It's fairly ironic--Google is restricting the page views (to limit bandwidth usage), but at that same time they're hosting a copy in cache of that same page, with no limits.

I like the Economist's style as well, mainly because it rings of old intelligence. But they have a large, overarching identity backing them, while as individuals most (usually) don't. Similarly, they publish in a formal medium, which Hack

I read it the other way around. Calling somebody that you're not acquainted with by their last name in writing is pretty standard practice, and doesn't carry any connotations (at least to me). On the other hand, using a title like Mr. or

People use AIM because their friends use it. What IM protocol people use seems to vary from locale to locale (among the non-nerd types), probably just depending on which got used first. I'd happily switch away from AIM (by that, I mean the

I used Vimperator for a while, but it slowed Firefox down significantly, and made it more prone to crashing. I believe it's a known bug.

Better yet, don't require "changing everything". Write a program that takes a password, and upon validation sends you an email. If you don't reply within a certain period of time (say, a week), then it will send your info to whoever you w

Huh? He asked if the list was by submissions or by votes, and I was pointing out that his answer was right at the top (by submissions).

I agree that these are annoying, and yes, they can be awkward in a family setting. But it seems like the guy's problem isn't so much with the kids seeing it (which really doesn't seem to do any damage, they either don't get it and ignore i

RSS may go away, but something better will take its place. People put RSS on their blogs for multiple reasons. I use it on mine because it greatly increases the usability of my site. Another way it helps is that it makes sites "stickier";

Often, increasing profit margins means giving the customer what they want. For instance, take a hormone-based manipulation that makes beef leaner. As a result, it'd be tastier and healthier (?), and thus more appealing. That's not to say

Maybe it's an issue of fear, but I doubt it; probably a combination of cultural stigma (thinking it is "weird" for a white person to go to a rap concert) and relative wealth of the target markets (concerts are much more expensive than album

Perhaps, but would releasing their music for free increase the demand for their concerts enough to make up for the loss in revenue? A million dollars, even if it makes up a relatively small percentage of profits, is still a million dollars
