I think it's really funny that his hands are still brown.

I think there is also a time limit. Like 200 karma in the last yr or something.

Yes, I don't feel the need to down mod, but was just curious.

Why can't I down mod?

I hate to post because it's an invasion of privacy. And I'm ashamed that I've dug this deep. But I couldn't help worrying. I can't help but think others feel the same way. I won't post anything else about him, ever if this is right. I

He most certainly IS Jonathan Gillette. Just do an archive.org search on his websites. Around 2004 he changes from Jonathan Gillette to Why the Lucky Stiff.

The only thing that really bothers me about what _why did is that he killed all the mailinglists without warning. I happen to know that there were a lot of teachers on the Shoes mailing list trying to use shoes to teach kids to code. It

It's so easy to judge someone without walking in their shoes. You (and I) have no idea what this person is going through emotionally. He could have some serious problems.

It's so easy to judge people without being in their shoes. There are a million reasons why it would be ok to disappear.

I'm on the shoes mailing list and he recently made this announcement: Aug 3rd: <quote> Okay, wow, hello, I'm very behind on this list, I hope you will pardon me. I've been away for the summer, taking a break from everything. Well, e

Is it just me, or does the concept of "near speed of light" not make any sense? I was under the impression that light travels at a constant speed no matter how you are moving. And also, since there are no absolute coordinates, the concept

And this is the main point that makes time travel in movies completely unbelievable to me. According to the theory or relativity, there are no absolute coordinates. And even if their were, is earth the center of the universe that stands s

Does MS have a history of patent abuse? AFAIK they don't. They talk about it a lot, but I don't think they actually engage much. I hate MS as much as the next Linux loving commie, but this is stupid.

I think men are much more in tune. So much so, that we pick up signals that aren't really there.

I think most men wait for a social cue from the woman before approaching her. Maybe this woman needs to throw out some signals to some men that she is attracted to. Most men only need the slightest encouragement to feel safe from bad reje

I don't trust this software much. Most enterprise software I've dealt with requires at least two paid consultants to install and configure. "gem install enterprise" ? Are you kidding? This is kids stuff. A few other concerns: * No rea (

I should also say I believe everyone should have equal access to education, but anyone who can't see how this benefits society as a whole isn't worth arguing with. The only valid argument for non-equal access is pure selfishness and compet

We act as if most of our tax money goes to poor people. That just isn't the case. This entire argument is a lie on it's face. I don't think anyone seriously thinks we should all be equal financially, only that people deserve health care,

It's not well advertised, but Genshi is great at python based markup. It's mostly meant for inserting things into streams, but I could easily see it being adapter for full python markup. http://genshi.edgewall.org/wiki/ApiDocs/genshi.buil

Statistics like this are just as silly as "Employees using YouTube costs the US 500 Trillion a year". Most knowledge workers don't work 9-5. They work until the work is done. What they missed Monday morning will be made up for during the

I agree. For the IRC folks, I think contacting the police and his family was appropriate. I don't think anything further then that is appropriate or helpful. Everything after that is just gossip. I'd be interested to hear how the OP fee

I would guess that clipping is being used to "even" out the volume, similar to compression. Maybe the pop crowd perfers the clipping sound.

The market is changing from: create something and try to sell it, to: get paid to create something. This has always been the case for programmers that work for a product company. They agree to a price(their salary) before implementing the
