I subscribed to skype phone call service on my iPhone, but I forgot how I did it.
Now I want to cancel my subscription and log into my skype account and can not figure out how.
it pointed me to iTune service, but I did not have iTune installed on iPhone.
I feel it is like a puzzle to me and can not resolve it quickly...

it is true: all of their documents are not related with my issues.
Software needs very good documents and manuals. this is what I learned from my lesson.

On your iphone go to Settings -> select the top option (you) -> then click subscriptions. you can cancel them there.

I'm currently listening to Adam Savage's book, Every Tool's a Hammer[^].
I've finished about half I am really enjoying the book because he is a Maker and a Realist.
Sometimes I get burned out on making stuff -- building software -- and this book came along at the right time to stoke the fires.
He offers a lot of great Maker-life ideas and his project experiences are really interesting.
Have you read (or listened to) the book?

Got it last year! Really interesting guy, if you haven't look up Tested on YouTube some of the builds he does are clever and he tells you why things are done that way (and the early one have Jamie from Mythbusters)

greetings kind regards
this is a specimen of a pet peeve i wish to trouble your kind selves with for no logical reason i can think of . i have always been irritated with the use of the term "snippet" upon reference to a brief sample of code . i have finally found what i believe is a superior term for no other reason than it does not irritate me id est "specimen" . perhaps i will be successful in changing the common nomenclature as i believe i may have been some years ago id est late 70s early 80s whilst the term "excellent" entered common usage . well i am stating here and now i believe i and not Keanu Reeves may have been the responsible party .
kind regards

It's a fairly common English word and just means a small piece cut from a larger one. So quite appropriate really. It's poor speling or grammar that I find irritating.
|
|

perhaps that is why i am troubled by the use of the term as i have encountered it id est in explanatory articles of this or that C++ feature a brief code sample / specimen is presented of discussed feature w/ no indication of being from a larger text . if it were a true snippet i would prefer the term "excerpt" . so as far as i am concerned it is not a snippet a term i have never encountered prior to reading said C++ articles but rather a sample / specimen . also "snippet" sounds like a tool in a woman's sewing basket or perhaps a kind of bird .
as for proper spelling i take some pleasure in e-mailing companies of spelling mistakes i find on their web sites .

I'm not sure Richard was referring to the spelling of the "snippet" or, in general with the spelling/formatting of your message(s). Do you abhor capital letters and find a sadistic pleasure in placing a space before the period?
Please, do take it with a grain/bag of salt, as a friendly ribbing at a time of joy and relaxation.
Cheers,

greetings & kind regards
it did not occur to myself the Honorable Mr. MacCutchan was referring to the spelling/formatting of my message .
i do not abhor capital letters nor do i find sadistic pleasure in placing a space before the period . it is simply that i find it more pleasing to the eye .

you are of course correct . it appears I or | or l or i must suffer the known sufferings of others for the sake of this minor pleasure . period .

The problem with English is not that it borrows words and syntax from other languages, but that it chases those other languages down back alleys and mugs them for words and syntax.
|
|
|
|
|
If all those foreigners had not been so keen to pillage our land we would have a nice pure language by now.
|
|
|
|
|
Hmm, possibly so, but which language would that be?
|
|
|
|
|
Well, certainly not what we now know as English.
|
|
|
|
|
I've a suspicion that the keenness on pillaging was the other way round during an attempt to paint the entire world map pink. 
|
|

|

Well most nations/cultures have been doing it from time immemorial. In relative terms the Mongol and Roman empires were as big; only lack of technology stopped them at the borders of Europe/Asia./
