How does github make money? I read the article but it's only a couple of paragraphs. Github seems to be mostly personal and open source projects. With good reason since it's trival to set up a git server yourself and so you'd

Haven't owned a TV since 1999... I don't like how they become the focus of the room it's in. However, I do like the new oled tvs, especially the super thin one that can be hung up at any time (prototype only now) and may get

I've sort of given up on Netflix but maybe I'll take a look. I mean, I still pay my monthly fee but I now watch all of my stuff through Plex. I just subscribe to a show and it appears in my Plex server, with a much better ui than

I had to spend a good amount of mental effort trying to explain to my German teacher, in German, why American pork tastes so bad (or, rather, has no flavor). When I said, 'Schwein, das andere weisse Fleisch, wie poulet' (I'm

Those things they sell as blueberries in the stores really aren't blueberries. They appear to be some giant flavorless mutant. I don't know if it's because they give them too much water or if the flavor has been bread out of

Were the snowden files encrypted? If so, maybe an attack vector was the journalists. Or maybe we're confusing the wiki leaks insurance file with the snowden files?

It's even worse than that. The u.s. has been in constant warfare for the last 25 years and have killed ~600,000 people in that time. What countries have the Chinese been bombing, killing in that time? The u.s. is fighting an ideologica

It will require a much different strategy than with the Soviets. We don't have a fundamental political difference in belief with the Chinese. The Chinese are ultra-capitalists with a technocracy leadership (although the u.s. is more le

Well, that was pretty much impossible to read and as far as I can tell had nothing to do with a bad language (other than the author's use of offensive words)... I had a friend who around 1996/7 hacked together some shell scripts w

And yet people pay taxes to the u.s., a brutal and desparate country where the state regularly tortures people in prison, puts its citizens to death innocent or guilty, and sponsors some of the worse terrorists on the planet. The u.s. has f

It's in inches, but aren't those sizes right around the normal European carry-on size? My wife and I have a couple of European size carry-ons (a couple of rollers, one medical bag style) and then a couple of American size carry-on

It's really too bad, but linux has failed as a consumer os. As an example, most of us use laptops and linux power management is horrendous on a laptop with battery life of 50% or less compared to Windows. And their consumer desktop UIs

Now the Saudi's come to the u.s. and take over an entire floor of the Mayo, kicking out patients (ok, just moving to another floor) because they want security and privacy. I actually don't have a problem with this. They're fi
