Do you think it is understandable that someone might know all of the facts of the suit and still consider it a farcical lawsuit, if not a textbook example of one? I ask because those facts are often presented with the presumption that the p

The legality depends entirely on the location of the stolen property and the method of recovery. It's not the actual reclaiming that is illegal. We are talking about this particular iPad, which we only know to be on the thief's person, in a

It's a crappy situation, but he has to weigh the value of his iPad against the cost of possibly being charged with trespassing, breaking and entering, or worse. He could end up with more severe charges against him than the thief. If this is

That is illegal in many jurisdictions. He should let the police handle it.

Woah, that information should definitely be in the introduction, as is customary for blog authors who are presenting the work of others. I didn't know it isn't your work until I read this comment.

Since you invited me to call you naive, you're being naive :o) The tablet market is only a little over one year old and has already exploded. Considering their age, tablets are pretty cheap and versatile. Further, they aren't meant to repla

I get lost like you do, and I'm sure we're not alone. In the same spirit as TaskPaper, check out this to-do list app called I Do Lists: http://eightthumbs.com/idolists/ It let's you make lists and check off items. That's all!

That information seems pretty suspect to me. They are assuming an average force of 100,000 men working at any one time to reach that figure. Funny enough, this Wikipedia article gives significantly smaller average work forces: http://en.wi

You've created a situation where nobody can refute your premise that "most people are basically all right" without outing himself as part of the cause according to the conclusion derived from that premise. Impressive :P

Also recall the difference in tone between these forums and the PSN forums when Geohot was under attack by Sony. Some people simply do not understand the consequences of what has happened and only care about playing their games again.

This John Carmack quote is relevant and shares your sentiments: "The idea that I can be presented with a problem, set out to logically solve it with the tools at hand, and wind up with a program that could not be legally used because someon

When I am reading, I first look for signs that the author has been trained to know the rules. Later, I look for him or her to break them. There's something about knowing that you are breaking a rule that makes it feel more legitimate to me.

I would be interested in knowing why you chose this submission title. It seems very dishonest considering 1. the selection bias, 2. the fact that multitasking would not be practical or useful for all of those apps, and 3. it could have ju

This seems like an example of a headline that should have been reworded by the submitter. skeptics.stackexchange is a Q&A site for scientific skepticism. That title is actually the title of a question, but you wouldn't know that by read

For what it's worth, I was referring to the attempt at a justification by the guy I was replying to. I thought I'd point that out for the record now that his comment has been deleted. I didn't think you were being misleading.

I might be in the minority, but I don't think that's a good reason to be misleading.

For someone who has only sold two or three things, it is always awesome to hear this type of advice from experienced sellers. Can you explain why you recommend passing on the reserve? Even if the product will sell for a price that the marke

I don't agree with Penn on a lot of things, but I admire his humility. His @ replies to people on Twitter are are basically saying, "Famous people screw up too. I can be an idiot sometimes." That shouldn't be a breath of fresh air for me as

You're right. That's actually one of the things I admire about TC. When I spoke of fairness, what I meant was my personal perception and preference. He isn't required to be fair by any means, but I require fairness to not get fed up and sto

True, but it makes me wonder if SE would have the comparable coverage on those media if it got as much push as Quora has. (I don't think that the two sites should be directly compared, btw -- I was just noting that they had been whenever SE

It's really awful sometimes, and it's unfair to worthy startups that deserve the attention. Compare the coverage of Quora versus StackExchange, for example. There was a period when there were two Quora articles per day on TC. StackExchang

That it is not being debated is the reason it's a strawman. The parent is suggesting that the list of fallacies is a response to an argument that nobody is making. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, but that seems to be what he meant. If I ca

I do differentiate. Though he mentioned the font face specifically, I interpreted his criticism to be about the font stack and size and thought he was equating all small sans-serif copy. Verdana is listed second in the stack and is the one

I'm not sure that readers are necessarily turned off by small sans-serif fonts. It might be a matter of demographics, but Daring Fireball, which currently has an article on the front page of HN, isn't exactly struggling. Is the font use on
