You can get similar bang for your buck by firing your own bricks for a masonry house. Nice project!

The problem with ACTA is that it's not even democratically enacted. It was negotiated in secrecy to the point that the Obama administration said it couldn't be disclosed for reasons of national security. It's a travesty on every level, an

I think the easy way around that would be a landing page that wasn't at Dropbox. It would decrease the number of signups due to the extra click required, but it wouldn't cost you your AdWords account either.

In my opinion, patent 'trolling' is a good thing, (as long as it doesn't happen to me). Why? because the harder they troll, the more obviously broken the system will be, and the more likely it is to get fixed. I think this is really naive

Yeah, my wife's Hungarian, and we're coming to Budapest this summer (and maybe staying; she still hasn't decided), so we follow this stuff. Orbán is trying to do everything at once and doing most of it wrong, and I really don't like his

My wife is Hungarian - I'm American and the kids have grown up in the States mostly. They're bilingual, but culturally essentially American, with some hybrid vigor from bicultural exposure.

Granted. I wasn't making that claim, either.

In the US it is never tried or sentenced . It's simply made law, or laughed about if anybody mentions it.

Dude, look at the ongoing travesty in Washington and tell me again that Slovakia has more prevalent corruption. I'm just not sure I believe it. It's just less smooth and more obvious in a small country.

In 2006, we were in Budapest, watching TV, and they had a thing where you could SMS a number and your text would scroll across the screen. My daughter, then 12, was amazed that people were allowed to criticize the government in public like

It's all well and good making your secret deals to make the rich richer, but when the people find out, they're often not too pleased. Central Europe still remembers throwing their bums out - and in some cases lining them up against a wall

You'd be biased towards people ticked off about the experience, but it's an intriguing idea.

Could be worse - if something works anywhere , the United States won't do it. Health care? How can we afford to keep everybody healthy when we have to fight bioterrorism?

That's actually pretty plausible - my site never earned more than $30 a month, for example. Also it's unbelievably cynical.

You know, this is the first time I've actually ever heard of anyone getting unbanned through the ostensible review process.

Man, when I tried to do this with Tower Defense a few years ago I had the devil of a time reading the screen. I did end up managing to do everything but good OCR on the digit status displays, though - then lost interest. I'll bet everythin

You've never been cancelled, I take it? I was -- with the same "we've reviewed it and the answer is still no", until my friend Howard Tayler happened to note it in the comments under his Web comic, and marvelously it was re-reviewed and fo

Certifications for free? I mean, that's certainly what it sounds like. Talk about disruption!

No, voting in different lawmakers is not the sole recourse of citizens of a democratic country. Raising awareness so that your existing lawmakers notice the issue sufficiently to get back the ass coverage stage is far more effective than e

If you're going to list Cuba and the Dominican Republic, you shouldn't leave out Jamaica and all the Lesser Antilles - I highly recommend visits to any of them!

I have to say that from the inside, we don't look all that attractive any more, either. Do us a favor and boycott us loudly - money's the only thing our government actually understands.

Actually, right after the Civil War, I've read that things were pretty different - I know there were a lot of blacks who moved into Indiana and were accepted quite warmly by the people here, up into the 1880's and the Klan really got unde

Oh, God, the German dubs for Star Trek: The Next Generation were horrible - they sounded like the same guy did everybody's voices (OK, except for Troi, fortunately). And I'll never forget the debut of the Cosby Show in Germany and wanting

What always ticked me off was the same "non-American" rule applied while we were living in Puerto Rico - which is part of the United States. My kids were watching American cable and weren't able to access the online episodes because we wer
