> By the way the french translation of "Your son is dead" as "Votre fils est mort" is very dry and tasteless That's exactly the point. You wouldn't really say it like this in English either, but in a Soviet

I'm going to take a different tact on this comment. You're European, and I think you may have an overly inflated concept of what a DMCA notice is, hopefully this will help. The DMCA, or digital Millennium copyright Act, was a poor

One would think, since SCOTUS said since Aereo walks, talks, and acts like a cableco, then Aereo is also available to license rebroadcast rights under the compulsory license clause, as cablecos are. That said, I think Aereo is wonderful, bu

Here's my problem with Scott Adams: he thinks he's a lot more clever than he really is, and he is down right smarmy about it. I've been in the dot-com start up pressure cooker, I'm in another start up right now. The one

As noted in your first link, the concept of a circle based cloud was around in the 70s on BBC, if not other places too. I drew one for my consulting firm in 2006, before Mobile Me adopted one.

If you're a cognitive 0.01-percenter, being a corporate drone is going to be way more painful than a decent public high school. Trust me, I know both. I'm well aware. There's a reason I've been independent the vast maj

In my case, that would have been great. I had a few teachers along the way who allowed me to shed some of the shackles, and by the end of the year, my grades were always over 100%. Those are the teachers I really admired and felt I learned

I agree that this should be done for the majority of students. Like Gatto, I advocate a complete overhaul of the educational system in the US, and I think it's entirely possible even with the meager resources we currently allocate. Cle

I think this is a horrible article. His central argument is that the kids who demonstrate exceptional intelligence have too much attention heaped upon them, and discards the argument that in fact out school system fails these kids. While I

The boot loader very well may have been the same, as the paper tape reader would output the same bitstream regardless of the reader. It's basically flipping switches (transistors) to get ready to receive data from the serial port and p

But those are tools, and this argument is that it's better to do things the bad old way than to think ahead and save time and work. I guarantee this guy doesn't remember what it was like creating web sites in 1996.
