I imagine the main part of the algorithm will be:

weight = title.toLowerCase().indexOf("cat") < 0 ? 0 : 1000;

“If we have it for restaurants, why [don’t] we have it for people?” one Twitter user offered the withering reply, “[B]ecause restaurants [don’t] kill themselves??”

I hope that the creators and the investors will be dragged through court (and rightfully so), if God forbid something like that happens.

Is it standard nowadays to charge customers for support? Checking out the pricing (and correct me if I'm wrong), does it really cost $5000/month to have 24/7 support? That seems crazy to me.

Now granted I pay about $300/month for the VM I have with my hosting provider, but I can pick up a phone at any hour and talk to a tech when things go south.

I really don't care how good a service is, I want to talk with a breathing human being when my business is down.

i don't get it, maybe its because i'm not a huge chess player, but hear me out. The the key to the puzzle was promoting to a bishop, but why not just promote to a queen? A queen can move directions just the same as a bishop. Am I missing something that required a bishop in order to complete this puzzle?

Edit: Thank you for the comment explaining this.

I block ads for one reason only: I don't want malware.. period.. the end.

The day ad companies actually have a conscience and won't sell to malware authors, is the day i'll stop blocking their ads.

And also the record store. Times change, industry needs to adjust. This isn't just the result of the internet, but technology and people's habit as a whole.

A company blog with no link back to the company's main site? Why do I see this mistake on so many of these?

It kills me that our legal system is like this. You should never has to "give in" simply because you face a harsher sentence if you exercise your right to defend yourself. I don't see why our justice system simply lowers sentences or fine individuals rather than tacking on ridiculous sentences.

Been an iHeartRadio fan for a few months now. Love the fact that they normal only play an ad when you first load it and thats it (and usually its an AllState ad with Dean Winters who was AWESOME in Oz).

Never really gave Google Play Music a shot since, quite honestly, no one every talks about it. I've tried Pandora and Spotify and they weren't all that great. Well Pandora was only good because if you install AdBlock you never got ads. I'll have to try it out and see if maybe a switch is in my future.

They are using Adobe ColdFusion which prior to version 10 was using JRUN as the JVM. Adobe doesn't even support nor let you download version 9 and below anymore.

Granted there are a couple hiccups moving from 9 to 10 but mostly (and understandably) it involved if you were calling Java directly. For the most part its pretty painless to upgrade.

I can't make heads or tails of what this does or the benefits of using it. Why not have an example or the page? So a comparison of a project without using your service and the benefits it will get by using it.
