Pointing out the long-term benefits of something without acknowledging either the long-term or short-term(which aren't really short-term if you continue to use it in the long term, but simply take effect sooner) costs doesn't justify any co

Google Voice doesn't compete with AT&T any more than a VOIP provider that you use via your DSL or cable internet competes with your ISP. They provide different services, and the one you are arguing competes with the telephone carrier or

Google Voice doesn't offer phone functionality(with the exception of SMS). It offers bidirectional phone call forwarding functionality. The price isn't the real issue. The difference in functionality is. Edit: I was less clear than I meant

by ekiru 17y ago
The critical question here is "Is a call-forwarding service the same as a telephone provider?" Google has no cell phone towers or phone lines. When you call someone with Google Voice this happens: 1. Google calls the number you're calling

If I were the owner of the gmail account in question, and I were planning to sell or otherwise misuse the bank's customers' information, I would certainly reply to the bank and claim to have deleted the file. In fact, I would actually delet

I'm not entirely sure how machine code(or LLVM bytecode, if you'd prefer) produced by a program written in ML is at all inferior to the same machine code(actually, probably less optimized machine code, given that ML is a high level language

It mentions that those languages tend to have added operators(like backreferences) to regular expressions that make matching them NP-complete.

In fact, some psychology textbooks(at least in high school) affirmatively claim that females are more tentative than males in all situations. This research seems to disprove that. It's useful to disprove untrue things that were formerly bel

Yes, but is Evernote currently worth using as an example of how to make a profit? I don't think so.

by ekiru 17y ago
The whole point of the article is that Evernote is not making money and aren't even expected to break even until 2011.

Was your use of an acronym for three letter acronym that is ambiguous and could refer to two letter acronyms, three letter acronyms, or even three-hundred letter acronyms intentional?

Although I agree with the article's overall idea, his example of Okami and Legend of Zelda as games with totally different ideas and similar game mechanics is a horrible example. Okami's game mechanics are quite different from Zelda's.

Are you saying that the answer to the question is "No."? How is that true? Consider the set: {3, 4, 5}. 3 is coprime to both 4 and 5. Am I misunderstanding the question?

I never said that this was a joke, funny, not vandalism, or even not a horrible thing to do. Your example of a person losing their job over this is a good argument that harm can result from this kind of vandalism. However, I do think there

While I think that breaking into people's stuff and vandalizing it is horrible, in the specific cases I've seen(such as the one in the article), no actual harm is done. All the victim has to do is change their password and inform people tha

That's a different question. It's similar, but the situations aren't really the same. Developing a desktop app that runs on multiple OSes either involves using something like Gtk and probably having a noticeably non-native app on at least s
