That's something that Digg did well. You could click "top today/24 hours/week/x days" and you would see the submissions with most diggs in 24 hours/week/days/etc.

There is a "read mode" on Firefox for desktop and Android that does this? You can set the font face and size and then every time you open an article, just click the "read mode" button and it will display the article all nice and clean. Safari does this too on desktop and iPhone.

uBlock works on Firefox for Android?

30 cents per article?
I don't know. I've worked for grocery stores when I was in high school and one cashier running 15 minutes late was always noticeable, especially early in the mornings and late at night.
Anyone have any idea whether this could have been prevented if banks in the US required PIN to process a transaction? Would fraudulent transactions go down significantly if stolen cards couldn't be used without PINs?
American Express doesn't have branches, but I'm sure there are plenty of ways one can verify his or her identity without going inside a branch.

Um selling to people who don't work regular hours? There are plenty of people who work hours that are not Monday-Friday 9am-6pm, you know that, right?
Re:Kindle Paperwhite on Wednesday June 17, 2015 @01:47PM (#9733827)
One of the main reasons I haven't bought a new Kindle Paperwhite or a Voyage is because I like the physical next/previous page buttons. I've tried last year's Paperwhite and I just didn't like flipping pages by pressing a part of a screen.

$30 for 5 gigs? When did T-Mobile start offering this? Why am I then paying $50 for 2 gigs?

Wasn't that the case with Nexus phones as well? If I remember correctly, Nexus One was partially built to show other manufacturers that a top of the line device can be built and ran on Android.

I'm thinking of getting one too but it's still too expensive compared to the price of last year's Nexus 5.
Re:The tourist map of laptops on Friday October 03, 2014 @10:56AM (#8405789)
Did they require laptops? I've worked in finance department in the past and everyone either had a desktop computer or a laptop with a docking station.

Was it that bad on the Paperwhite?
If one is unemployed, can't find a job for x amount of time, do you think it is acceptable to use credit cards to survive during that period of time?
Good point. The guy in the article didn't just go on one vacation after another and then stopped paying when his balance reached $7,000. The article clearly said he lost his job, spent time living at a friend's place, and because he didn't have another job he had to somehow survive, which meant using credit cards.
