TIL Steve Jobs shut down all philanthropic efforts at Apple when he returned to the company in 1997.

They shut the servers off making the app effectively useless.

It's not dishonest. They brought the team in house. They bought the rights to thing. They recognized the potential of the thing they bought. They improved on it in house.

They're not taking credit for something that isn't theirs. It is theirs.

They purchased Siri, probably for 9 figures.

This happens all the time. Almost any piece of software you use has at least a component originated by an outside company. Look at Google alone (you'll find similar lists of acquisitions for almost any medium sized company in technology).

So I don't get it. They paid a lot of money for a company and gasp integrated it into their products? You know what is fair credit for your work? Millions of dollars. That's what most of these small technology companies exist to do: build something awesome and get bought for a lot of money.

The way they did it is fair criticism (essentially removing existing users access to the app), but the rest of that comment is just insane.

100% of what is on /r/gonewild would be considered porn by the court.

Does that apply to people who have undoubtedly seen underage girls on /r/gonewild ?

I think that's how everyone should be married in the governments eyes.

You've clearly never seen a Yorkie go off. It's adorable.

No, you introduce the cat by convincing your dogs that it's part of the pack. Since you (the human) are the natural leader of the pack, it's pretty simple really. The dogs will accept the cat pretty quickly if they feel like you (again, the natural leader of your little pack) treat said cat like a pack-member.

If you are not the leader of your own pack, well that's another issue that you need to fix.

I've had many cats and dogs happily coexist in my lifetime (and a guinea pig and a bird for a short time). It really isn't that difficult.

Tebow manufactured a lot of those sacks. There was a 3 or 4 game stretch were Tebow basically refused to throw the ball if receivers weren't running wide open.

The five best teams the Broncos played where at the beginning of the season. When the schedule strengthened near the end they went...1-4.

He does think that, and history would certainly bear that out. You don't win Superbowls in the NFL without a great QB. The Broncos didn't have one, now they do (if only for a few seasons).

I'm really struggling with your point. The Broncos, with Manning, are a MUCH better team. Probably one that can compete with Pittsburgh, Pats, or Texans. They have a QB that can drive a 26 point a game offense. They have some real talent on the defensive side of the ball. Those two things will complement each other really well.

That's WHY you get rid of Tebow, because with him as a starting QB you'll never be able to consistently beat those teams.

The seller (way northern Broomfield) was nice enough to bring mine back in his pick-up truck:)

I have a car that I exclusively use to get into the mountains. I live in the Highlands. I get pretty much everywhere by some combination of bike, taxi, and bus. We pretty much chose our house for proximity to a grocery store:)

I have a couple of friends who live in LoHI who don't have cars. They are car-share members, and that works really well.

I lost my mom to cancer (fuck cancer!)... to be honest I was never particularly sad. I didn't mourn really. I picked up and lived my life.

I sometimes still feel guilty about that. Like maybe something is fundamentally broken in me.

Yet I don't think so. I loved her in life and I'm sad that she's gone. I just didn't need that healing process.

Say.. WHAT?

Lets just go with the ones I can think of off the top of my head:

Tebow sings with Braid Paisley

Tebow delivers an easter sermon

Tebow does an anti-abortion commercial

There are many more examples.

I agree. I'm a former Downtown resident. The pervasive homeless sleeping and loitering around Downtown is a big reason I'm a former resident. I LOVE Downtown. I was very happy living there. However, stepping over homeless people as I tried to get out of my building, or worrying about my wife when she walked our dogs really detracted from the experience.

You have to balance the needs of the homeless against the needs of the people who actually fund our center city (the residents and business owners).

Man.. I was right there probably just a couple of minutes before that. I had to go back home because I'd forgotten my wallet.

You cut the entire team if that's what it takes. There isn't any point in even fielding a team if you let Brees go.

That's the max allowable. This case doesn't warrant anything close to that. He'll likely get off with minimal jail time. He'll lose his job and be a convicted felon for the rest of his life.

That sounds about right.

Where do you live? Just curious as most areas in the city have at least one dog park.

16th in points. They racked up a bunch of yards, but Cutler was incredibly interception prone and struggled immensely in the red-zone. It was an 8-8 team that missed the playoffs.

eirinn312 · 8 days

No joke. The city of Chicago has completely lost their minds with regards to Cutler. He's barely top half of the league.
