The "Sell for Beer" buttons don't seem to do anything at all in Firefox 3.6.16 on Ubuntu 10.10. Otherwise a funny idea. Are there any laws about direct-mailing alcohol, though? It seems like much of your target market is legally prohibited

I was seriously annoyed recently when my former employer's payroll software required that I have Adobe's PDF plugin installed to download my W2. It wasn't a .pdf link, no; it insisted on using the plugin before it would let me save a copy.

The plaintiff's assertion is not just that they are unable to compete with a free product, but that they are unable to compete with a product which, according to them, is only being given away for the purpose of harming competitors and esta

I think this is foolish. Marijuana is still illegal at a federal level, and it is only by the grace of the DEA that dispensaries and growers are not (often) raided. This is a product which is likely to produce a strong reaction. Much like F

By living and working in a country such is America, you are accepting a social contract: if you do well, you will be taxed, if you do poorly, you will at least receive some services to support you. This strikes me as an entirely reasonable

"Imagine someone at your work insisting that Java and Javascript are the same language." This is a rather poor analogy. Someone confusing Java and Javascript might believe they can paste their Javascript code into a Java program and have it

The remarks about commercial distribution of the Danger from the Deep CC By-Nc-Nd assets do make me wonder if the Non-Commercial clause can stand up in court. Consider, by analogy, that I produce a product FOO, which I sell for $1 as a down

I interpreted it the opposite way--that schools in poorer districts will gradually find it necessary to implement such classes due to financial concerns. The software will be drivel produced by the lowest bidder, who will probably use vario

I strongly second Muir Woods, if you have any interest in wilderness at all. I also hear that the coast is beautiful in that area, e.g. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2b/Point_Rey... so you might visit Point Reyes Nationa

I am glad you posted this. Most of the site should be required reading for you if you give any thought to self defense. Particularly "How NOT to get shot" and "What is Self-Defense." Possibly the most important point it makes is how easy it

Actually, they provide less security when used to replace, rather than supplement metal detectors. You can conceal a (sheathed) knife or (very small) pistol within your anus, with lube, patience, and some not inconsiderable discomfort. Neit

It seems to be about right--the predicted damage to Hiroshima from Little Boy matches up pretty well with observed damage (see http://www.atomicarchive.com/Maps/HiroshimaMap.shtml ) I think it's just a very different geographic scale of th

In 1978, Anatoli Bugorski accidentally stuck his head through the 70GeV U-70 Synchrotron. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoli_Bugorski He is alive, but suffered serious injuries. As I understand, the LHC is of a similar design, at 100 ti

They do inbreed very heavily--not exclusively, but more than any other animal of which I'm aware. The larva will mate with siblings, if that's who they happen to find.
