I have too much stuff. Most people in America do. In fact, the poorer people are, the more stuff they seem to have. Hardly anyone is so poor that they can't afford a front yard full of old cars. Wow, Paul, you really don't understand what

My guess, no one thinks she was making fun of retarded people and everyone knows she was making fun of Sarah Palin and her campaign to neuter the english language.

The script syntax is less intuitive than javascript and doesn't save that many lines, so I'm not sure it's something I'd ever use.

Funny that they expect a contest partially judged by a gaming organization, which is also arguably one of the shadiest money makers on the web, to produce anything of social value. Not only are the people making the decisions not concerned

I've had clients ask me a question and say, "I don't want to know how, just if it is possible?" and I suppose because I think they think it is really hard, I just tell them how to do it, it's like 2 clicks. But then half an hour later the

Yep, that's right, that's true too. If you type "Jury trial" into bing, it #2's "in civil cases" and for that you get: U.S. Constitution extend the rights to trial by jury to include the right to jury trial for both criminal and

Sorry, I deleted that without knowing you were composing a reply. Metaphysical. I guess we are at that edge with metaphysics where we know there's a lot out there we don't know and we have to decide if we want to investigate it or not. I

Sometimes, in conversations with others, I hear them say with complete confidence stuff that I know is total crap. It's like I just can't get over how absolutely wrong they are and yet how absolutely right they believe they are. So I sta

If Google gave employees even just 20% of profits generated from the products they build or prototype, that system would fully work for everyone.

What if Google just starts buying stuff for you and having it shipped to your house. You can opt-out once it arrives -- if you can figure out the RMA process...

OT: Is there a literary term for the situation where something's greatest strength is also that thing's greatest weakness? Like an Achilles heel, except the Achilles heel isn't also a strength. It applies here, because the 140 char limit

yep, that's exactly what i think too. Google needs real time search and the best way to do that is to have the data on their lightning machines. If it's not on their lightning machines, then the content owner (twitter, facebook, etc) is th

it's common knowledge that many juries have ruled in favor of plaintiffs and defendants in lots of civil cases. No one needs to cite anything for this.

What are the benefits? Why couldn't they just have a lightbox appear that says, "Yay! We've invented google buzz, here's a list of people we gathered from your frequent contacts in gmail. Click the check boxes by the people you want to i

If you are certain that this was absolutely predictable, you are implying either: a) The Google Buzz people are so stupid that they couldn't have predicted this absolutely predictable thing (no one else did that I know of until it bit them)

It's probably selection bias. It's easy to find people you want to find on the internet, but look around you in the real world. If you aren't in silicon valley, it's very difficult to find entrepreneurs and it's even harder to find them o

I think this is an excellent move. I used Opera for a long time, but found it to be too buggy so I stopped and DragonFly takes a long time to load and isn't as good as FireFly, so I just stopped using Opera, but I do like it.

It's a disservice to the article to retitle the post from the author's original. This is the best advice: "Tenacity is impressive." Just keep at it and keep doing stuff and eventually, you'll be on your own with money coming in and that's

When I was in college, I went to the career center looking for a job. I had my resume all spiffy and on it was a startup I had been working on in college. The recruiter asked why I didn't pursue the startup idea and I said, "I need to pay t

I'll start using Google adwords when they let me pay only for clicks that result in a conversion. They have the technology, put it to use. I'll come write it myself and then pay for the adwords, but I won't pay for adwords until they enab

I wonder if, when a company crosses a threshold we all think violates a Nash equilibrium, we start to oppose the company. With this move, Google is declaring war on a host of web companies that are heretofore thriving and collaborating a

This is to be expected from an abstraction layer. WordPress hosting is really a lot of abstraction layers that facilitate communication between bloggers and communities and it does a lot of that. One of the things wordpress hosting abstrac

I'm not sure the tone is appropriate. This happens at every layer of the stack. Entire ecosystems evolve around hosting software systems from laying the wires between cities to comment hosting services. Really, who better to maintain it

The video of the product looks great, so I go to edit one of the examples and choose "Import to Vector Editor" and then a window loads asking me to install Adobe Flash 10 and I think to myself, why on earth would anyone create an Adobe Crea

I can relate to this post quite a bit. During the dot com boom, I worked as a consultant to quite a few startups. All of them have since disappeared, but all were great ideas that would have survived had they not need to be immensely popul
