I wonder how come he didn't mention publishers, who are the people who make the real money in music these days. Sure, record labels make more money in total since they're very big, but publishers have much much juicier profit margins. There

The shell, for instance. It's much easier to get things sorted out in the command line than on Windows and Remote Desktop is a pain in the back. Once you're familiar enough with the shell and shell scripting, maintaining Windows servers can

Anyone thinking about building an .NET (ASP.NET MVC) based web application should strongly consider a Mono - PostgreSQL - Unix-based OS stack. You get the power of Unix (not a negligible thing in my opinion), PostgreSQL is simply awesome (a

This is a very interesting question. I believe that demos didn't "take off" simply because most people don't find them interesting. If you ask me, the main reasons behind this are the inherent geekiness of this subculture (it's difficult to

While I agree with this description of the value of information, I disagree with your interpretation of it in this context. Consider the following, rather extreme example: nuclear power stations are equipped with countless diagnostic system

Fashion is clearly very subjective but it is also a visual language. If the way you dress within a context is communicating that you don't care about yourself, you aren't dressed properly.

I agree. Being too clever for your own good is a trap that even experienced developers walk into sometimes by creating very clever yet incredibly stupid solutions to non-existing problems. This aprils fools joke is a satire of that.

I know this might sound shallow but the first time I meet someone, I actually judge that person based on the way he or she dresses (if I suspect that he could afford dressing properly). It tells me whether they care about themselves, whethe

This is really great news. Open sourcing Razor means that it can be shipped with Mono, so the awkward getting-razor-working-with-mono rituals won't be necessary in the future.

No he means that if you sell them, you have to pay the due taxes. Zynga and Valve supposedly pay their taxes. The difference is that in this case it's the individuals who make a profit and the IRS (or other tax agencies) would make such a "
