This was covered here a couple of days ago - it's per browser session rather than per browser, and almost certainly just a case of A/B testing in the wild.

It is technically possible to make a book 2 metres wide. There's a reason why we don't.

'PDF goodness' is a purely theoretical concept, IMHE. I'll not use any of my time testing that belief ever again, but would love to be able to abandon it... fingers crossed.

There were a few of these knocking around just before the last UK elections... you answered 30-odd questions about your political views, and the site then rates your agreement with each party's policies.

In my case specifically, and in a wider scope too (IMHO), the limit is removing the barrier of having to explain in any detail. Forcing me to post the TLDR version of what I want to say encourages me to make the effort much more often.

On a positive note, I didn't need to read the description to know what it was going to be. On a possibly negative note, it came across calling 99% of the internet worthless crap that hinders the finding of anything worthwhile. Whether that'

In Rainbows being a failure is the recording industry's spin and, as usual, once you stop taking the cherry-picked data at face value and look at the big picture, you find the complete opposite is true: http://techdirt.com/articles/2008101

No, pricing is fine, it's just that the anti-piracy brigade get more airtime than the validity of their arguments merit... as has been demonstrated ad nauseum by experiments such as this. It's almost as if they know damned well that their r

I wish there was more explanation for the "never use a false identity" bullet point. Your real identity is out, surely? Does this mean avoid having to use an identity at all? What if you're forced? (pulled over, etc.)

I hate that reasoning, it's a cheap trick to use a false dichotomy to make yourself a paradox. The green apple is not in support of the first rule, it is just not invalidating it. It is neutral, rather than confirmative or invalidatory. Say

Have these clowns never heard of redundancy? Did these clowns not think to fix/replace a system that had, quote, "been seizing up for weeks"? or stop anything risky until it was sorted?

What were the estimates based on? Were they specific to your business, or just to your type of business? Can you refine them from the original/related resources at all? There's a balance to be had between fuzziness in estimates, and specifi

I'll defer to the inquiry as to how executive his chairmanship was, but you're right, I was writing off his argument due to something other than the argument itself, to my discredit.

I hope not - I like computers to give me answers that have been calculated to be correct, rather than just what it has managed to convince itself is true.

While it proves nothing, I have had the misfortune to have met a couple of people who act almost identically to the everyday Edhouse, and, on an off-day, exactly like the rather more extreme Edhouse as presented by Thorne. The two personali

Seeing the list of people who are endorsing this book and its concepts, and how influential those people are, is the most depressing thing I've come across all year. Geraldine Quinn says it best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_1HtfVfgOQ
