This is my process for writing anything: 1. Write a first draft. 2. Remove as much filler and redundancy as possible. 3. Fix syntax to match reduced content. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until content is 100% informative. As a writer and program

How do they figure out who participated in a torrent or not? If they joined the swarm, isn't that entrapment?

Are you kidding? Playing beta is the best part about Minecraft. The game keeps advancing, and the team blogs and tweets asking for suggestions or new ideas. This is the kind of stuff kids dream about: designing a video game! Honestly, I thi

I'm really tired so I'm not 100% sure it's exactly linear, but if the bandwidth is around half then you get twice as much usage. So instead of 5 hours it would be 10 hours, which I'm guessing is around 1.4% of the month.

I'm actually very excited about this feature. I feel like George Costanza faced with "worlds colliding" when my family, friends, and coworkers were all meeting each other on my wall. I had to give up the site because I have to keep those li

> Even though the American corporate tax rate is 35%, nobody pays that. Is she saying no corporation pays that or just drug corporations?

You might not be that far off. Electronic payments are becoming the standard. Banks love electronic payments.

What really helped me understand Git was this 2-part tutorial that uses Gitk to show how your commits and merges work. Part 1 - http://lostechies.com/joshuaflanagan/2010/09/03/use-gitk-to-... Part 2 - http://lostechies.com/joshuaflanagan

I'm still a little unclear with the purpose of this bill. Is this extending a tax to businesses that work with businesses in CA or am I missing the point?

Really? I thought it was about building skills by just applying yourself. You don't learn guitar or Ruby in a night. You practice and play with them for years and integrate them into your projects.

You're right that there could be other reasons for BT rates to be falling, but for me, personally, it's exactly what the article says: I prefer to use Netflix over BT.

What's the point of an e-reader without e-paper? I don't need my Kindle to play music or surf the web. I have a phone, computer, netbook, and tablet that can do all that. All I want to do with my Kindle is read books on e-paper. Honestly, t

Honestly, I just don't care anymore. Napster has shown it's face over 10 years ago, so anyone still thinking the same music business model is going to sustain forever is a fool. Hacking a system to create artificial value is not the answer,

You're right about the people who always talk about the "high-level" topics and can't code for crap, but I also think that identifying problems is more difficult. Case in point: 42. Who knows how this number was processed? Programming and d
