This could be the beginning of the end for Google. As soon as they start pandering to advertisers instead of users, things are all downhill. People want to find file sharing sites, and if they can't find them on Google, they will go somewhe

Prehaps entrepreneurs should stop reading and start doing. Some things are just impossible to learn from a book, and even the things that can be learned from a book can be learned faster and better through personal experience.

OK, I can potentially see where vi(m)'s rectangluar selection would be good for editing config files and such, but I'm pretty sure all modern editors have rectangular selection anyway (notepad is not a modern editor). My IDE has the ability

Why do you have the same 10 characters on 10 consecutive lines? Sounds like that is probably a violation of DRY, at least it always has been when I encountered something like that. Also, if you are comparing vi(m) to something, please don't

I've been aggregating all my messaging to facebook for awhile, my emails are forwarded to my @facebook address, and I used facebook for communication whenever possible. Maybe Facebook can finally replace the outdated tech that is e-mail and

So you are in favor of technology that takes control away from drivers as long as it works? Perhaps we are actually on the same page here...

It's not the average drivers that need help, its the bad drivers. The ones who roll through a red light turning right, but look left the entire time, which is a very common way for pedestrians to get hit by cars. The system in the article w

I'm afraid this is whats going to prevent adoption of more automatic cars. The people who care about cars don't want the features, but its the people who don't care about cars that would benefit most. And they don't pay attention.

I like the part where he says "if you aren't one of these types, keep calm and carry on." A lot of articles seem to try and classify all startups into 2 or 3 types which is honestly pretty silly.

That puts the onus on the visually impaired and safety-conscious to protect themselves, and I don't think thats something you want to do.

I have a feeling that once the novelty of going to a child free restaurant wears off, this guy will regret his decision. Once a family has a favorite restaurant or three, they will probably continue going there even when their kids grow old
