I was going to post something similar. I cannot stand letting my life fall into any sort of repetitive routine. I exercise, but I vary type, locations, duration, time, and everything else. When I find myself doing the exact same thing eve

Locks are mostly superficial. I've seen too much footage recorded from security camera monitors with phones to think that any monitoring system is secure or locked when people are involved. On the growth of such systems: it is almost inevit

In my opinion, the present valuation is probably too high. That said, Facebook could still do incredibly well. Facebook now has lots of money, plenty of bright people and a recognisable brand. You need money to make money in many fields and

Given the number of patents in existence at the moment and the complex wording, if someone didn't tell you what something was called you probably wouldn't be able to find their patent. Security through obscurity.

I've seen a bear of a man lift a 750kg engine out of a chassis (he gave himself a hernia several years later doing the same thing). I'd say it's possible but possibly a hoax.

Sometimes, in professions like engineering and accounting, it is easy to miss the meaning that numbers actually have. If you only look at the numbers (especially when the numbers are a representation for a data model and not physical data)

Wherever you want. It's your life, learn what you want to. You don't have to wait for some internet celebrity to tell you what you should or shouldn't be learning.

This is the sad path that modern journalism seems destined to take. Old players go out of business or adjust their content towards articles for broader audiences (read: crass, controversial, gossip and conspiracies). Most online news consis

First off, I know education != going to college. But let's be honest, some people who spend years of their life studying full time are probably learning more than people who watch a few videos after work. It takes a long time for most peopl

It isn't just IE that is a problem. The encryption scheme developed by the government is largely broken (due in no small part to IE and ActiveX vulnerabilities). South Korean banks and other organisations are losing money due to fraud and b

Do you have any actual criticism of the budget? It is a little off-topic from discussing the shininess of the charts. I thought it was pretty average and most of the cuts/gains were largely procedural (much like the last few budgets). No re

I can't agree with you more than I do. Good writing and journalism is more important than ever but it is completely missing. Blogs are mostly crap, successful online news generally consists of fluff pieces and most actual news is repeated a

Language is a way of associating yourself with a particular group of people. How you communicate determines whether you fit into a group or not. If a comment is just "This" it adds nothing to a discussion. However, the comment above is more

Well we can all see the benefit to Apple. Apple are making a killing with the App Store, this much is easily visible in their earnings reports. However, I think you are way off the mark with the value that 30% generates for users. What Ap

So in other words they are entering a market filled with complex pricing agreements with a simple cost for service structure. Not having to buy into a consortium is probably a good deal for a lot of people.

I've investigated starting a modern manufacturing company. Regulation and bureaucratic impediments are immense in most countries. When a manufacturing process is new it usually gets some old, broad regulation applied to it. If you doubt me,

Games is pretty much it for me too. I run Linux at home in a VM (because I'm more comfortable in Linux now than Windows) on Windows so I can get native performance in games. Steam for Linux is definitely a good thing.

I resonate with the article but I think the author only groks half the lesson. And, "Fuck them" is rarely the solution. It isn't being different, accepted, weird or yourself that is important. It is how well you can interact with other huma

Lock-in here only prevents sales on the content side. Yes, you can't shift your whole collection between hardware vendors yet but you also can't buy from several content vendors yet. If someone announced DRM free books they could sell to al
