The best way to assert your rights to a police officer is to be calm, polite, and firm. Remove emotion from the equation, and you'll come across credible. Get all worked up, and you fit the pattern of an unstable, dangerous individual tha

I hope it doesn't run backwards when it hits the end, like in PKD's Counter-Clock World.

I'm not saying things 10-20 years ago were great. I'm just saying the plastic feels thinner and flimsier lately.

Cheap in price, but also quality. The crap we buy today feels like garbage compared to 20 years ago. Maybe I'm getting old, but consumer products today seem watered down and made of the weakest thinnest plastic that the masses will put up

If your friend cannot give you a fair equity stake, its not worth your time and effort to make it work. Before signing the NDA (which is perhaps just legal due diligence), you should have been equally formal to make equity a pre-condition

Much anticipating that "new windowing system". If you wonder why Linux has never claimed the desktop, look no further than X.

I saw a sign on a GM dealer a few months ago, "100 shares of stock with a new car purchase". LOL, they can't even give their company away!

It's more like a video game with lots of mini-games to keep me pleasantly distracted.

I did a git svn clone with standard layout, and I can switch branches just fine.

Ruby feels like all the misery of Perl mashed into Smalltalk. Which is a shame, because I hear such good things about Smalltalk.

So they can control it at will. By outlawing it, they can shut down whatever they don't like, and skim the top off the rest.

This is a great example of why I don't have a startup project right now. There's nothing I can think of that I care about enough to want to work like that.

Washing dishes at a steakhouse/buffet family trough at 16. Got in a knife fight one time with a mentally challenged but belligerent coworker. Avoid these places, but if you can't, avoid the bread pudding & ranch dressing. You really

The up & down arrows on your page are yours, and yours alone. Do whatever you want with 'em, whatever feels right.

Hmm, maybe I should snub social media too. They're mostly time-suck.

I see nothing wrong with that. It's a winning strategy until these services are mature and commoditized in China. At that point, you'll perhaps see market pressures drive innovation. If FriendFeed doesn't want to support the Chinese lang

Maybe one of those online fabrication sites (don't know of any off the top of my head, but you could find some on fabbaloo.com)? Or are they still too expensive? Too bad you don't need more than 10-20, then you could probably use a factory

I used to a long time ago. It was OK, but now I'd just use the Eclipse CDT. CDT can probably cross-reference your code about as well as LXR if you tell it about your compiler & include paths. "Jump to declaration" (F3) and call hiera

My opinion? The more decentralized and self-sufficient we become, outside of a central authority, the better off we all are. I think the way to make this happen, however, is not open hostility to the current central powers and authorities

My recommendation: apologize and drop the issue with IT in a vague and forgettable manner, use proxies (TOR, open proxies, a cheap VPS), set a normal browser or web-crawler user-agent -- and please, whatever you do, go easy on their infra
