More harmful than the "Haskell shell"? ;) http://code.haskell.org/shsh/ And I imagine a BF shell ( http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/bf/ ) would be pretty bad. Unfortunately, I can't find one.

Blockbuster didn't fail because they didn't get into the online model fast enough. Blockbuster failed because of their pricing/fees model and lack of selection and business model. Netflix's business model is incredibly smart. Even before th

Wow. If this was really from Jobs, that is unbelievably bad for him and Apple. I think everyone knew Jobs had this type of personality, but his recent screw-ups with this and the handling of the "antenna issue" (saying that people are holdi

Thanks! There are a number of things I'm thinking of doing, and I've made a number of steps, but steps in research and talking about all of it don't leave me feeling like I've made much progress. I think I need a plan, but to have a plan, I

It read a little bit like a story I would have written in a fiction writing class in university. Just a little too smooth of a story for someone recounting what really happened. Even if it is a hoax, though- it's a great story, and I applau

Great stuff. Another alternative is to go "classic" and use only older technology that is less network enabled. For example: Buy a used mobile phone (from eBay) that just allows you to make calls and at most text without additional charges.
