   I completely agree, Novell's press release sounds like a whiny child. The release says "To set the record straight, Novell GroupWise is a world-class product..." Did anyone ask this question? They come across as very defensive, which frankl

   "you know cars? they really should have had airbags when they were invented... oh, and they should have had CD-Disc players as well. Boy those car manufacturers were sure stupid." Why is this article interesting? He doesn't like HTML &

   It looks interesting, but I wonder if all that side to side finger movement will be a new source of repetitive stress?

   This is a great example of how we're losing track of information. Using older eggs is a trick well-known to my wife, who learned it from her mother. It seems more and more lately that we're re-discovering the wheel. Just a few weeks ago I w

   If chrome and safari are rounding errors, sign me up for some of that rounding action. On my site, year to date shows IE "rounding" down by some 20%. Most of it to FF, but Safari and Chrome are both growing. Seems like only yesterday Ballme

   I added Drupal in that mix as well and was pleasantly surprised. I disagree that there is less money in custom development though. All the Drupal developers (and I know a fair amount) I know are buried in work...

   I'm not sure "the relationship between ability level and challenge" is what MC means by flow, if that's what you're saying. Q: "What is "the flow experience" and what does it have to do with motivation? A: The flow experience is when a pers

    Why not HTML/CSS/JS? You can use it for web, widgets, iPhone/Android Apps. It's free, has a low barrier to entry, is easy to update, and has extensive documentation, both free and commercial. I'm not saying that Flex doesn't have it merits,

    hmmm... might have to check out the podcast, but I can't help but think the guy getting the brand has poor impulse control. Good luck explaining why you thought this was a good idea when you're 60. I don't know who to credit, but I once hea

    "Given the lower efficiency of organic farming, how much more land do we need to convert to farmland?" Maybe a better question is why have we let so much farmland get repurposed for other, arguably trivial uses? I remember a time when large

    I've like Safari's text-rendering better then FF in the past, but FF3 is looking great, and I'm intrigued by the ability to tag bookmarks.

    I've been enjoying the quality of news posts on Hacker News, but this link is lame. Generally speaking, I'd like a little context, maybe some informed opinion, or a first-hand account of some session being held somewhere, not someone's twit
