I think someone is paying someone else off. The automotive lobby is big and powerful.

And the "more market share != winning" comment... let's add an example of that... Microsoft. Yes, they rule in the desktop space. So what? They haven't done anything to innovate in a LONG time. They lost the mobile marke

Yes, this is subjective... I realize that, so here's my opinionated response. More market share != winning. Applications for Android tablets largely still suck. Applications for iPad, are better quality in my experience - and that by a

Wow. Lost karma because I'm enthusiastic about something? Neutral, I'd understand... but downvotes? Really? I've seen even more plain and simple comments get upvotes. You folks are a fickle bunch.

I will admit that I am probably making a pretty sweeping assumption here... but I'm assuming Netflix previously had the same access as everyone else on the Internet, from Comcast - and now, they do not. They have BETTER access. To me,

Ubuntu. Hands down. None of them are perfect, but my experience with Ubuntu is that it is hands down, the most desktop-friendly distro out there. On the other hand, the "RPM hell" that is rumored to be gone in RPM-based distros, i

I've said as much to @pydanny already on Twitter, but I think it bears repeating. Piracy absolutely does exist, and it will continue. This is the ugly part of society, that some feel entitled to steal and rob others from the fruits of

I'm confused. You think that by showing your address... money is just going to fall from the sky? or are you trying to sell your seats? What's the point here?

Silly me... I saw "Eclipse" and thought this was about the IDE. I started reading and wondering what this person was talking about... then I saw the URL. #headslap

If you use OpenSSH... you benefit from OpenBSD's work, even if you're not an OpenBSD user. SSH alone, and all the utilities that use it... have made my work/life SOOOOOO much easier. That may sound silly, but when you don&#x2

I'm in a similar situation to OP, in terms of age... but I have no real programming background. Just scripting with bash/perl. I've ditched the Apple "new shiny" for a while, and I'm going all Linux & Andro

There is an even cheaper way to do it, that I'm AMAZED doesn't get more attention. Credit by exam. The two options I used, that covered one year of school for me, in about 4 months... CLEP and DANTES. CLEP - http://cl

Curious to hear more about your feelings on this, and what other distros you've looked at.

This question made me laugh. Seriously. I have a laptop and a desktop, each with 32GB of RAM in them. 2.1 TB of storage in the laptop, about 3TB in the desktop. Here's why I give that detail... they are both VM host machines. Host OS i

Another vote for ThinkPad. I have a W530 running Ubuntu 13.10, and everything works.

Please forgive my ignorance of these kinds of security issues.... I remember at one point, way back when, it was recommended to use RSA keys over DSA, when creating an SSH public key. Is this this the same algorithm, by the same company? Do

I'm getting this lesson a lot lately, from my almost-2 daughter. The things I think are important, aren't. The things I think are trivial, end up being important. I just put her to bed, and I'd like to leave the rocking chair

@eropple I hope you get that I'm not trying to minimize or trivialize your concerns. I just wanted to point out something that impressed me. @olegstepanov the guy that just asked you for your feedback... he's the CEO of Jetbrains.

It seems to me that if this is to seriously take off, it would require a distribution center in every major city, at the very least. If anyone can pull it off, I think Amazon can. I wrote a term paper on them for my last class in school, ba

Would be great to talk to you more, based on your previous questions/posts, but no contact info listed. I have some of the same questions that you've had.

I have 1BTC. I wish I could turn the money in that into more. Wish I would have bought more initially.

Okay, so I can't edit this... but I got a snarky email from someone saying it was hard to take my advice seriously. I had the "at-will employment" and "right-to-work state" concepts backwards. The simple fact of the

Hire slow. Fire fast. If you're in a right-to-work state, the law says you don't need much reason. Either party can terminate the employment agreement, at any time, for any reason. Anyone can be trained for skill, "fit"

Oh yeah... besides, the prevailing wisdom is this: execution > ideas. Most people talk up an idea, but never do anything with it. Talk is cheap.

Yes. I'd figure out a way to give some attribution to the original creator of said idea. Check this out. http://everythingisaremix.info

I've got two 16GB N4's I'm trying to sell to fund a purchase of some N5 new shiny. $250 apiece. I hope I can still get that much out of them. :) I think the price for the Nexus devices is excellent, since you get pure Android
