Simple question for the new delicious: How can I sort my bookmarks by # of people who have also bookmarked them? I want to see which of my bookmarks are most popular or least popular.

In the long term, we are all walking dead men and women, at least in this life. What makes us live is whether we get down to the business of living or not. Professor Pausch embraced life and lived it to its fullest. The proof is in the pudd

Not entirely. But most message boxes acted as modal interfaces for non-modal tasks, making them incredible annoying. Good riddance. However, message boxes still have a place when dealing with the rare modal task. Back in 1995, Alan Cooper

On the other hand, throw a perfectly successful jungle inhabitant into the middle of Harvard and he might also fare rather badly. To the contrary, I think the denizens of Harvard might fare badly, not the perfectly successful jungle inhab

Suppose climate change is real. What do we do about it? Massive centralization and government control? Or free-market based solutions, based on: 1. restoring individual property rights, 2. re-classifying pollution as trespass rather than nu

One-line summary: If people offer you money for doing something you love, and you take it, you can earn money; if you don't take it, you won't earn money; therefore: take the money.

I ask because I currently have about 100 feeds in Google Reader; most of them update fairly infrequently. I try to only subscribe to feeds that have full text, since I dislike excerpts because I have to open a new tab. That said, I try to

I'd recommend using WordPress and writing a custom plugin. You can write reviews as normal posts and just include your custom code in the review, e.g. "[software iSaber] iSaber is great because it lets me embrace my inner Jedi." The [soft

Ack! Best of luck deflecting the lawsuit. Hopefully it won't be too hard, as there are so many other defendants. Lawsuits like this make me glad I'm a law student, so I can graduate and fight against them. voo2do is a great service; I us
