http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/dtg/android/mock/ is a neat way to stop applications asking for too many permissions getting what they want. It'd be nice if it were being maintained somewhere/possibly pulled into CyanogenMod.

What are you going to plug all the gamepads into then?

Yes but the point there was that sites had motivation to misrepresent their content. What motivation could you have to misrepresent your logo?

If used by search engines, you could use this to add any image to search results, which doesn't necessarily have to represent your own logo.

Maybe he should be an exhibitionist.

Why do you think he wrote that article?

Try reading beyond the title?

or even reading the title, as typically "___ is dead, long live ___" doesnt mean the ___ is dead

Well, it _does_. The second part is implied to refer to a different incarnation of it. Eg the original use "Le Roi est mort, vive le Roi!" ("The king is dead, long live the king") refers to the previous king dying and a new one ascending the throne.

As such, I believe the second part of the title refers to an adapting ("new") form of IRC. As mentioned in the article, projects to add video chat support and the likes. The old IRC is dead (well, dying at least by the looks of it), a new adapted version is the future. [According to the article]

Ah, thank you! I came into the comments to ask what "X is dead, long live the X" means, but you've saved me some time :)

I don't think it's that bad, probably because I quite like the aesthetic, but it really could do with being just a little bit less busy.

Reddit gold is a freemium model, not donations. Are Conde Nast meant to continually bankroll something that doesn't generate profit?

Second wave feminists decided that that word in particular was bad no matter the context.

It isn't a "bad" word. It's about the implications of using a tool in the workplace that is automatically going to garner giggles and stares at the reactions of the female employees. Imagine having to explain your workflow to your executives or train female social media employees on how to use something with a name like that. It's just awkward and unnecessary.

And third-wave feminism flirted with post-structuralism..

You guys should stop poking fun at feminism and check your privilege m'kay?

no poking fun intended, merely a historical note that feminism (as a loosely-defined movement) had changing views about language and its use... if someone were to just hear about second-wave feminist stances on the language of oppression, they might have a hard time understanding things like the "slut walk" and other acts of linguistic reclamation.

Kinda glad that my sarcasm went mostly undetected, otherwise it would have been downvoted to oblivion.

Since feminism is by definition confrontational, "checking the privilege" could be considered paternalistic.

Because it stems a flow of twitter posts?

Isn't that good marketing? And won't most engineers use the code regardless of what its named? Seems like an interesting strategy to me :)

Stalk-ey favours? Those are the only type I could think I would ever make to Facebook employees. (Yes I know what this says about me.)

We needed "Student Research and Development" changed to "StudentRND" on a page, but it had a few thousand likes, so it wouldn't allow it. The official method of solving this was spend $10k on ads and then ask the Ad team to do it :p

Best part was we got an email later that day saying "Student Research and Development" was obscene, and would need to be changed.
