This is really cool. Has anyone found where you can buy and/or listen to the whole song?

I feel this way about backbone as well. Before using backbone, I wrote complex user interfaces in Javascript/JQuery. They were a mess. Backbone allowed me to write cleaner code without forcing me to do anything. I still use backbone to

My sister and her husband had two dogs for a long time, when one of them died, the other got very depressed. So they put her on anti-depressants for a few months after that.

This is something that in hindsight would seem to be obvious, but really isn't. If you've spent almost your whole life weighing 100+ pounds, it's really hard to imagine the rapid heat loss that is experienced if you weight 1&

I'm embarrassed that I never thought of this, but now that you mention it, it seems obvious there would be subsets of emotions other animals feel that we do not. Even if our capacity for emotion is greater, it seems unlikely that the V

Yeah, I can't see how that could possibly be true. Kings would have had access to huge amounts of man power. People to build their castles and supply them with food. I suppose you could argue that the homeless person might have better

That's really classy. Even if he had an assistant read your email and send that, he still had to care enough to set that all up.

We recently had to equip someone in Argentina with a Macbook Pro. It cost literally double what it would cost here and it didn't matter if he bought it there or we bought it here and shipped it to him. (we opted for the latter and they

The rise in gluten allergies is what jumps to my mind. I've heard a lot of people deny they exist though. And I'm sure other people will claim they are attributed to different factors. A lot of people with gluten allergies can eat

Yeah, if you google it, a lot of stuff comes up. I'm sure if you google "GMO's are not toxic" you'll find a lot of stuff supporting that claim too. My advice would be to start paying attention to nutrition in genera

Probably my favorite book is "Death by Food Pyramid". I can't remember if she went into this particular topic though. I don't know of any definative proof, which I think is what makes issues like this so dangerous. Scien

It does sound like a "throw the baby out with the bath water" scenario. In theory, GMOs could be more healthy than not GMO. In practice, this has not happened. The objectives instead have been to increase crop yield. The side effe

Not sure if this obvious, but this person is a "troll." They have no posting history other than this article. And the story he is weaving about his family's history with pencils is pretty outlandish. They're just doing s

I agree that not sharing is problem. Sometimes when I describe the opposition's point of view it sounds like I am defending their position. I think in order to fight an opponent, you have to understand their point of view. Your story i

Its surprising to me the amount of snark that is allowed from the moderators. Perhaps of the last 5 questions I've posted, I've received rude responses from moderators twice. Each time was in response to a mistake that I had made,

That's really interesting. Sounds fairly hostile. Although I guess from the opposing party's perspective, there is no advantage to sharing information, only potential disadvantage... and its not something you can undo.

Thanks for posting this. This will definitely help a huge amount with the project I am working on (EnterpriseJazz.com) What models of laptops do you looks for. I recently bought an employee a used Lenovo T410. Is that a decent model, or are

That's fascinating. It sounds like mostly the requests are rejected because of lack of time / lack of skills / laziness then?

If we think it is a good question, we upvote it. I believe this conforms to the rules :) Definitely email if you are interested. And to everyone else reading this: its an open invitation, we'd love to meet some more hackers!

I participate in a circle of people who e-mail new questions that we ask (and answers). If we think the question needs work, we make suggestions. If we like the question, we up-vote it. The extra up-votes help with other people taking the q

Bill_The_Lizard does this so much I actually remember his name. I assumed it was just because he only had time to make snap decisions since he handling so much content. Now it sounds like this is a conscious decision to push beginners out.
