Valentine's Day Gift. Am I doing it right?

it looks like shit though. at least print it out on good cardstock, and not loose leaf paper.

this is the third different thread i've seen this joke in today. we get it, now shut the fuck up.

if Pat Rothfuss would stop being all charitable and shit, we'd be in a much better place.

or don't get RES and friend him using the standard reddit features.

it's not entirely google's platform though. android is something that the carriers and handset manufacturers are free to muck around with and wreck. google apps aren't.

if your carrier decides to edit the standard email app to tie it into their email service, that's one thing. if they screw around with the gmail app, that's another thing entirely.

as far as i can tell this has no differentiating features from google calendar. maybe it doesn't and you've just wasted your time, but probably it does. show off. your screenshots are useless and your copy doesn't tell me anything other than empty marketing-speak. nothing tells me how this is going to make life easier or why it's worth paying for.

just becuase anon members coordinate with each other, doesn't mean that all of anon is organized. if me and ten friends are an organized hacker group that works under the 'anonymous' name, it doesn't make any of the other hackers working under the same name organized, but they're no less a part of anonymous.

it is and has always been a merit-based group. you do something cool and call yourself anon, you are part of anon. if you don't do anything cool you can call yourself anon but you're not really part of it.

anymore? anon has never been an organized group - that's the point. they may have organized factions.

use the :focus pseudo-class to give it some more attractive appearance when it's tabbed to. tab highlighting is an important usability feature.

how is it that this hasn't been sold off to some billionaire who wants a private island next door to manhattan?

i can't imagine why a completely computer-illiterate person would ever find themselves on mailchimp's blog, let alone needing to search their blog.

he replied in the ten seconds before i edited the ikea reference out of my comment because it was irrelevant information.

no, like really, really hideously ugly. boils and warts and extra limbs sort of ugly. if you're ugly enough that people stop and notice, you already know. no assumptions necessary.

thanks. i think i might be over-watering mine.

good god man, how can you browse like that? turn on font smoothing.

that's not how copyright works. just because mirroring something gets you around the youtube infringement detection stuff, it doesn't actually mean that the copyright's been voided.

Atrosityy · 3 days

copyright doesn't work that way. you have copyright whether you choose to enforce it or not, you can decide to start enforcing your copyrights at any time. all the people making memes could still be liable if the original photographer decided they wanted to seek licencing fees, and at the same time the original photographer could decide to only go after virgin and continue to ignore the memes.

trademark is the 'use it or lose it' form of intellectual property, that you can lose the rights to if you don't vigorously defend it.

i can't speak for all of reddit, but i don't oppose the attempts to takedown websites devoted to piracy. i oppose the takedown without due process, the american government's efforts to influence copyright policy in sovereign nations, and the ineffective measures that seemed more targeted at suppressing free speech than they were at actually curbing piracy.

that said, until the MPAA gets their shit together i'm going to continue pirating everything.

don't fall into the same trap as so many other physical establishments (cafes, restaraunts, etc): don't over-design your site. the one you linked to is a perfect example of an over-designed site. here's how to make a good website for a butcher shop:

hire a photographer to take some great pictures of the product
on a clean background, put one of those pictures front and center. it should be big, filling almost the whole screen. you can use a carousel or radomize what image gets shown on page load, but don't show more than one big picture at a time.
in the remaining space, put the shop's logo, street address, and phone number. link to your place page on google maps.
that's it. don't be tempted to do anything else. it distracts from the main message. no mission statement, no blurbs, no photos of the staff.
if the shop has a dine-in restaurant component, include a large and obvious link to a menu, including prices. if you are just selling cuts of meat, do not include a product list or a price list.
if the shop can commit to keeping a twitter or facebook page updated with daily deals or recipes, you can link to that. if they're not going to keep it updated at least daily, it's going to reflect badly on the shop.

99.99% of your traffic will be people coming from google who are already planning on patronizing your establishment. all they want is to know where you are and how they can spend their money. the site isn't making a sale, it just has to reassure potential customers that you're serious quickly give them the information they need.
