"citing". Some general principles, especially about human behaviour are ignored at your peril.

Ageing is nature's way of making way for the young. If we cured ageing there would be more motivation to suppress new births, and then people like you and I might never have come along.

The PR industry say that PR adds value, but then they would, wouldn't they?

Odd use of the word "competent", you implying Apple personnel aren't competent because they didn't send a message saying "thank you" with gold stars all over it?

It used to be a golden rule for investors that they should see signs of needless ostentation (e.g. a fountain in reception, limos for all executives) as a danger signal. Excuse the pun but making a film about yourself does not send out a go

Maybe they downvoted you because you are parading your lack of attention span (or perhaps your lack of comprehension). To use terms like "fools" or "bait and switch" when you really meant "tl;dr" or "why aren't there more pictures" is more

Depriving others of revenue IS theft. If the terms of use for a service or product require payment then any use without payment is, in effect, theft. These juvenile justifications are how 13-year olds comfort themeselves about their behavio

The missed expectations were held by fanboy contributors to MacRumors and the equally witless anti-fanboys (fandroids for the most part) who chimed in with "Ha! No new case after 18 months? Lame! Fail!" Perhaps the buyers were at the end of

Somewhat padded article. I wonder if SQL Server actually provides a facility to parse your SQL and highlight deprecated features. The runtime counters are handy but only count features which are executed so you can't guarantee to catch ever

She was famously flat broke, I doubt she could have borrowed money or done any of the other things to get traction. What she got from her publisher was marketing, contacts, distribution of review copies ... (it certainly wasn't editing). Bi

That was done as a reaction to Oracle, if OpenOffice becomes viable again and gains traction it can change back. LibreOffice's staying power depends on how much of their effort was simply "sticking it to Oracle", if they get bored and fade

Amazon is an old-fashioned monopolist. When dealing with these beasts they are your friend until it is more profitable for them not to be. JK Rowling does not require Amazon but Amazon will never produce another JK Rowling because they will

If you really didn't care about being fat you wouldn't even post. The rest is rationalisation, I mean why hang on 'til 50? Go for it, emulate Hendrix, or Joplin, live fast, die at 27. Health issues typically kick in just after 30 ..

I think the photograph idea gives a hint (though is unlikely to be unique), say there was a picture of the Queen/President in some recognisable location in their office. They could be asked, "where is the xxx standing in the portrait in you

Steve Jobs is in the headline, so hardly off-topic. Perhaps anti-apple-fanboyism knows no bounds.

The older I get the less tolerant I get of wild-eyed zealots like this. This sloganizing reminds me of the Mao days when lots of impressionable youths would wave the little red book and unthinkingly chant extracts, this is really no differe

I think that was the vice-president. What is shocking is that in another survey, some 40% of Americans asked didn't know who or what the Taliban were.

An affectation really (like wearing a bow-tie). "I'm so important I can't even be bothered to think about what ice cream I want", if true probably done just to be the subject of an anecdote.

Apologies for the incivility. I disagree, the only thing in Laurie's comment as presented is elitist superiority, by quoting it Norvig evidently agrees with that attitude "why are you wasting your time doing that when you could write a pro

What a [deleted] comment by Laurie. Does he really imagine people solve Sudoku puzzles just to get the answer and because they are too stupid to look at the solved answer? Do we have any other insights from these people [edited]? Perhaps wh
