Including Gentoo is wrong. Gentoo uses a slotted ebuild for python. You can have many concurrent versions running. Not only that, but the latest portage works fine on the latest 2.6 release of python. If you don't want to learn how to u

A group of people who find pedophilia funny vs. a group that is willing to ruin the lives of elderly and children to make more money. Somehow I just don't care what happens.

Open source has nothing to do with it. First of all, these devices ship with Google branding. There is licensing and restrictions involved. Secondly, I'm sure google owns the name "Android", much the way Mozilla owns the name Firefox. Y

There is nothing wrong with the App Store concept. There is a huge problem with locking down a device that is the property of the consumer. Adults can choose to only install apps from the App Store, and it may or may not be a good idea fo

I think the balance for Google is whether they fight Apple, or the carriers. Fighting the carriers will fight themselves out of existence. If they cater to the carriers, they can kill the iPhone. That doesn't mean I like it. Just as lock

I haven't used Debian in a few years, but from what I remember that is consistent with all Debian packages. If you need to compile against a lib, then you need the corresponding dev package. Should ruby be different?

I call that doing it wrong. When you are hiring, you need to promote the bonus as part of the salary, and make sure you pay most of it, even if tough times. You can skip the raise, but don't skip the bonus. That is penny-wise, pound fool

Good article, but this stuck out "Selling yourself, which sounds almost noble, is little more than manipulating other people to do what is good for you but might not be so good for others." That's bullshit. There are plenty of opportunitie

I think the bonus system can be very effective at preventing turn-over for the better part of the year. If you just hang on a few more months you get that big bonus!

This is a great description of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Although I haven't seen something define the mechanics of the relationship so well. The real question is, why would you want to keep people trapped in a failing system? It

What I find really funny is that a certain breed of fanboy applauded the restrictions in the first place, saying that they were needed. Yet I don't see anyone complaining now that the restriction is removed!

I think the correct approach is to release an update that adds a link to buy the paid version, and disables the app after a trial period. It should have been done this way to begin with, usually there are two version in market (free and pr

I think it would snap. It would take a tremendous amount of force to move it and no material could withstand that force.

It seems he is correct. If you imagine a laser pen light being swung on an angle, the further away the screen is, the faster the dot will "move". If the screen is sufficiently far away, the dot will appear to move faster then the speed of

Where was there at shot taken a Newton? AFAICT, he explains how Newton's theory addressed the problem, but there is no shot taken. I've never heard of such a problem as people taking shots at Newton..

My 8 yr old has been doing lpthw with some success. I'm partial to that method since I learned by typing basic listings in from books when I was a kid.

Looks like they collected SSID and MAC address info. It seems that they did nothing illegal, and I fail to see how it's even ethically wrong. They were simply mapping open wifi.

The whole article seems to be more of a style argument then a complexity argument. It presents the false dichotomy that things that are simple to operate, must have less controls. There is no reason why you can't have all the controls an

You may be on a machine that doesn't have screen installed and it may be quicker to use job control then install it. There is something to be said for travelling light.

I don't like that he mentions music. Music should be about self expression and not competition. It is rewarding, even if you suck at it, and most real musicians would never put someone down for not having fully developed skills, but ins

I'm not trying to besnarky, but why even use a MAC. It seems like Linux is a better fit and less expensive. MAC is really about the UI, and if you don't take advantage of that you are just left with an almost Unix environment.

Why do people think that the 1st amendment gives you the right to say anything you want without consequence. It only gives you the right to say whatever you want without LEGAL consequence. It is a very important distinction. You have the
