Who knows - if they keep pushing, it might eventually become true. I remember at one point being part of the crowd that laughed at "Write once, run anywhere" slogan that Sun used for Java ("Write once, debug everywhere" was the joke back th

You are assuming that the patent system as it stands rewards people who have ideas (more than the alternative of having no patents at all would). I think there is a good chance that this is not true at all. Some possibilities: Maybe the sys

I don't like the phrase "trust but verify". I believe it gives the wrong idea of how to handle people you depend on to accomplish things. "Delegate completely, verify periodically - and slowly build up trust when good results are repeatedly

It was truly painful to read this comment. When you read books like Atlas shrugged, you see them talking about a horrible kind of moral - but it is hard to believe there really is such people (I know better, already, but still..) - and here

I want something I can self-host - both because of cost, and because I want to be able to tweak things as needed. I haven't looked at JWebPresenter before - thanks!

Nice. I discarded it because from the source forge page it looks like dead (no update since 2008 or so, according to the comments in http://sourceforge.net/projects/dimdim/ ). I will re-consider it..

I found myself using this each day more. If you want to watch everything that happens inside a directory (merged into a single window) - like I always do, you will need a command similar to: multitail --mergeall -f -iw "apache-tomcat-6

This is utterly absurd. You cannot limit in any way fiction that people read or write - not if you claim to be a free country. Seriously - why is this happening? I am not talking about "protecting the children" or other such nonsense - th

It is not exactly the same transformation as you said. Information and matter are for practical purposes fundamentally different. You can't just copy a device a million times over with near-zero cost, and you also can't change mechanical de

I find this tool much easier to use for building quick throw-away scripts than GreaseMonkey - it allows you to write your scripts in a higher level. Unfortunately, it is not well known. It also has a nice feature of generating a Firefox ext

There is no such thing as a "lie detector". It is all nonsense. And it is dangerous and harmful that people think that lie detectors are worth something. If you want to understand why, you can read what is on http://antipolygraph.org/
