It'd be nice if a group like that could have a simple admission test. I'm not trying to exclude people that are actually interested, but something really simple just to keep out the whiners could be useful.

Thanks for posting this. It provided the best explanation so far (for me, at least) of the law that so pissed off Joe Stack.

Nicely done. I've needed this countless times. This looks like it'd be a perfect fit for the mac dashboard... do you know if something like this exists, or how hard it'd be to make?

It also kept it from aging quite as quickly. I can still play most sprite based super nintendo games, but most n64 games make me gag. Early 3d is pretty hideous.

An interesting question. It could be be that. Could also just be an example of what could happen in a country with a highly educated populace and highly-available broadband internet. If you have a choice of not just a few, but all teachers,

I'm not part of this beta, and I wouldn't pay $300 for a key either, but I've participated in Blizzard's betas before, and I have to say there is something kind of special about it. I'm not just talking about bragging rights... it's about p

Making the metric well known can really screw systems up. Take google, for instance. Their original idea of link reputation was clever, but once it became known people came up with ways to game it, and now a large portion of internet exists

There are teachers who broadcast their lessons online who are currently doing this and making much more money than normal. This is becoming especially big right now in South Korea: http://english.ntdtv.com/ntdtv_en/ns_life/2009-07-15/47658

One of the best ways to improve your wealth is imperialism, i.e. taking what isn't yours, but on a grand scale. It has worked for royalty forever, and while it's out in the open, nothing was ever done about it. What did the royalty do in Ar

I'm with you on that. If everyone presented their opinions with as much thought and research as she has here, we'd all be a lot more informed.

I'm no expert on the best way to get readers, but I felt the article was extremely well written. It honestly felt like it belonged in a publication.

The demand for bribes is one thing... I can get over that. But a teen already using passive-voice apologies, ala "a line was crossed," now that I can't abide!

I was the same way. I'd have been much more interested in attending a real tech event (CES, perhaps), than something called "Teens in Tech." That said, it could be a good event, I really know nothing about it.

"That's why we have no entrepreneurs anymore. Life is too easy without them." Any evidence to support a decline in entrepreneurs? The internet seems to be overflowing with them.

Your early life doesn't sound too far off from mine, minus the stint in the Navy. Managing finances hasn't been a big problem for me, but achieving some other goals of mine has. Do you think your habit of tracking everything came about as y

I'm almost certain there is. It's apparent in most of British culture. I even read an article recently about different approaches to sports throughout history that said basically the same thing. The greek/roman tradition was very hero focus

Not necessarily. As I commented elsewhere, I doubt any medical students would stay in school for the entirety of those 2 years, if they weren't going to be able to use that knowledge anyway.

Unless they go on to have a meaningful life, why is helping them meaningful? I don't mean to be argumentative, I'm just curious.
