How about, no? The day you realize the tools you use are not the most important part of your function is the day you finally understand what it is you do. Yes, tools can make things easier, run more smoothly, or make you happy but... Can

Aw, LoC as a measurement? Can we use negative LoC for lines removed? :)

Its funny, but I think the richest people I know have all paid off their real estate. They don't pay rent, and they stayed in their homes til they could pay them off. It sounds simple, but it really takes a tremendous amount of resolve.

I'm definitely not an investor, nor do I know what I'm doing but... * 401k, maxed to what my employer will match * Stocks just for fun * Bought a house when the market was extremely low * Invested in myself; getting a Master's degree throug

My wife actually works at and for the library. Trust me when I say, you definitely don't want to work there. The amount of riff raff that hangs around that joint is just not worth it. People get trespassed, throw fits, steal DVDs, look at a

Thank you for following up on this! I read the original thread and pondered all the crazy details. I want to apologize for all the flak you're catching about minute details, of which most are meaningless, and wish you luck in your current a

You know, its kind of naive to use a binary to represent gender. Just throwing that out there.

Just wanted to say that this is perhaps the most accurate response to this sort of situation that I've heard in awhile. If it is a good piece of work, why not pay for it? The time it would take to verify a FOSS solution meets your needs alr

Philosophy -- learn to see things from different angles, different philosophies. Most importantly, observe how others in your class react to discussing touchy philosophies and concepts, like religion and politics. Learn to step outside that

Unless they're the most difficult, ToS breaking, bandwidth sucking users on the network. I think it was AT&T that showed us the stats on mobile data usage. They stated that only 2% of mobile data users were consuming over 2gb a month. T

They wish. And by they, I mean AT&T and Verizon. AT&T needs users to switch to Verizon so the network can finally get some relief, and for the PR outbreak that will happen when Verizon users finally realize the limitations of CDMA.

I'm a little blown away at this myself. I knew they were extremely agile, able to make changes on a whim, but this sounds a bit crazy. Might check in with my buddy who works at FB to see if this matches up with reality. The sheer stress of

I got this same link and fear mongering from my Aunt. I couldn't resist replying to her to let her know that Intellius and Rapleaf probably have more information on her. Not to mention, if she uses any Google services, that they probably pa

Same here. Friend of ours brought their Kinect over to unbox. We played Dance Central out of the box in under 60 second flat. My wife and I have never been able to enjoy a game that much, at the same time, in ages. Needless to say we bought

If I were you I'd look into Chrome Web Store (though I imagine you already are). It looks tailor made to facilitate this sort of product's sales. https://chrome.google.com/webstore

Pretty sure the Pro X2 cards already had Ad-hoc mode enabled. Does this mean they're adding this feature to the standard model?

I own a Vizio HDTV, and I have to say, they're doing a great job at making high end products into commodities. A few years ago we would say the same thing about Hyundai, KIA, and other car manufacturers but today? There's more of them out o

Sounds like the eye tracking we saw using the Wii-mote awhile back, just using front-side cameras. Heck, you could do that now with a simple app and some eye tracking.

Since I've never really used either, I would say no. That's just my personal opinion, and not backed by any facts. I will say, however, that none of my friends and family use Quora, and most of them do not use Buzz. I sit in the camp that t

True, there would definitely be some loss of content. Of course, you could give an account to students based on their obtaining a .EDU address. :)

Easy, charge for a monthly fee to access the site. Period. Sort of along the lines of Metafilter's one time fee, in order to keep the commentary and content both relevant and interesting you could raise the barrier to entry.

They're playing it safe. I don't understand what the outrage is here. Apple launched the iPhone back in 2007 and took it slow, learning from their mistakes, to build the iPad in 2010. Its a very different user experience, despite being a gl

My understanding is that these are meant for developing nations, and the lower cost is an incentive for inducing education over there. Although it may be cheaper in the short term, in the long term you may be jeopardizing the business model

I said this on the survey, and it seems that several others agree, but I would love to see more physical things on a daily deals site for hackers. AppSumo is too much SaaS for me, and I have a day job where I don't get to make those purcha

And thankfully our laws and the freedom of speech allow them to say all that sensational stuff. As someone once said of Voltaire's attitude: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
