mobile web site than just iPhone...

Actually, pretty much all Android phones use the same cable - a micro USB, found on cameras, hard drives, non-Android phones, garage sales, etc. And if you lose it or magically can't find anyone who has an extra few lying around, you can buy another one for less than $3. Try doing that with those ridiculously overpriced Apple cords (before the EU made them illegal, that is).

I agree. For some things, like more mathy things that only perform one function, it seems like functional programming is the way to go. However, for HUGE programs based on data and complex interactions between and extensions of objects, it seems like a more object-oriented style would be better... all about the right tool for the job, I guess.

Python looks like a lot less typing.

Yes! They cheat! Sometimes my internet connection will go out and all my tabs in Chrome lose their scrolling ability! It's like they just cached a bitmap of the page instead of the actual page itself.

We are going through a redesign for my company's web app and now we're going to have to insert a tiny bit of blank space at the bottom because Chrome's pop-up statusbar is covering a vital part of the UI! Doh!

"You have a >100,000 user base so push an update to the free app so that it now includes ads."

The problem is, the users who got it when it was free got the PAID version, so they can't push an update to the people who got it for free without making all the users who ACTUALLY paid also get ads.

They'd also have to add ads to the paid Google Market version, since the Amazon dev agreement requires that you keep app versions synchronized across all app stores. Amazon has basically put them in a position where they can only lose money or piss off their actual paying customers.

They rewrote the description of my app, also with mistakes. Very annoying, especially since if you try to change it it takes at least two weeks to show up! In the span of app sales that is a lifetime!

No wonder he didn't like Facebook: he has no real friends! 5000+ friends and he never met any of them face-to-face? What is the point of that? I only friend someone if I've met them before in a real-life situation. If the relationship never goes past that in real life, then I usually just end up hiding them from my news feed and forgetting about them. I'm sure they do the same for me and I don't give it a second thought.

However, I do get tremendous value out of my real friends on Facebook, since we share event invites, photos of our trips, news articles/videos that we share interest in, etc. I am a performer and all my performer/musician friends are on Facebook, and that is the main medium for getting news out about a show. The days of posting flyers on telephone poles and cafe windows are over - if you are not posting your upcoming shows on Facebook and inviting your friends, then your band is going to struggle to sell tickets.
