Gah! Made me jump!

We're such an example (3+ years). Of course we haven't got massive lift off yet - but indications thereof.

Based on the info here in the comments, it seems that pseudonyms are any names other than FB logins. Perhaps this could be as much an analysis of the quality of a comment left by your typical FaceBook user. I know that as the Shepard of my

Seems unlikely. Big burocracies don't move that fast. Also the staff in the frontlines are probably not motivated by revenue.

Interesting perspective. What data led you to that conclusion?

I totally agree that children are different from adults. Sorry about my comment re 'insults'. I guess I just get a bit defensive since tantrums are a natural part of growing up. :)

Just because children haven't yet learnt to control their rampant emotions doesn't mean that they deserve your insults. My little ones have tantrums. Considering how many things they cannot do or control, I empathize with them. Tantrums onl

About 5-10% of back and forth threads are useful to read. As you point out, these are usually civil debates about the merits of particular approaches. I think the point is: as soon as it gets personal, get back to work.

There is a significant potential saving in temoving the now-redundant controls. Also, as computers become safer than humans, human drivers may be actively discouraged.

Yes, but they could probably be automatically parked in tightly packed parking lots far out of town. As peak approaches, they could drive themselves back into town. Because the customer doesn't require a specific car, these parking lots can

Does FeeFighters work outside of the United States? FeeFighters is able to help businesses in the United States and Canada. (Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam and US Commonwealths are excluded, sorry!) Does that skew your visitors toward

Perhaps bands who want to be popular on this site could provide concert recordings to splice in.

Also need to rate limit this, so you don't have someone playing an infinite number of rounds over 5 minutes.

As an entrepreneur, I'd like to see patents abolished. Totally. The cost of the patent system is obvious. The benefits are not.

It's possible that such automatic repair would create a bug. Much safer to have a human check and ensure that the ; goes in the right place. A better point is that the error messages from many compilers can be very obscure. This was particu

Detailed blog written during development starts here: http://jordanmechner.com/old-journals/ I've read it end to end. Expect it to take a day. Very inspiring.

It's simple : The people you are complaining about set these things up once on their computer and then forget about it. They don't realise how many things they have set up once along the years. It is not until you appear that it's time for

The trap here that I fell into during my youth is to ask this question at the wrong time.... Is going out on a date with my wife worth $X/hr ? Is helping someone by giving them a lift worth $X/hr? Is sitting down to read a book / watch a mo

In the "Why professionals should use..." section, the names (i.e — A.G. Blankenship, Artist) should link to the relevant galleries. Also, you might want to work on better layout for http://faso.com/artist-websites/ and showcasing gallerie

He made a good point. The presenter might as well have said "it works by being a computer program." It was a pretty funny way of asking for more details imho.

Steven Fry's point seems to be that others are copying Apple. Apple then asserting its patents is seen as a expected result.

There might be plenty of land, but I think there will always be more desirable land. Either it is more central - better transport, trade, jobs. Or it is near a natural resource, for instance water - which provides fresh air, views, transpor

I didn't say that preventing domain sales was an ideal that was possible to enforce.

Yes, it is true that we are all much better off than we were 200 years ago. This is due to both economic and technical progress. For instance, I can light and heat my house economically. However, the 90th percentile might be even better off

If that happens to everyone in the marketplace, then inflation just occurred. The market had a total of $100 + $50 and now has a total of $150 + $105. The cash in the market increased by 58% so all the price of all goods will also increase

My take on it: If both the rich individual and the poor individual are competing over the same scarce source material (eg Petrol, Rice, Real Estate) then the market will elevate the price of that material to the highest level that the rich

If it wasn't possible to sell a name, a domain that wasn't worth $10/yr to the current owner would have been released back into the market.

Of course, the release of details requirement is moot when the products being patented can be easily reverse engineered by a third party. Especially so when the patent application itself is extremely vague.

If you ignore the patent system and release your product without patents, your competition can arrive after you, patent your idea and then sue you.
