For all you people who are not phased by it and think it's OK and harmless: you do realise it's your own tax money they are senselessly wasting here right? A lot of money. For nothing.

Awful article, brilliant advice but I value content over style. The density of specific advice and tips is impressive. "I believe it will take a skilled person with a strong work ethic starting from scratch a minimum of two years to get any

Do you think it's OK to go to such places outside of a company organized event? Would it be OK if the employees went there on their own?

If you disable the space race as a winning condition the chance of a nuclear holocaust over time approaches 1. I'm not saying there are any lessons to be had from it. It's only a game.

Aside from this being a good candidate for the dictionary definition of the kettle and pot idiom the problem with RMS is that whilst I agree with him wholeheartedly on almost all software issues I would never use him to convince any of my n

It's been incorporated into the front page. The only thing missing is that they want to use Razer Hydra as the controller.

All my socks are black or at least dark so I don't have to rifle through them. I'm guessing you're American and by pants you mean trousers but it's a lot funnier to think you don't. I bow my head in respect of your colour coordination. Myse

I'm being perfectly honest here - I don't own other clothes. This way I can fit all of them in a tiny closet and it makes life easier when moving. We don't do baseball in the UK but I get your meaning. You can always take the tie off - inst

I've been wearing a shirt and tie since I was 18. The only t-shirts I own are the oversized ones I pick up on random occasions (get them as a bonus when buying something for example) and I only ever sleep in them. This isn't to say I wear t

It's like someone going for a stroll at night in a shady part of town and then complaining they got mugged. What the hell did they expect would happen? Same goes for the US. Start paying attention to the news. It's been widely reported for

This is missing the point of a shell by a mile. Extra features are nice. As an extra . Preferably on top of a rock solid platform that works everywhere, on everything, under any conditions. Same reason your PC boots in 16 bit real mode. I'

Unless you're willing to spend in excess of £300 on a keyboard you can't buy a mechanical keyboard that is also ergonomic. And I think it's more important for a keyboard to be comfortable rather than enjoyable. As long as you keep replacing

The only reason I can think of is to confuse your coworkers. Maybe it's to force people to learn to touchtype by going cold turkey on the visual aid? As far I as I can tell it's just an overpriced gimmick.

They sign a deal with the owner of the rights to the product which might be exclusive to a region. This is a leftover from the the days of yore. The owner for example might want to sell direct in his country, but is happy to let some other

I had a similar experience with amazon and digital downloads. Region restrictions on the Internet? Really? It baffles me to no end that they do it even though it's obvious why they do it - suits are still thinking we live in the 18th cent

The list is very conservative this way, but I add a bunch of sites myself and uncommenting google-analytics and other tracking sties is perfectly safe and doesn't break anything - even google. And for cookies there's cookie monster.

I put google-analytics (among thousands of other useless tracking websites) in my hosts file. Probably the most useful text file you'll ever download: http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/

Great idea but the size and scope is too small to be meaningful. Also, asking people a direct question will often get you a dishonest answer. Maybe there's a way to ask the same question in an indirect way?

We should stop sending humans into space and start sending lots of robots but first we need to create better robots. There's no reason or advantage of a human being there. Well, that's not really true now but only because robots still suck

Except in cases where a little knowledge of the subject is more dangerous than no knowledge. (But I disagree with the post, teaching people to program would be a net gain I think but I'm sure most people won't bother so no danger of ever fi

Here's an idea. If you think it's a bubble then get on it as fast as you can as there's clearly money to be made and cash in as soon as possible or whenever it is you think the bubble is going to burst. Sorry. I guess I've read too many art

Typos aren't as bad as bad grammar. I can immediately correct typos in my mind as I read the text. I have to parse the sentence first to correct grammar. Butchering of English aside, the service can't deliver unless it's human moderated whi

Articles that start with "I've been in the industry for x years" usually end with "waahhh, I don't like changing my business model". Don't want a second hand market? Use digital distribution. Oh, I forgot, you've been in the industry for x

This is so ingenious that it baffles me how no one thought of it before. Needs an alternative way of unlocking. A short link and then a passphrase generating key.
