I think that says more about your partisanship than it does about the plan. Paul Ryan (who authored the plan) is the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee and was considered a front runner for the 2012 nomination until he said he w

Good article but I think everyone at Microsoft knows the registry was a mistake at this point. It was designed in 1991 after all. Microsoft does seem to be slowly moving away from it (see point #9). But outright replacing it just isn't an

So we're pulling Bill Nye out of the mothballs now? The way I see it Copenhagen couldn't get commitments from anyone and things have only gotten worse for Pro-GW side since then. It seems we're at least a decade away from legislation (assu

I think the caveat to "People will not pay for what they can get for free" is "People will always think something costs money if it once did". In my experience most still think of Opera as a browser you have to pay for.

There are other options available. What almost certainly happened here is that Google was so concerned with getting the features right that they pushed it out without asking "What could go wrong?" A lot of startups do that and most of the

You flat out reversed his point. His whole point was that Coulter doesn't have an ideology she just makes up whatever she thinks people want to hear. It's funny how someone's obvious dislike for those who they disagree with can just shut o

You're right. But it does seem like the perfect place for the Obama administration to follow through on it's promises and release the raw data for these calculations to the public each month (in a machine readable format of course)

I think Thomas Sowell (the author) is one of the smartest guys out there but he’s wrong here. He’s arguing that we, as a society, can never make things completely fair so liberal’s endless social agenda to make things fair is a waste. But

The irony of this article is the only way for him to get the control he wants is to be on Facebook and monitor what is put up about him. Only then will he be able to see what he doesn't approve of and ask those people to not put them up.

The way I see it you only have one option and that's use it yourself and try to make it into something that can make you money while staying off Apple's radar. I base this on the following conclusions: 1. As gte910h points out it's next to

The issue isn't "wealth" as much as it's "more wealth". There's a classic example of a secretary who did her job really well so she got a raise only to find it bumped her into a higher tax bracket and she actually made less money. So from

Your example is bad because people making over $250,000 generally don't use most Government services. A better example would be if the person came in to buy a TV and you forced him to buy a TV, DVR and surround sound system for the guy stan

To be fair I'm not sure that's possible. I doubt any company that bribed him is going to admit it and the kid's dishonest so there's no telling how true what he says is. If Techcrunch posts who they think offered a bribe and are wrong that

I get why Cuban feels the need to respond here but I think this is just an example of blogs playing the traffic game. Saying "Mark Cuban is a hypocrite" draws a lot more traffic than "Mark Cuban said X at random conference Y". So that's w

Just wanted to add that you can create an icon for a web app that on the home screen and it will look and act like a native application (e.g. the mobile safari tool bar and address bar won't appear).

The question isn't "Can C++ work?" or "Will C++ be faster?" because we all know it can work and that it will be faster. The question is "At what point does the extra development time become more expensive than just adding another server to

The keyboard situation was the same for me and it turned out to be the deal breaker. I had the Asus 1000HE (a 10.1") with the same 92% of normal size keyboard and I just never got used to it. I have an easier time typing on my Blackberry (

I don't even think it's just people spending a lot of money building a site. Outside the tech sector Flash is the #1 choice of every graphics designer turned wannabe web designer. These guys generally have no idea how to code but can sell

Annnnnd I think we've finally reached the point where the Apple Tablet simply can't live up to the hype. We've clearly been flirting with that line for awhile but putting it at a level above the original Macintosh puts it over imho

TurboTax can download my W2 from ADP (our payroll provider) and get the rest from my previous tax return. Then it submits it all via e-file (This isn't an ad for TurboTax since I assume all the other packages also do this) In the end I did

This sort of things makes me wonder about the difference between business code and UI code and the effect of splitting them. Right now the argument is that it's too expensive to maintain two separate user interfaces. But as more and more

But that's only true if the facts aren't true. If the Dow did really fall because people are worried by the new regulations than the title isn't sensationalist it's just factual reporting. So the question is this: Was it impossible to fin

That just makes my point. Follow me here... The original comment was saying "this guy is partisan and that's why he doesn't like the article". You tried to refute that by saying "He dislikes both sides" I'm saying he doesn't really dislike

I'm sorry but this is bull. The man dislikes both sides but he disagrees with the right and thinks the left didn't go far enough. That's not the same thing. In a slate profile ( http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2009/04/16/cassandras/inde
