We should form a committee to discuss how to fix design by committee. Sound good?

The first generation of a technology is fueled by necessity. It's often a tiny project with only a few guys, and they portray it as "hey, I made this thing, if you wanna use it too, cool" The second generation is often fueled by things whi

Man, NASA is so desperate for money. Good to see the private sector paying the public for once.

If the power is somewhere, I'd like it to be with Apple or Google, not AT&T. At least they tend to aim for making their customers happy, when AT&T seems quite intent on screwing me over.

The part that scares me most is the thought that Mozilla is willing to give any power back to the carriers. I do not want this, not in a million years. I'll take Apple's walled garden over AT&T's heap of shit, any day of the week.

It told me I should eat a cup of avocado and 2 cups of skim milk for dinner. I'm confused and rather appalled by the thought of having that for any meal. Additionally, I've heard stories of it telling people to eat 8 eggs for breakfast, so

They didn't argue that MegaUpload was in the right, only that MegaUpload technically managed to not break any laws.

I feel incredibly sorry for Isaac. First he fell into maintaining NPM, now he gets to deal with Node too. Best of luck to him, he's sure gonna need it!

Biological this, biological that. How about ideas for those of us who aren't scientists?

I really connected with this post, because my startup is also in this "early early stage". It's only been a month or two that we've actually taken our idea seriously, after coming to the realization that "woah, we could actually do this!"

Beautifully said, truly. The problem isn't the language, it's the program.

I would love to do this, but sadly I have no other (good) choice. We've basically got AT&T, Clearwire, or Comcast. Comcast is fast and expensive, AT&T is okay but cheap (and their tech support sucks), and Clearwire is just shit, p

Some languages are designed for professionals to comprehend easily at a glance: these languages use symbols instead of words, use brackets effectively and don't rely too much on whitespace. Other languages are designed to be easy for anyone

This nearly made me sick. Yes, let's use RUBY to generate our PHP. That makes loads of sense. Then you said HAML, and I giggled. Then you said SASS, and I started cackling. Then you said CoffeeScript, and I nearly died of laughter. Keep you

When we say whitespace, we usually mean multiple spaces at the start of a line, something known as "indentation" ;)

It's not a really that big a minus when you think about how common WiFi hotspots are, plus Android only really captures two audiences: those without money (cheaper phones), and those who want "openness" - let's face it, nobody actually woul

First of all, documents are not data. If you think it's data, you're sorely mistaken. HTML was designed as a way of MARKING UP text, not for making a DOM tree. The DOM is simply a way of representing HTML for scripting access and whatnot.
