There is a lot of sensationalism in that article. Half the pictured buildings are over ten years old. Only one is less than three years old. That is not to deny that china has an over investment issue with their state financed industries. B

I will argue that it does not matter. Of the two there is no 'better' browser. So long as firefox keeps enough users to justify Google's financing all is fine. Two highly competitive open source browsers is the best scenario the internet ha

Selling the default search position to Google is just about Mozilla's entire cash flow. It amounts to several hundred million a year.

You mean somehow applying resources even less efficiently than soviet economic planners? Is that even possible? I bet if the USA had tried such a tactic all that would have happened is a more efficient allocation. Imagine the covert spy eco

If I remember my macro-economics course 2% (or was it 3%) is a natural growth rate for a mature economy. We of course never see this rate since we always go for booms until we bust. 3% may appear low but it means that your economy will doub

The author did not specify that in their license: http://www.dafont.com/font-comment.php?file=harabara&psi... (scroll down, two people emailed the author for clarification) So I do not see a reason why the font author should have been

After your comment I was expecting a homepage with irrelevant information. Maybe some's blog. I will not spoil the surprise for others but I will say that I did not expect what I did not see.

Is there a chance you guys are not native english speakers? I'm Canadian and didn't find anything odd about the sentence. I think the context made it clear that he was talking about contributing.

Odd, I had no problem reading your comment. It also has an unusual clean-ness. Maybe period-less sentences are the future Throughout history english has already had many typological changes From a DRY stand-point capitalization and periods

Moderation can also get tricky. Pure spam is simple but you will run into comments where the commenter somehow works in their (product || experience). So long as they provided some commentary it is not pure spam. So the situation becomes a

Except these layoffs are not what killed the company. The company has been dead for a while, reality is just slow to adjust. Do not think of it as a company dieing but rather thousands of brilliant souls being released from enslavement.
