An example of pseudo-spoken tone from the article: "The fact that this seems worthy of comment shows how rarely people manage to write in spoken language." That's a simple phrase to read, but I'm pretty sure it would fly

That's right, but it does mean there is a totally valid distinction between "authorizing" killings, and carrying them out yourself. The top level comment is blurring lines that shouldn't need to be blurred.

I wonder which of these images is the "realest". The definition of "real" that first jumps to mind is how closely the image reflects the mass of the bodies in the galaxy, but I also wonder if there are other thought-prov

X, Y, and Z were wrong! It really would be nice to get at least an abstract sense of what those problems were.

The path to innovation shouldn't need rails. Maybe what I'm trying looks pretty similar to things that have come before, but perhaps it's different in some way I understand and which a machine does not. Rather than a destruct

Blame TechCrunch for the blogspammy headline. The original Consumer Reports review states clearly that it scored a 103 based on their existing framework, which they adjusted in lieu of that fact. | In rating it, however, we faced a quandary

I think the problem with a loaded term like "over-engineering" is that you are assuming they haven't fully through their idea through, and that's why they don't see things your way. I've seen much better result

Fair point, and that's what you should have responded to the parent post with. Making an irrelevant remark about non-professional gamers came off as quite condescending.

There's really just one pair of coincidences: the wavelength of light most able to pass through water is that emitted by our sun. All the other statements are effected by that. And if the sun emitted another wavelength of light, perhap

Yes, now it is too late, since gTLDs have been rolled out in such a haphazard way. Right of first refusal on gTLDs should have been granted to the owner of the most highly trafficked domain (between .com, .org, .net, etc.), or worst case, b

I wonder if the license actually deactivates after 6 months, or if the creator simply added this term to limit his liability. Per jtreminio, he purchased two years ago and continues to have access. I bring this up because you could flip thi

Knowing they were in the midst of an on-again off-again relationship, Lane may have had a reasonable assumption that there was still an intention to continue the relationship, without Pao explicitly stating that she was interested in a seri

It could have been passed along as a returnUrl. Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence.

Each half of the statement makes sense on its own. Translation: We invented Office and windows. Since then, the world has become focused on mobile and cloud computing.
