100% agree with you. However, one can frequently assess the quality of any given review by the quality of the prose it is written in. This is especially true for Amazon, IMHO.

Well, they couldn't get mp3s from CDs until new technology made this possible. So if I had some technology which allowed me to get your source it would be okay for me to copy and use it, right?

This article seems a bit disjointed. Are the 'fair use' clause and the Viacom Youtube suit really related? I don't think so.

Your technique might get you through college fine, but to become a truly great writer one must write and rewrite, not because anyone demands it of you, but simply because one cannot imagine it any other way. Same goes for other artistic fo

I think all three of the above examples (Facebook, Reddit, Facebook) are examples of first mover advantage, not any specific technical feature.

If Chuck Moore wrote his own ultra-minimalist language, then the language had some form of structure. Using structure when you program => Structured Programming? No?

'We Reject Structured Programming' Brilliant. Might as well reject programming languages. Or better yet, draw scribbles in MSPaint and call it a program.

Very rare. Client management often is a full time job in itself and can be very frustrating. Before consulting I recommend finding at least one large client that can guarantee 20-30 hrs of work for at least 8 months. Then use the remainin

'New Business' I believe, which I assume expresses the idea of finding new contracts. Not easy to understand.

Anyone installed this? The documentation seems sparse and if what I see on this website is all that is available, this is not quite the equivalent of Instant Rails. No Apache, MySQL, PhpMyAdmin, Management Interface, etc. In other words,

I made a comment on the (Facebook) -> (Social Networking Microsoft) possiblity a few days ago on a similar thread that was up here. I believe at this point only pmarca and Ning have a decent shot at saving us from this nightmare. On

I think it would be very interesting to see Pg address some of the criticisms of Arc. I did notice the comments on the original reddit posting, of which several seemed well considered. CL seems to generate so many branches that it does n

Aren't these the same Arc lessons that have been available for awhile now? Just because something is posted over at reddit that doesn't mean it has to come here... ;)
