Google Docs has no relation to OpenOffice iirc. The word processor came from writely and the spreadsheets was some other company's source code, the rest was just extensions on that.

Also http://haxe.org/ which was originally inspired by OCaml (iirc) and complies to JavaScript, Flash, NekoVM, PHP, C++ and C#. It's pretty cool.

http://www.reddit.com/r/somebodymakethis is something close that is a little more active.

There is also http://www.reddit.com/r/somebodymakethis which from reading these has at least some overlap.

You seem to have missed the point made that real cold medicine is only so effective anyway with some potential side effects. So for some people a placebo would actually be better.

I think many would disagree with you on your definition of what makes a time 'warlike'. I think proportions involved in war would make a lot more sense than absolute numbers. I found this talk very interesting on a similar topic: http://ww

I read that he wanted someone to take the bet with. As in he wanted someone who disagreed so they could stake money on the outcome.

Really enjoyed some of that. Thanks.

Whatever happened, I am disappointed they are going to part ways. I think that vice reporting on his life would have been very interesting.

by glomph 14y ago
I think you have to acknowledge that vice magazine is written with a certain amount of irony intended.

Oh of course. I just think it is interesting how the game aspect is used for leverage.

Oh I know that it all existed before, I am just commenting on how prevalent it is and how much it is built in by design. To be honest I think you are slightly out of date in thinking torrent sites are just the 'retail' level. The majority o

Power is not a zero-sum game. Some restrictions of power/rights enable more power/freedom than they take away. This is obvious. The restriction (or convention, but I think the point still stands) to drive on a particular side of the road al

Private torrent trackers are also fuelled by this drive. The 'game' abstraction has been made so real with ranks, stats, leaderboards and so on. It really is quite amazing how willing people are to sink time into providing a service, modera

Of course Petraeus could not exactly have installed tor and started visiting hushmail.org without instantly being considered suspect.

by glomph 14y ago
Shouldn't you always be using pgp anyway? Its not like you should trust someone like hushmail either.

How was that in the end? I got the impression that by the time it was out it was almost irrelevant, given how far everything else had advanced.

Its bad if the law states that it isn't allowed and the other candidates are following this law.

In some specific cases it is the preferred system. For example editing a comment.

Can you imagine if there was a comment like this in response to every article about how terrible the United States is in terms of Human Rights Issues saying 'We have to remember that the United States doesn't really live up to First World

Because everyone else in the business is still paying a special additional tax? If you disagree with that, you have to fight to change it for everyone. You don't just start competing without paying the same taxes as everyone else.

I am shocked you would actually try and make that argument about a whole country of people and still have the guts to call someone criticising the Israeli government antisemetic . What possible moral high ground do you have now?

by glomph 14y ago
The thing is it isn't a choice we are making now. It was made over 400 years ago and it works.

There are actually strong reasons to think ambiguity in certain cases is an asset in a language not a hindrance. This talk goes into it in part: http://www.ted.com/talks/steven_pinker_on_language_and_thoug...

I really don't think an article like this belongs on this site. The only discussion is going to be hate vs. hate. Nothing about innovation, technology, start ups or anything close.

You are outdated to the extent that you would have been behind the times in the 1680s where the word was already being used to mean 'what follows must be taken in the strongest admissible sense'.

LAME, FLAC and x264 all won in a sense.
