Libertarian I'd guess. I don't recall entrepreneurs being restricted over the past decade or so. In fact, I was under the impression that certain classes of entrepreneurs, well educated and drawn to financial services in particular, had wor

With android in cameras now, that already have bracketing, together with the increasing focus on camera performance in mobile phones, having HDR expertise would seem to me to be highly valuable as well.

Distribution is usually via Hong Kong at something of middle man markups, but still cheap. The last time we ordered this way, the item arrived declared for customs as 'Contents: Gift'. I'm not sure what the preferred weight limit is for the

Whether the hardware is right depends on the usage. In my case I've found the hardware terribly inadequate for what I need to do. I have an early 2011 MacBook pro, and it has proved to be incredibly frustrating for me as a general purpose c

This is all very interesting, but I do think the concentration on HTML5 is something of a foil. Strategically, I was under the impression that Facebook was positioning itself to be a third independant force, alongside Apple and Google. Cons

Well, I have to say that your analysis of Egypt is quite wrong. The last time I was in the poorer parts of Egypt, in 2008, extreme food poverty was easy to find. Men in sack cloth queued at huts waiting for unleavened flat bread. One method

Be afraid. Very afraid. Project managers can often appear like roadblocks to innovative solutions. In fact, I've lost arguments even when the benefits for a particular technical solution are obvious and accepted. But maintenance is a big fa

The UK isn't the only trusted western country apparently synchronising internet data mining capability. Australia is seriously considering a two year retention of web traffic by ISP's. http://www.itnews.com.au/News/313178,public-opposes-fe

I agree with this assessment. Where the probability of collision is low, and spins are in that case of short duration anyway, and especially if test and set intrinsics are available, spin locks in userspace can be very valuable. They also,

In the UK some high profile cases indicated a lack of understanding of essential statistics on the part of many in the legal fraternity. Judges in summation often unwittingly misrepresented probabilities, or allowed tenuous statistical asse

Speaking from the UK perspective, the false idea that maximisation of profit is inferred in any way by corporation law is sometimes more easily seen when examining the case of 'Private' companies. These are companies still limited by share

There is no law that obligates the directors of a company to maximise profit, at least under the Corporations Act that I know of in the UK. There is a statutory requirement to act in the best interests of the legal entity that is the corpor

The pursuit of 'state of the art' in audio has changed a little I would say. That 99.999% of listeners can't hear the difference between audio sources has been true in the past as well, even in the pre compressed era. Most people listened t

I don't think there's much that Assange can do to guarantee that he won't be extradited to the US. Firstly, the claim that needing both the UK and Sweden to agree extradition is largely irrelevant. Even Assange's native government, Australi

Thanks. The spelling I never knew, and I often get confused on the other two.

Well, the ninja baine reference was an admittedly weak attempt at alliteration. Due in the main to having recently seen the last Batman film. The mention of my concern refers to the subjective feeling I have about personal safety only. That

Actually, I'm just as concerned about standing amongst masses of other people waiting to go through security screening, as I am about a ninja baine character. There have been occasions where there have been more than a planes worth of passe

I'll add my tuppence and agree that I've noticed quite a few more "he's an idiot" comments recently. Coincidentally, I've tried to assess whether this is partly due to frustration with the quality of the original post. In some cases, I thin

It was of course fundamental to Assange's appeal that the validity of the extradition warrant be examined by the court, with respect to the precedents mentioned. The opinion referenced in the citation examines the claim made by Assange's ow

I checked up on the Australian experience, a country known for strict enforcement of helmet regulations, and found this. Perhaps you'll find it relevant. http://www.cyclehelmets.org/1192.html

I'm not sure how each service deals with indemnification against such claims, but the legal requirement, if it exists, to wear helmets, certainly makes a difference to uptake. For health reasons, helmets are not considered as hireable with
