I'm not shocked. Its callous but I'm open with my friends that when they move, we're not really going to be friends any more. I don't see you any more, we don't chat all the time because you're in a different t

I like Moxie, but I think he's a little off base here. I exclusively fly first class and I'm not a doughy businessman. I don't even fly for work-just pleasure. I see the flight as the beginning/ending of my journey and I

Because there's no business in Twitter. There's no path to being in the black and there never has been.

Its the Dell problem-they think if they cut the margins to the bleeding edge they'll make it up in volume. Just like Dell though they all find its a tricky edge to walk. Playing the volume game means you're one bad quarter from yo

I watched the entire season of Community on Yahoo TV on my AppleTV. I never saw a single ad-either before/during/after the video, or in the app itself. They spent a ton of money to get Community and that awful Goop thing from Gwyn

And the calls from my manufacturing clients are already beginning to roll in. Lots of expensive CNC machines are going to be idle this morning while local stores are raided for serial to USB adapters, tested, then returned.

The one killer feature his proposed solution doesn't have that everything else does-wireless. You have to buy additional equipment (a standalone WAP, or if you want to get really daring, a PCI/USB wifi card) to make it have someth

They're not actually building things out of red stone (although they may if they're learning some basics about circuitry). The schools around here are using Minecraft to teach Java-by doing things like creating custom blocks in Mi

Many middle schools/high schools in my area teach computer science (programming mostly) with Minecraft. Its a good starting place for showing kids in a familiar environment what they can do with programming.

My grandfather ran a farm. Small farming isn't profitable. Full stop. Farming scales up really well but not down.

Whats amazing is that there seems to be no way to contact anyone to take down this database-its just sitting there happily serving up data to anyone that asks. No contact info, no way to track down the owners. Almost makes you think knockin

For myself nostalgia doesn't have anything to do with it. I like well built furniture that will last the test of time and remain nice looking. Ikea and the ilk produce throw-away furniture. Even their sturdiest/most expensive piec

I set this up yesterday and it worked great. I went from a blank slate on lets encrypt, to deployed SSL cert in less than an hour. Most of the time was spent discovering that 1) acme-tiny requires Python 2.7 or above to be installed and 2)

The 'swastika' one is interesting to me-with the curved entranceways they look kind of like funnels. Could it have been used as a place to herd and trap animals? For example people have used naturally occurring box canyons to trap

The best thing my school did was moving to the 'block' system. Instead of having 6 or 8 classes to go to every day, I had 4 classes a semester. It also meant that my algebra class, or biology, was twice as long as your 'stand

Do you know if they sent Google a sitemap? Our client is insisting on a sitemap that has pointers to every-single-product. Something on the order of 2MM+ product pages. It seems like a bit much to me

This is good-one of my current projects for a customer is entirely AJAX/JS rendered and we were worried that Googlebot would have a fit with it.

How about Java? Currently FireFox is the only way to use older versions of the Java plugin on OS X. The way things are going I'm going to have to keep a WinXP IE6 VM for managing all these switches, printers, UPSs, and everything else

This is basically my nightmare. Nothing is as personally terrifying to me then being restrained and medicated. I also worry about this kind of situation because my wife is black and we live in a very nice house and both enjoy nice vehicles.

Apparently having a programmable operating system that allows reading/writing to RAM and system devices and that is rarely updated running under your own operating system allows easy exploitation, who would have guessed? System integra

Thats really pretty amazing. Filtering out the 'echos' would clearly make the data more useful, but I can see how thats almost impossible without very clever engineering

I'm pretty non-confrontational, but if someone beat me up in a business meeting, I'd change my cell phone and rat them out to the police as fast possible.

Cyclists in the US ride their bikes like people in the third world drive cars. If you think this is a good thing, ask any immigrant from outside Europe if they like our well ordered system or if they prefer driving at home.

They already have a 'yes' from the big labels. The big labels probably look at 3 months of no revenue from Apple streaming as a storm they can weather on the way to bigger profits from Apple Music in the long term. Smaller labels

I think it's taking a long time for the Mac App Store to catch on-but I think it'll get there. When I find an app I want to buy I've gotten in the habit of checking the MAS to see if I can buy it there-I'd rather buy thr
