If the experience is no better than what I get at home, then I will not pay for a premium ticket... Going to the theater should give you an experience that is either not possible or too expensive to get at home. So the only way they will su

Very nice indeed. From the begining I felt it sounded like Feynman - he was an interesting guy.

I came here to see a list of why Python is a good choice and instead the answers surprised me in a good way. Indeed it's not about the language - it's about programming. And although Python is a great language you should keep your options o

Actually, none of the two items were on my mind: you are a member but you don't own the club to set the rules. You are just allowed to invite someone else in. I'm not sure manually whitelisting scales.

what about a "members only" club, where you need an invitation to get inside? It worked for google to get members if this is a problem and it may show the relative quality of the members subtree.

Well said. The maintenance costs will be large enough over the lifetime of the pylons so that different/complex designs will be a net loss.

Maybe debating about it is not the right approach. If you have experience in PHP and you can afford some (inherent) delays in the next project you should try Python and see for yourself. You will be hit by reality faster and better than any

Steganography is not a modern invention and if you don't get the hint, neither is linking unrelated terms to get a hot title on a tabloid. This Yahoo post is not far away from one.

"Why exactly is it bad for people to badmouth their governments or big companies online?" Funny enough, there's a discussion in our local press these days about the "Press" considered to be a vector of insecurity to government/local agencie

So instead of more water down the drain you fill the dumpster with the cartridge... which you then recycle, of course.

When people want to save water they think... I'll use water-less toilets! Now they have two problems.

Never underestimate maintenance costs. The traditional urinals have at least the advantage of self-maintenance. You flush them - they clean-up. If you don't flush, someone eventually will. You don't need someone to look them over or replace

No so many years ago people argued that an online web server is an open invitation for anybody. Now if you have a link you can't use it because of TOS? Is this enforceable? How do you get the TOS? You download the link to it? Man, what if y

I remember you can define algebras however you like with arbitrary commutativity and associativity rules but in this case you should also apply them and not assume they work in a certain way. If -1 * -1 = -1, this algebra disallows distribu

Why Sony's Walkman will Eventually Win the players Wars... The article is biased by the current level of technology and while Sony's device was revolutionary, it didn't win that era's wars (well, maybe the first).

I've tried TDD for one project and it gave me a nice feeling of having a safety net. It was a good feeling. The problems started to appear when the project increased in complexity and needed a redesign in some of it's parts. I had to do _ag
