> Are you saying it's moral for you to read their content but circumvent their business model?

This is the best argument I've heard so far for not blocking ads. Thank you for putting it so succinctly.

I'm running 10.10.4, and it just crashed my Mac -- the "A problem has occurred" screen -- followed by a forced restart.

Completely agree. Compare to BitTorrent Sync, which is proprietary but works perfectly out of the box. [1]

[1] Okay, this is true for BitTorrent Sync versions < 1.4 -- more recent versions have been less reliable, particularly with regards to cross-platform syncing.

Michael Ruhlman's _Ratio_ espouses a similar philosophy: that recipes can be looked at as patterns which you can build on.

It's a great idea, especially because it encourages experimentation.

I bought a license for IntelliJ IDEA 12 during their end-of-the-world sale, and I can upgrade to 14 for $99. What a great deal.
