I learned a good lesson too. When I was a management trainee, my training manager abandoned me (physically left). I was two people short, meaning I was dealing with drive through (taking orders, filling orders, and taking money) and making

I read most of my books, first time through, on the computer. Reading is a discipline. Reading well partly means ignoring, or eliminating distractions. If you're truly interested in attaining as much information possible, then e-books are m

I might find myself doing the same soon, we're getting a little sick of eggs.... But I hope they didn't throw them out because they thought they went bad.

I didn't figure this all out until we got our own chickens. I even threw out an egg because it had been sitting outside for over a day. I didn't know at the time that a farmer has 30 days to sell his eggs. That the grocery store has another

The amount of royalties we have received from sales to hobbyists makes the time spent on Altair BASIC worth less than $2 an hour. I once calculated my per hour wage from the work I did. About $1.50 Hang in there Bill!

Ultimately, there is nothing that can be done about sharing data. We're at the beginning of a cascading stupid-decision phenomenon. But, at some point we are going to have rethink our reward paradigm. Change the meaning of money?

walking by a ledge and thinking of throwing your new laptop off it Whoa, that just gave me chills. When I used to work for fast food, every time I walked by the deep fryer with a bucket of ice I'd wonder about all the things that would ha

Thanks, I must be in a bad mood. (I just caught swine flu and I am now a pariah) Anyway, I love physical books, especially since I go through most books with two different colored pens. I know the value of having something physical. But I s

Prime is REALLY worth it when it comes around to the holidays, and this just makes it better. Less hastle. Better gifts. Easier to hide the gifts. And Prime's perks continue throughout the year.

Yes. The words "man-years" is key. This guy had balls.

So HN, LW, and OB aren't the havens that I thought.... Just fucking great. Or did I miss something and σ is actually relative to the average intelligence of a group? Does stupid = not intelligent? I'm going to have to re-read this and scan

MacLeod’s “Loser” layer had me puzzled for a long time, because I was interpreting it in cultural terms: the kind of person you call a “loser.” While some may be losers in that sense too, they are primarily losers in the economic sense: th

This is true of a lot of trades. Music and writing. Do not let people in on your work, unless they're privy and trusted. It is hard for average people get excited about your intentions, if it isn't presented properly. In fact, it is all abo

Count me in for the hacker commune. I've seen so much work get done in similar sittings for musicians and writers. And it'd be great to have more people who "get it" physically around you.

Don't take luck personally; there isn't enough luck out there for everyone to be as lucky as Bill Gates. There are a lot of things out there that guarantee success. Low risk, and time consuming. Most people are too scared of high risk endea

Do we still need to worry about particle buildup becoming kindling?

I love it! I always look at things in terms of man-hours. Forced piracy warnings before watching your DVD? A sin against human progress. Though this isn't a big infraction, it all adds up.

Colemak layout turns your caps lock into a backspace. This works surprisingly well, but I really wish the spacebar was split in half. And I've always felt shift+spacebar should = backspace.

As for a keyboard, why not have the virtual buttons relative to where the the fingers are placed? As in, place all eight fingers onto the pad and this automatically becomes home row. Simply strike above and below home row. Depending on the
