They're still obsessed with this "whole house is a computer" idea it seems. This isn't what people want. People like different devices to do different things. This thing is for calling people, this (tablet) is for reading the web, this t

I worked in Network Engineering for years. You will absorb the new unmemorable IP6 addresses the same way you absorbed the unmemorable IP4 ones. Plus you potentially have the added benefit of having the MAC right there in the IP so you don

The guy who wrote this article is going to work for Google? I guess they've drastically changed their hiring practices?

I would take A without question. After just a year or two I'd have enough money to work on my own fun-as-can-be-but-will-never-make-money projects for a decade or two.

Like most one liners, that's not very fair. I don't even know my own phone number. Why would I? I consider it bad interface that I have to ever even hear this kind of technical detail at all. I know my number and every other number by t

This is a good point. If I'm sitting in a very densely populated area the odds that some couple within 100' are exhibitionists must be pretty high.

How do you advertise? This sounds like a great idea but I'd be interested what your strategy is to get eyes on the books, since this can often be so much effort as to not be a passive income anymore.

I'd like to hear more about this. I've been thinking of getting more into photography myself. It seems like wedding photography is a bad idea as it's way overdone. I was thinking architecture or portrait photography. What did you all en

It's good to see Linux finally address one of its biggest (if not the biggest) weaknesses: the display stack. Interesting that several groups have tried this same thing [1] but it wasn't until Wayland that it got traction. Still, I'm ha

I'm not so sure. Of course some people are completely closed minded, but I think there is still a lot of ignorance out there that can be cured. You wouldn't know it staying on sites like this one but there are a lot of people who's primar

You bring up good points but there still is a need. There are plenty of people who wont even consider news that isn't on TV. Having a mainstream channel that disagrees with Fox and CNN would be a great thing IMO.

That's how PR works. Thanks for buying into it so the rest of us have to hear about even more of it. Do you know why Jobs killed it off? Maybe he found out the organizations they were giving to were scams and lost faith in it. Judging

Not to mention the fact that even if, against all odds, Larry and Serge truly are completely benevolent they aren't going to live forever. At some point they'll get bored and leave or get old and die. Then the next guy will step into a co

The motto? Seriously, the motto? Man, if only Bill Gates had known this he could have avoided the monopoly trials just by creating a stupid motto. He probably didn't bother because he probably never imagined anyone would be naive enough

I disagree with this bit of hyperbole. You only live one time. Living the life of a pauper because of some ideals if just not practical. Most people will never hear of your sacrifice and those who do will write you off as a nutter. Chom

There's always someone trying to make everyone out to be a hypocrite. It is not a conflict to both have a belief and not act within that belief. If the world suddenly started working the way he described and he still tried to sell thing
