How atrocious is this: George Clinton got sued for sampling his own music. If that's not a sign that the licensing system needs to be changed, I don't know what is.

I think so. Along with billiard and table tennis tables. I interned at Sun (R.I.P.) back in 2003 and their game tables were always full. I could challenge anyone, from fellow interns to managers to senior engineers, and get a game going. No

This makes a lot of sense. People who like ebooks, whether they own some sort of reader or just dont mind reading a book on their screens, are still a minority. However, if they read something and tell others about it, they're opinions and

Pretty interesting. It's the FastFlip of Google Reader. With FastFlip, you don't have as much choice as to the news they show so I guess they're going the same direction here with Reader Play

How is it an iPad knockoff? Also, can you call something a knockoff if it comes out before whatever-its-supposedly copying is released?

I read this and started immediately reminiscing of past jobs. No classes in my engineering curriculum prepared me for this so I didn't "get it" when I first started out. Did your schooling mention this sort of thing? If not, do you think th

I hated his latest album (808 and Heartbreak) and the one prior to that (Graduation) was mediocre, minus a hit or 2. But if you listen to his first two albums, "The College Dropout" and "Late Registration", and compare it to what was being

This piece emphasis music developing a child's mind but what about adults? Would learning to play guitar, piano or some other musical instrument result in clarified hearing?

Good question. Most advertise as helping you find a life partner or date, whereas this is blatantly advertising itself as a hookup site. But there are "adult friend" finding sites so this doesnt't really differ. I guess not.

Good food for thought. I'm just as guilty as the next guy when it comes to doing some of these. But seeing them written out like this makes it easier to keep a mental checklist of miserable habits unchecked

I second the bit about traveling. I relocated from Austin to San Francisco to Japan and with each move, I drastically reduced my lifestlye. It's just as PG said: you don't really miss anything. And I dealt with books by getting an e-reader

I currently live in rural Japan and when I first moved here, I went 2-3 weeks w/o a cell phone or internet. To be honest, it was torture. But it was self-imposed. When I finally (and eagerly) got back online, I saw that the world hadn't end
