Fentimans is superb. Their Curiosity Cola is amazing, and their tonic water when mixed with Hendricks makes for one hell of a Gin and Tonic!

My point is that we would have to reduce our standards of living in order to stay in the Bay Area, even with two good incomes from a stable company. The costs of housing and raising a family were simply out of bounds with what we wanted to

While some of the article just seems like nostalgic yearning, I agree that it's not necessarily the best place to start a company. My wife and I were making a very good income at Google but still found ourselves wondering how we would ever

Whatever outcome may result over time, I'm happy for the people of Egypt. Once again, the desire to be free eventually overwhelms the arbitrary tyranny of a dictator. It will certainly be interesting to see if this leads to a domino effect

Perhaps they meant 360TB, 4TB per machine?

Not there for me. Looks like a slow roll out.

Indeed, it's the same company behind eHow.com and other SEO spam. I'm frankly a bit surprised that Lance Armstrong's organization would partner with such a company. Here's an excellent Wired article about Demand Media: http://www.wired.com

It's about time. I love this blog but stopped reading it when they went to the NYT and stopped providing a full RSS feed. That was years ago!

Lots of personal decisions have negative effects on those around you. That's not a rational reason to make all of those actions illegal.

The government doesn't "allow" free people (those not in prison, psychiatric hospitals, etc.) to commit suicide; they are free to do so if they choose. Prevention is orthogonal to what I'm talking about. In fact, I'm all for helping those f

It should come as no surprise that the right answer is treating drug addiction and substance abuse like medical conditions rather than legal ones. The idea that the government should regulate what I choose to put in my own body is preposter

Ah yes, saving data onto a cassette tape. My parents purchased an Atari 1200XL in the early 80s and when I was about five years old, I quickly hijacked it to play games and eventually learn how to write code. For the longest time I wondered

While the article doesn't exactly present a credible conclusion, given the family's rather high expenses and savings rate, it does ask a valid question: What is rich? If $250k a year is not rich, what is? Where did $250k come from anyway? W
