Really? I kind of like a thread full of 'bah, it'll never happen' nay-sayers being immediately contradicted by the link they're commenting on.

Here in Amsterdam we have something similar (a button that doesn't push-in) but they're made of plastic, work with gloves, and light up when they're pressed.

Yes, but just because everyone at the company didn't decide to do this in unison, doesn't mean that the "company" isn't 100% completely responsible for it. If the "VP level" at MS doesn't have enough control to prevent an entire department

"Everyone else is doing it" is hardly a spectacular decision making strategy. Just because something is popular, doesn't mean it's important to your business model. Twitter can be a powerful tool for some, but for others its still just a t

You should really check out this website, which I love with all my Dutch-learning heart. http://www.mijnwoordenboek.nl/ "Slim" isn't a very good example for that dictionary, but check out something with a lot of possible EN-NL translation

good lord, there's hot wires just hanging out all over the place No there's not. There's one hot (exposed) plug which is only exposed while you plug it into the power strip. There's another hot plug which is only exposed when you unplug

I'm learning Dutch, and it's even worse. Really basic, commonly used words aren't there. Good dictionaries are hard to build. At the same time, the web isn't constrained by space the same way a physical book is, which means that a resul

There are two laws. They seem to conflict with each other. They both speak to acts that many, many normal people (as well as bootleggers) engage in and/or wish to engage in. Several people have tried to get clarification, but to no avail

Indeed. They're a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Honestly, everything I've ever seen with regard to Arrington or TC has been surrounded in "drama" and hype, both things I'd rather simply avoid. I truly don't understand the appeal, but I'm curious... Are there any hackers out there who th

I think these kinds of harsh reviews are where a video would really come in handy. Mostly because it seems like it's almost too horrible to believe. Also (though fanboys will never truly accept the problems) it's just too easy for them to

Unlike coal, biomass is carbon-neutral, releasing only the carbon dioxide that the plants had absorbed in the first place. Um... What? Coal is also "releasing only the carbon dioxide that plants had absorbed in the first place". It's a q

What about research that isn't successfully commercialized? It just sits there until the patent expires... If someone gives you money to conduct research or develop a product, it's completely reasonable to expect that they will want to p

Research should that's publicly funded should be given back to the public. To put it another way, the public should, as a condition of giving out money to researchers, require that the results of that research belong to the public. If the

How can the system help those who are disadvantaged while not indirectly encouraging people to be financially irresponsible? I'm going to take a potentially unpopular opinion here, but I think that a public system of education shouldn't

I think that his point is not that it's an unholy practice, but more so that, for general consumers, Black Friday isn't what it's portrayed to be. It's one thing if a family wants to hop down to the local Best Buy after thanksgiving to see

I think this is how they make those "dippin' dots" ice cream (which i love oh so much). My guess would be that you would have to drizzle the (pretty watery) mixture into a pool of liquid N. I guess it would just burn off after a while and

Saw this over at proggit, I'll cross-post my thoughts here too (edited because you answered some Q's over there): * There's a delay, which may make someone think it's broken when first testing it (edit: you mentioned it's temporary, for loa

Great, thanks. Hmmm, I wonder if you'll even see this when I delete the parent article, or if it will be like this conversation never happened.... Here goes!

I also read this as one of the most important points in the article. I wonder if requiring insurance companies to accept all customers, regardless of risk or pre-existing conditions, would create incentives for insurers to promote more prev

This is an amazing article :) I can never get my eggs that way (to be fair to myself, I don't cook too often). Sunday morning is going to rock this weekend, though!

I was surprised that, after having DSL problems, my not-very-technical friend cracked 5 APs in his area in less than a day. Now, I can do this, as can some of my geek friends, but the fact that this guy easily did it was pretty amazing to

Actually, since I've moved to the Netherlands I've only used GIROs a handful of times, since the NL has an even better option. GIRO Transfers are particularly handy when it comes to recurring transfers, but for one time payments they're ann

Chat happens so much faster, and both parties stay engaged instead of drifting away while they wait. What's wrong with drifting away? :) This will sound cocky, but: I'm multitasking chat conversations simultaneously, can type fast, and c
