Will most people want a PC? Phone and tablet sales have been eating into traditional PC sales for nearly a decade now. And the PCs people have still been buying are mostly low powered laptops that won't be able to power a Rift or Vive.

The iPad 2 was a great machine at the time, but it's saddled with a low-res screen, very little RAM, and a slow processor. A newer iPad would be nicer on your eyes, and would be far less likely to purge non-active browser tabs from mem

I would screw up that first named argument thing every time if it weren't for Xcode's autocomplete.

"Bodies are like machines, if you use them a lot they will wear out because of over-use." One crucial difference between humans and machines is that humans regenerate and can grow stronger through careful exertion.

"Drop one of x++ or ++x. C++ programmers generally prefer the prefix forms, but everyone else generally prefers the postfix forms. Dropping either one would be a significant deviation from C." Funny given the name of the languag

That's true, but those same businesses could have more easily moved to a newer version of Windows. It seems like an irresponsible business strategy to have your critical applications rely on a 14 year old operating system. Microsoft re

That's only a problem if Microsoft promised or implied XP would be updated indefinitely. Is that the case?

Kinda funny to say a Chromebook is your machine, when your setup relies on remote desktop access to a more capable computer.

I know you can't exactly copyright a color scheme, but it might be a good idea to not so closely copy Daring Fireball.

I've encountered a few rude cabbies in my last three years here, but the majority have been nice. However, I agree 100% that they tend to drive like maniacs.

Amazon.com is more than 20 years old. It’s not surprising they are in markets for the long haul.

One big obstacle is that the existing trains with more passengers should & need to always have the right of way. For example, should the non-pod people be stuck at the platform if you have trouble clamping your device onto the track?

Why would a PRT station be any more likely to be built near your home?

All excellent points. This is why we should invest more heavily in proven mass transit systems rather than divert limited public funds into these inefficient pods or hyperloop systems. Corollary: Is it really that bad to have to ride a bus

I only buy ebooks these days. I love having access to the same material on any device without needing more bookshelves in my small apartment. However, I wish I didn't have to pay a premium for that convenience. I certainly cringe whene

Those are very densely populated places. Los Angeles is something like 1/6th as dense as NYC. And if LA is anything like the rest of the United States, there are laws on the books preventing it from becoming dense enough to support mas
