This reminded me of an issue with emoji in slack...
then you type ":)" slack changes it to the emoji, but when you hover over it you see ":slightly_smiling_face:"... the first time I saw this I thought that the message was passive aggressive... it was later that I realize that slack does the change automatically

there is not only the fact that they need to be developed... if I remember correctly they gave dates to have them in production. maybe she felt she could not have them done on time.
I have a problem with science been "done"
Science is never done, or at least it shouldn't be. We create models and update them or change them as we get more evidence and the technological advancements allow us to perform better tests.
Gravity was not done with Newton. sure, it's a great model to explain how objects are attracted to each other, but Einstein came alone and proved that that the model was not correct and it made incorrect assumptions (constant time for example).
I think that is the great misunderstanding. We expect science to give us final answers. We expect it to study something and then be "done". But that is not the case.
they discontinued google gears support. yesterday when I tried to access Remember the milk (as a chrome-web-app) and it showed me an error message, when I tried to install the plug-in it said that it wasn't supported.
this is one of the disadvantages of the automatic update process I guess.
hey, I clicked the "buy the digital version" in chrome and I got this

yes, but that has nothing to do with having the code, as I said in a port below... using it would be a violation, but why block open source code.
yeah, one thing is to use the code on drop box servers... I could understand the ToS violation in that case.... but having the code is a violation?
