At my company, we prepare one-off marketing and legal email blasts in advance, and need the final recipient list a couple days before sending. This allows time for processing the list for opt-outs, duplicates, etc.

Looks like it was just an older bag of soylent. http://www.irishtimes.com/polopoly_fs/1.2729676.1469108251!/...
10 years ago everyone wanted a la carte cable. I guess this is it? Makes sense that it would be just as bad as bundled channels.

Re:Make a Samsung Smartphone Great by Switching Out Its Apps on Wednesday March 16, 2016 @06:48PM (#11301284)
At this point it is quite clear that OEMs only put these apps on consumer's devices to make a profit, and that there is no eye towards the affect on the product.

The bigger question is, why do the carriers want so badly for me to use their NFL app?

Re:The Danger of Financial Jargon on Monday July 28, 2014 @08:25PM (#8100063)
This is incredibly true. In programming, just as in construction, "jargon" is required to keep things concise and to the point. Many times this "obfuscation" is really just necessity.

If you open it in IE, it asks to display insecure content. If you click yes, the site works. (You can click buttons).

They must have linked a .js that wasn't on a https.

I don't think it really qualifies for "gift" status.
Re:Friends and Family Funding and Why I'm Dreading Thanksgiving on Tuesday November 26, 2013 @01:17PM (#6803040)
I think it depends on the difference between an "investment" and a "gift." Similar to loan vs. grant.
How is there no web interface?

That's exactly what I thought when I read the article. I'm not quite sure how that was missed during the design of the experiment.
Re:To Hell with Backups on Friday September 20, 2013 @05:02PM (#6420486)
I have a hard time believing the magnet story, but that is tangential to the story.

I've used SugarSync for a couple years, and Mozy before that. I literally never think about my backups, except when I get a new computer and download from the cloud. Total cost: under $80/year.

I'm not sure what's so hard about that, but apparently backups need to be "easier".

Re:Spam = 40% of social media accounts on Wednesday May 30, 2012 @07:42AM (#4042349)
Yes, but what percentage of email is spam? Probably higher than 40%. Gmail accounts are much easier to setup than facebook accounts (which require email accounts).
