why do PDF's have [scribd] in the link? It has nothing to do with scribd. Wouldn't [pdf] be better?

That's a neat graph engine. I'll look into it and see if I can use something like that. Thanks.

I thought it would be a good chance to test out the accuracy. The airline's website had been updated, so I know the information was "out there" about the flight status. I know you are using predictive algorithms, but you may also try to g

You know, the funny thing about flightcaster. I was in the airport and my flight was cancelled. 2 hours later, I checked flightcaster and it said the flight was on time! If you can't tell when a flight really is cancelled 2 hours after the

The founders of Google were visionaries who understood the humanity involved in any large organization. The very slogan was introduced to help them remember not to do bad things when they get big. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked out that

It is. When I started a company and got customers who depend on me, I started driving slower. I stopped taking the kinds of risks I used to take. I even worry, briefly, when I go skiing.

c'mon, get real. Do you really think there are people out there looking for Cessnas flying around shooting them down if there are EV execs on board? What did they do? Shoot a missile through the fog? Take it down with a privately owned F

And a lot of those commercials are for trade schools teaching welding, health care instrument management (mri, phlebotomy, nuclear)... Not traditional universities, so the unis, which are much more expensive than those schools, are really

Universities are there to get you a job. In fact, it's part of their marketing strategy. In technical curricula, nearly every decision they make is based around predictions of future job growth. It is a very real problem right now, beca

This is tragic. Very sorry to hear it. As an intern, I worked for a company and found in the employee manual that there were explicit restrictions on the number of execs who could be on the same plane or even in the same car! I thought it

If the .gv compilation was in javascript, it would be a complete solution. That's a project i'd be willing to commit some time to.

donating $2M is not doing no evil. If donating money to a nonprofit unevils you, then why do people still claim microsoft / bill gates are evil? They've donated billions to charity. If this is your metric, then Google is way more evil tha

it'll probably take more than a week to switch to a new video vault. You have to update links and move a lot of stuff. Depending on how locked-in the customers are, it could take quite a bit longer than a week to move. But yes, you're rig

I'm skeptical anyone would buy a company the founders just want to ditch. Why aren't they saying they'll work for the acquirer for a year? Without that, figuring out how all the code works and how the infrastructure is arranged will be ve

Has this actually happened? If so, it's the toaster company's fault for not wrapping the toaster box in a EULA that explicitly absolves the manufacturer of any damage caused by use of the toaster, proper or not.

Humans are evil. The CRU is full of humans. The CRU is full of evil. QED. It's not just the CRU. Any large organization like the CRU should be held with extreme skepticism. Members make lots of money off grants to study climatological

Who makes the final decision: Ultimately it's the Director gets to decide Huh? ONE person gets to decide the future of the web? Who is the director? Tim Berners-Lee. Whew. I highly doubt TBL is going to let Adobe ruin the web.

So then don't use a mailing list or make it possible for everyone to read the list, but not contribute to it. Why can myriad algorithms and websites exist that successfully filter noise and the organization that is controlling the direc

If you are involved in advertising, marketing, and branding at all, you begin to realize that advertising is really taking all the weaknesses of a product and making them strength of the product. So, with Google, the engineers realize that

Well, Google is above the law. In fact, lots of large corporations are above the law. Politicians are above the law. What this google case does more than anything is support the idea of the decline of a nation of laws. We are no longer a

You're making too many assumptions. Who says they are sitting on the money? Who says they didn't spend it on rent and salaries when they didn't have any other money coming in? Maybe they spent it on publishing their book or adwords or of

Opera used to be great, but with the latest release, I find web sessions terminate prematurely and the browser crashes a lot. I switched back to firefox.
