Is anyone else concerned that if all of the easy money in high tech is undercut then there won't be any more profits to fund continuing innovation? As neat as something like Arduino may be, it's not exactly cutting edge technology.

Seems a bit pointless to complain that a language based on the notion that "There Is More Than One Way To Do It" offers too many choices on what to use.

Probably you'll find that the majority of hackers started with computers before they were 18. It's not so much that this is a requirement as it is a fact that unless a person starts in fairly early with computers they won't have developed

If a friend offers to let you stay with them as happened in your case, that is one thing and they are being generous. You have a good friend there. However, when you post to a public forum asking strangers for a place to stay while you're

Do you think that at least some part of the problem is the difficulty involved in getting people to think original thoughts?

Then don't try to tackle Craigslist head on. Attack them with an indirect strategy. Focus on what Craigslist doesn't get right and aim for the identified weaknesses. Better yet start by building up a position of strength for your own comp

You will have to look at documentation like everything else having to do with your startup. Document only if it provides a high return on your time and resources. Ask yourself at each point while you work on your project: 'What can I do n

Big corporations that have software everyone wants to use can treat their paying customers as beta testers. You know this drill as Microsoft pioneered the practice a long long time ago.

The WSJ isn't a conservative/Republican paper. It's actually just plutocratic.

Here's an idea... let's try paying them by the line of code or number of bugs fixed. Oh wait, maybe that isn't such a good idea.

ThinkPads are/were nice. I've been a bit concerned about reduced quality since Lenovo took over from IBM, though admittedly I haven't seen any problems with the newer Lenovo machines I've had to work with that would justify such concerns.

With Perl, this is a pretty reasonable assumption to make. If you can think to do it, usually the interpreter will handle it in some reasonable fashion. How, I don't know. But it's one of the reasons that Perl has a reputation as a write

If you're doing web development for money, then you should go with whatever is the most expedient solution that produces reasonably attractive results. The danger here of course is that in the long run what's expedient now may lead to prob

You're joking right? Basically, they're going to populate their encyclopedia by pillaging the information out of wikipedia. Search engines should not be competing with content providers.

Dollar for dollar, such donations do more good for more people than a donation to help save the one life. However, it's easier for people to relate to individual tragedies than it is to the faceless masses who collectively are in greater n

That's mistaken. It's likely that they will start stepping down per-core CPU speeds in the name of reducing the heat given off by each core. This would let them pack even more cores in and improve the 'overall capability' of the "chip".

I'm sure this works great when you can split up your application to 2-10 threads. But how well will your programs work when you have to cope with 200-2000+ cores?

If you want a more modern tool in the same class as Emacs and Vim, take a look at Sublime Text: http://www.sublimetext.com/ Unfortunately, it's Windows only for now and the author is charging for it which is probably a deal breaker for no

That's good and that's bad. It's bad because it means you'll have to move much faster to get your site out the door. It's good because then that makes your site much more valuable as an acquisition for one of the large search engines that

If you have worked with C or Java, there's no reason that you shouldn't be able to follow a book written with Pascal as its language. If you haven't, then Pascal is still an excellent teaching language that would serve as a pretty decent l
