> way less spam; That is exactly why I love DDG. I almost never get spam, but the fact that you want to make it even better is so awesome. Seriously, DDG's killer feature is a founder interacts with the users.

I second the Kinesis suggestion. I bought one for myself and my work just bought me one. Best Keyboard Ever.

I don't think it's the downloading anyone objects to.

Can someone explain to me why people keep referring to "Real-Time" chat? I've seen it multiple times and don't understand why... How is this in anyway different from just... chat. Is this some sort of buzzword bingo?

It's a bit comparing apples to oranges. If you were comparing say Cake or Zend to RoR and Django then it would be a reasonable comparison.

Personally, I think Ping failed because Apple threw a party and no one cared.

Well that's a huge bonus! Wish you shipped to the US. I'd buy some tea from you!

Minimum wage laws are there to prevent employees from being paid peanuts. They don't apply to the self-employed.

That would be what you call, a terrible job.

Sparks isn't like shared circles as I understand. They just bring up articles on selected topics to be used as conversation starters. I like the idea but I think the implementation of sparks is a bit rubbish. I think Twitter does a better j

Crap. Now I need to go buy some legos and relive my childhood.

I agree. It's not about creating groups of people to communicate with. It's about classifying how you think about people. The fact that circles are private is very important and keeps people getting mad because they are not in your "bestest

You know, it didn't dawn on me until just now where the name circles come from.

I'm... so confused. This doesn't actually seem to have anything to do with android and everything to do with AdSense.

It's not at all an analogous situation. You're talking about offending people with the name of a package you wrote. This is talking about offending the person who originally wrote the package by suggesting a name, the connotations of which

That makes me more upset than the original story.

Arg! I misread the title as "Why Yo-Yo Ma won't use Google+..." Interesting article anyway. I've heard more than one person say that people aren't going to switch from Facebook. As someone who doesn't use Facebook... I think I might actuall

I'm a little confused about what he's been accused of here. Are they saying he cut and pasted code from other chess bots? Or that he examined other chess bots and used the ideas they implemented? Or...? What exactly do they mean by plagiari

Interesting to me that they don't use a wildcard cert though.

I'm a little confused. "We actually like this company..." So why did they do this? I'd think the thing to do after finding an exploit would be to notify who has it and give them a reasonable amount of time to correct the problem. I think I'

All the Editors Notes were sort of irritating. "We've got a guest blogger today! We think he's the cats pajamas but that's not gonna stop us from butting in to get our two cents!" Seriously. Write a follow article next time. This editorial

Seriously? Do you have an article that talks about game consoles in a library?

I know this will never change, but I really wish people would stop using lisp as a synonym for common lisp. CL is not the only lisp.

Yes. I take license violation very seriously. Imagine if Apple was violating a Microsoft license in this way. They'd be sued in a heart beat. Companies need to realize the (L)GPL is serious. It's not something you can just ignore because it
