I think the best solution to this problem is to keep your fixation point and move the text. Implemented beautifully in ForceFeed ( http://qwerjk.com/force-feed ) which is currently down :(

It's surprising how much weight the community gave your opinion, because the truth is that it really doesn't matter what your opinion is. My comment isn't meant to be snarky; it's meant to point out the /ultimate/ absurdity of our copyright

The question of immorality is irrelevant unless it is also illegal. It is the government's fault for putting so many loopholes in the tax code. They knew exactly what they were doing when they put them there, and have just as much culpabili

The original link says he moved to Belize because he had a legal judgement against him in the US, and wanted to protect his assets. Not sure if that's true, but it might not be as altruistic as "antibiotic research".

Taken in combination with Apple's fumble of the recent court-mandated apology and issues with map functionality, it's easy to understand why their share price has retracted. They are still at the top of the mobile food chain, but these rece

Can you give an example of the police brutality cases you had in mind? I'd be interested to ready more about the social dynamic with the judge, if you can point me in the right direction.

It's not that it's different; it's a form of civil disobedience (which isn't even that disobedient) by requiring more time/energy/work on the part of the TSA agents. If enough people opt out, the line slows down, and the machine gets turned

It's fantastic to see PayPal finally paying attention to these kinds of nightmare stories, but it's hard to believe it has anything to do with altruism. They are seeing Stripe, Square, etc getting way more mindshare, and they are scared. Wi

on your edit: pixel-for-pixel? Are you kidding? That would be hard to do in an html document even if it was your goal . Not only that, but I saw the original, and it wasn't. You have inverted the moral terrain, and you are now going to hav

"theft" is so incorrect that you damage the credibility of your argument by using the term. You have a social/emotional complaint: someone took your good idea (and kudos to you: it's a great idea!), and duplicated it. But it's recognized (a

No more of a ripoff than Windows Metro is a ripoff of the iPhone OS. If you open source your version, this will not detract from it. And if you don't, then this gives folks something to use.

I have ATI cards in all my linux machines. They work /ok/, but it really seems like ATI only gives lipservice to being linux-friendly. After making promises for over a year about how big there commitment is, the improvement has been disappo

What the hell? I already pay for my data. AT&T is just making a blatant money grab. They need some competition.

/Wow/. That's incredible. How does the "<>" operator work? I'm familiar with command line redirection, but I've never seen this. To wikipedia!

This is a fantastic premise, and wildly fun to think about, but I think the author fails to prove his case. Good designers eliminate cruft, and if one is conscious of the design, then it's bad design (although it's possible I'm guilty of a

That's exactly the part that stuck out to me, too (2:36 for the curious, and again at 3:05). It makes him look like a complete hypocrite. It's not unique to Steve Jobs; it's human nature. But it's still kind of distasteful to see.

It seems strange to call a liberal definition of rights "draconian". There must be a better adjective.
