The minimum charge argument is bogus. If I ordered a $20 meal by myself, 1 * ($0.30 + 3%) is acceptable, but if me and my friends order five $20 meals, 5 * ($0.30 + 3%) is suddenly unacceptable.

Refusal to split checks irks me every time. So what if they pay a fee per transaction? If I go grocery shopping with my friend, the cashier at Wal-Mart doesn't see that we came together and force us to combine our orders. Why are restaurant

Tough to read. The points about Foursquare's supposed lack of business model has nothing to do with game mechanics. Game mechanics is about fostering user engagement. A less attention-grabbing headline might have been "Game mechanics is no

Absolutely not. I think as a rule of thumb, people should present the most credible sources they can find.

The format does make sense. Let someone like Arianna Huffington or the Memeorandum people curate CNN.

While CNN is abysmal most of the time, I do have to question the site's use of the Chinese media as a comparison point. I like the idea of criticizing our media, but let's not allow superficial headline pages determine that an outlet is goo

Olmert is a political opponent of Netanyahu. He's also about to get convicted of supposedly the most serious corruption charges in Israeli history. I wouldn't call him a paragon of credibility.

700+ votes is ridiculous. But compare those 700 votes on a single post to all the votes for posts calling Steve Jobs a crazy loon for the iPhone SDK TOS fiasco.

Are you implying that Israel has an interest in a radicalized Gaza? I would think that Israel wants moderate Gazans. Fatah, which is only moderate when compared to Hamas, was swept out of Gaza.

South Park parodies stupid and foolish behavior. Being massacred is not stupid nor foolish, it is tragic. A completely unbalanced, bastardized form of political correctness is quite foolish and stupid.

Has anyone credible raised the question that Theo van Gogh was really murdered by someone out to make Muslims look bad?

Almost all of Greenwald's counterpoints referred to situations in which public resources were involved: public funding of an art exhibition, public funding of a play via a university, use of public airwaves. What's somewhat frightening abou

The best part of South Park exemplifying the double standard is at the end of the Cartoon Wars episodes where they show Jesus and the American flag in a pretty vulgar scene. I'm sure Comedy Central received plenty of complaints from offende

The issue with Piss Christ was government funding. I doubt anyone is in danger for their lives for Piss Christ.

Great idea, I want it at Penn State. You should get data that links textbooks to courses. Then all you do is enter your current schedule. When you pick the next semester's classes, students get matched up.

Masses of people showing solidarity for Stone and Parker will not cause more terrorism. Letting these fanatics know that their tactics of petty intimidation actually work will create more terrorism.

Absolutely wrong. These guys thrive on the fear they can stir up. You let them win this relatively small battle, then the larger ones follow. Every single American lost an amount of freedom when Viacom caved to thuggish threats. I am no lon

What's completely missing in the "consumers" section is any discussion on the positive network externalities that come with a a highly interconnected network. Without net neutrality, Comcast could simply throttle speeds to sites that compet
