Running is rubbish, slow and boring, and you never get anywhere exciting. Try cycling, you can actually go places, have a great time, and see a lot of the world around you. Running if for people to cheap to buy a bike:)

There is no point in just reading maths books. That would be not much different to reading books about celebs. You have to get your hands dirty, start exploring theorems, or even start modelling them in the computer. That would be impressiv

Ok, so you are no good at statistics (your anecdote means very little), why should we trust you to judge a programmers ability. You know how hard it is to actually measure how productive a programmer is, he could be writing absolute crap, t

Well, you could watch the video. Seems to work pretty well. I hate flash, but compiled flash might just be ok.

No it isnt', there are plenty of languages you can program the iphone in. Straight off Apple supports C. Then a lot of people have added support for other languages. All these have been advertised on here.

I guess you didn't watch the video? The apps appeared quite snazzy, I am sure they used open gl es for them, so there is no reason they should be. I hate flash, but I hate dealing with open gl even more. Maybe I will have to look into this.

What a load of waffle. You still get to write documents, do spreadsheets, you just use different products to do it. Products that have some advantages, and disadvantages. It is more like changing your brand of cigarette. Clearly not a follo

Disagree, bury yourself in your work. I left my gf a year ago, have thrown myself into my work, setup my own business, and I am pulling in a lot more money from that. I can almost quit fulltime work.

The sad thing is that you missed the point of this article, that pirating isn't really a big thing, not enough to worry about.

Well, they clearly don't have infinitely more to lose, that is ridiculous. Don't throw that word around, it make you look stupid to mathematicians, and you don't want to make a mathematician angry, They understand the language of the univer

Ok, so working for a company is better than working for a doomed startup, full of racists and incompetents. Really? That certainly is good advice, I am just not sure that anyone else needs that to be explicitlt pointed out. I can't wait for

Only being 99c helps. Who cares, if it is only 99c, you probably spent more on coffee in the last hour, or at least a lot of people have. I think the big attraction is the great design. it is a beautiful looking app. There are plenty of fre

Maybe this guy has a point, but he start of talking about absolute trash. Yes, I can and do play VHS vidoes today. Yes, camera cards do die out after 20 or 30 years, but what has this to do with the fact I can make backups, or just keep cop

I haven't used an alarm in about 10 years, and always manage to wake up at the correct time, even if it is 5am. My girlfriend is always amazed. I get up, have a shower, then go straight to work. I can be out of the house in 10 minutes. I fi

Because business doesn't work like that. You can't go around changing someone application, or removing words from the description that you don't like. That is really bad. They have given the guy the option to resubmit, so all that happens i

The problem is that Apple has decided that people might get confused that they are sending SMS', when in fact they are not. And they are right, some people will get confused, it doesn't take much for people to get confused. And people gener

Yeah, it worked for Nokia, who over the last year made less in profits from all there phones, to Apple and its 3 phones. Yeah, they sell many more phones, but make a lot less profit. Yeah, it is working for Nokia.

There is actually loads of sites out there, that duplicate the iphone functionality, when in mobile mode. There are other toolkits to make your web more iphone-like. It has its advantages and disadvantages. Most people don't even know what

This is exactly my problem as well. I still enjoyed, but was expecting something different, something bigger. Not just another chase film, where one man and two aliens take on an army. Still the best sci-fi film for a long time. (Haven't se

This is great, but be wary of your son doing too much muscle building when he is so young. I have heard from several sources that it may stunt growth. Never seen anything conclusive, but I have never looked for anything either.

Damn, what a bunch of sissies. Don't apologise for stuff that isn't your fault, tell them not to touch your screen. No need to make an excuse. Don't be rude, but don't be ridiculous over the top apologetic either.

The most important thing you can add is the ability to sink between two computers, so I can sink my iphone to my work computer, and my home computer.
