The last time this was tried, it was called "Aquariums: Project Uprising" or something equally ridiculous, and consumed several million dollars before it was revelealed to be (duh) a very well-hyped scam.

All we have to do is convince Google that a space race means more advertising opportunities, convince Microsoft that there are aliens who will buy MS Word, Twitter that there are hubris opportunities, and Facebook that there are beings on m

Is NASA even relevant anymore? Build a business model that makes space travel profitable. Don't rely on the government to do it, because they'll do an incompetent job of it at 10,000x the cost that private enterprise can do it for.

Interesting. This is completely different from the hyped up CAHSRA plan about 6 months ago that was saying "high speed raiL" when what they really meant was "catching up on existing track maintenance"

Your company doesn't waste 15 hours a week, you do. If you weren't commuting, would you work an extra 15 hours per week? That's 15 hours of your life that you're losing, not 15 hours of productivity.. But otherwise, I do agree with you.

I do wonder how important the highway system is to our economy. It used to be a great boon to commerce because we made a lot of goods and needed to get them to other regions, and to ports for export. Now we import everything, and the highwa

I absolutely dispute our armed forces as "essential government services" in it's current incantation, especially the TRILLION DOLLARS of our federal tax money that has been used to fight two needless wars in order to increase oil profits.

Don't you get the feeling that Apple is trying to phase our their OS X model towards a more iphone-like ecosphere where they can own everything? I do.

The real evil I see with Apple is the App Store. It's very anti-competitive. Since you can only sell ipod/ipad applications through their store, they own a monopoly on it. This is problematic because it's a model that will never allow any

They're just going to go through the ICANN arbitration process and take it. They've done it to countless domains in the past.

It connects you to the internet. It plays music. My 3 year old daughter has a $100 piece of plastic that does both of those functions.

You are all very, very good little consumers. And Apple doesn't even have to pay you for generating it's hype.

Massive budget deficits, gross mis-management, fraud, MURDER, etc have all come together to ruin BART's reputation and make them an embarrassment to California government. This is just another attempt at fixing their ruined image until the

I'm assuming that there's a set of functions for shooting innocent but rowdy civilians in the back, while they're handcuffed and on the ground face-down?

At the scale of a small-time investor, you must pay your damn debts. But do you feel that holds true going up the food chain? GM will never have to repay all of it's debts that were coerced out of the american public against our will. The b

The tablet is an iteration on the iphone. This is direct from a friend at apple.

by dnsworks 17y ago
So the story is: Apple has a lot of money, and is iterating something and calling it a new product?

I cannot help but feel that we deserve better than to be PR tools for large corporations. Is Apple's rumored tablet really worth the geekgasms that people are having about it? Google's PR machine has been far, far grander than the reality o

Personally I'd go with Softlayer. They have a stellar track record, and great pricing. Just like anywhere else, however, don't take their web pricing as law, but call them up and talk to them about your business. If you really want to buy h

I've watched it several times, it's a great video. I've just heard several stories now (often when asking admin friends if they watched it) of developers using it as an excuse for bad behavior, cherry picking a couple of points.

The negative side-effect is that people tend to take what they want from presentations, and present them as fact or proof of best practices. Since this presentation, I know systems administrators at a number of rather poorly engineered, but

Ironically I know a handful of Europeans & Australians who are working on tanking their 2nd & 3rd US-based VC-backed startups. I wonder if that's because they're un-fundable back home now.

Once you've failed at one VC-backed startup, it's usually fairly easy to get funding for an infinite string of other failed VC-backed startups. I have quite a few friends with no less than 1/2 dozen startups under their belts over the past
