People who've commented so far all don't understand 4chan. 4channers are not moot's followers any more than Boston residents are John Cotton's followers. Moot was simply the first who took the trouble to translate the software that runs 2ch

The market might summarily "take care" of iPhone itself. There are many people (young people) who don't know anything about design or hacking, but they know enough to make an app in Flash--sort of. And when people buy those apps that look,

According to the article, Amazon wants the power to set the price for ebook edition. Amazon has other priorities besides selling your book for as much as possible, such as pushing the adoption of Kindle. So if Amazon decides that your book

Why the scare quotes? It's a bona fide solution. When you kill yourself, the problem goes away. Also, why terrible? It may be terrible for the friends and family, but the person committing suicide certainly has nothing to lose by it. A loss

Almost all robots doing work today look nothing like humans. The neat thing about humanoidness is that it provides a benchmark for robotic technology that any technically-minded person can understand.

You could fix the deanonymization problem this way: when you pick a trusted user, you can see not only his votes, but all his trusted users' votes, too. Maybe weigh the votes differently depending on how "distant" they are from you.

In Europe, lower classes* are obsessed with upper classes, and vice versa. In America, neither cares about the other. The upper classes are free to live in their own world (much as the great artists of the Renaissance), while the lower clas

"These days" as opposed to which days? Yeltsin days? If this is what you meant, then this is sneaky of you (perhaps unintentionally so), because you are offering political opinion, which is wrong, and which I may not refute on this site bec

Perhaps it would have been the 25th instead of the 20th. The Western European civilization has been a miraculous and unprecedented thing, and the Church was one of the main ingredients. It's impossible to say how things would have turned ou

The problem with catering to idiots is that unless you're an idiot yourself--the particular kind of idiot comprising your target market--you have no idea what your customers want. Also, this approach would probably be too demoralizing to su
