It's not just the example. Your entire point is ehrm, incorrect. Chinese uses radicals and entire characters to serve as the prefix/suffix. It's perfectly capable of performing character mashups or other mutations to create slang, and there

I'm not understanding why romaji is more efficient. You'll still have to learn the romanji... and in the end it imparts less specific information.

I'm not at all surprised. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for Hanzi and Kanji. Actually I think it's the exact opposite for me. This is the beginning of where Hanzi and Kanji start to show their relative superiority (in some ar

Doesn't really matter. The version numbers are for internal use and for tech blogs, the consumer is never exposed to it because of the auto update.

Yeah, same with doctors being not allowed to treat their own relatives. Solving other people's ailments are easier.

This only applies if you're working on an uncool language, like Java or .Net, otherwise the language is part of your identity.

Do you have any basis? I mean we all know the theory why it might, but I'm not convinced?

I see, but what about the fundamental problem of bandwidth scarcity? If it's not the market that allocates, is there a fairer way?

What are you saying? Standard Oil + More Volume = Cheaper Shipping / Unfair Advantage Competitors + Less Volume = More expensive Shipping Google + More Volume = More Expensive Delivery Competitors + Less Volume = More Expensive Delivery if

Err actually I think this is the exact opposite of the Google situation, where Google would be paying MORE to deliver their stuff. Lol?

I'm still not quite sure why this is terrible. Will this decrease bandwidth for all the smaller sites? I don't see any reason why it would, unless ISPs go over capacity. In which case if they do, then everyone would suffer... and paying som

The india example has nothing to do with machines but rather global wealth disparity. The india problem as in your anecdote will disappear whenever this wealth gap closes. The article is discussing something entirely different. IMO programm

They're well aware of this. Read the article, it says it's either for PR or as a humanitarian move, rather than anything political.

I mean I tried to define HTML5 in a way that's the most meaningful to most people.

My HTML5 Brief in one sentence: HTML5 is a buzzword like AJAX and Web2.0 that encapsulates the most exciting improvements to the web platform in the past and next few years.

Greed. If you're going to have a monetary sexual relationship, might as well as man up and pay from your own pocket, not put it on the company's tab.

Yes but there's a much greater amount of money involved here. $85,000 first prize per month for a year.

This is not the issue at hand. Nobody would mind Blizzard taking down penis maps on their map browser, but that you CAN'T distribute your own maps by yourself is a big deal. This becomes a closed platform much like the Appstore. Seems like

I find it dubious that bad content is actually 'crowding' out good content. Which good real entry is this one higher than? The off-topic is just filling in the dead time between seriousness.

Naturally I read it. Part of the problem is that Digg is actively trying to prohibit political activity, and this drives groups like this underground and force them to use crazy tactics. My snide comment is that when you have a democracy, i

Oh I get it now, Google by doing this will cause Verizon to raise their prices, and thereby paving the way for them to come in with their own ISP and eat the telecoms' lunch.

The idea is excellent, the fail is the lack of 'product'. They should distribute Wave modules that every wordpress or phpbb user can install on their blogs and hook into their own communities... and then Wave will take off.
