Actually, this is the solution for Pandora: Go the route of a two-tier system, where users who listen to ad-supported music get to listen to music whose label doesn't demand more than $X, and to listen to music whose label demands too much

What blather. Two points: (a) oil is fungible. Fungible, FUNGIBLE. (b) offshore drilling, will help, and nobody is proposing that it is a solution. Nuclear and solar electricity and better batteries are the solution. Drilling our own

Cuban included in his "proposal" the restriction that this should be allowed only for individuals and only for one business. If you do it right, there won't be any Exxons taking advantage of it.

There is no place in the Western world that doesn't have (a) politics that are even more mad (b) a worse economy (c) less police state. Not reading reddit is probably the best advice you've gotten.

Can we please stop calling these two languages C/C++? I cringe every time I see it.

Sorry - couldn't make it tonight. Too short a notice for a guy with a family (it takes a couple days to coax the wife into letting me go)

Hmm. I just did the classic stupid thing. I tried this trick with the email name I had hoped to get, and it turned out the guy has the same name as me! Imagine that! I had hoped to get firstname.lastname@gmail.com Going to bed is start

I mean, really.... How hard could it have been to have the label on the far right say "Americas" instead of "Latin America" and just include Canada, the U.S., Greenland, and Iceland in the list?

I always like a good, consumer-informing post like this, but this seems overly reactive: 5. Wimpy 2 MP camera. In the world of 5 MP Smartphones and 10 MP point and shoot cameras that you can buy for under $200, why is the iPho

Yup. I just had a class in which 15 of 18 I caught cheating, with 6 of those committing blatant acts of plagiarism. When you try to talk to those kids, it's totally like a Pinter play. I also completely empathize with the high-lows he desc

This really was a great submission. I also am an adjunct instructor (albeit at a 4-year university), and I can attest to this guy's experiences. The line that really lit me up was this: Our dialogue had turned oblique, as though we now

I've been watching stuff like this for months, and I've seen very few commercial efforts to bring a light-duty truck to the EV showroom floor. Why? It doesn't make any sense. A light-duty truck is the perfect vehicle for an EV redesign b

Unfortunately for the left-handed, due to its era this book makes no allowance for chirality. If you're a lefty who furthermore hooks your hand over to write, well... This occurred to me while reading through the theory book. What if you

Right on. I'm working on a contract like that right now, and our "lead developer", so to speak, is doing exactly this (i.e., do BDUF, write the framework first, and I'll get to your application when I get to it). The money quote that real
