Well if Mitt & CO win, who knows Medicare vouchers might become a reality. Then when people are thrown out of hospitals by the ends of their colostomy bags and IVs, a single payer system might appear to be a bit better solution. All t

A modest proposal for the establishment of an libertarian state: Well there is Antarctica or Somalia. Unless there is a radical new technology that allows us to control the weather, Antarctica is out. Somalia is a possibility though, for

That is if we kept spending at current levels. Canada spends much less on healthcare than the united states. Canadian life expectancy is also higher, which leads me to believe that their gasp socialist healthcare system is actually more

I would gladly pay 5% more income tax to be on par with Canada as far as rates go, if the USA got single-payer healthcare.

Zuck has to listen to the market. If the market is dumping his stock like after the recent lock-up expired then there's a problem.

Facebook started at $38. It is at $19.41 right now, If I was a Facebook shareholder I would be very worried that half my investment is gone, and that said FB engineers and early inverters had just cashed out after the latest lockup expire

Zuck will have fun explaining to the shareholders why they are spending money on this and not trying to get back to their IPO stock price.

How is the noise profile? My 4 year old t400 (upgraded to 8gbyte ram and a SSD) is still dead silent except when playing hd video.

I want my desktop to look like, but not be Windows 98. I don't like the MS registry, or anything else MS for that matter, Debian With a desktop environment that enforces the desktop metaphor is a sensible alternative... It would not be tha

I was in a similar position a few months ago. Then I said fuckit, I'm learning to code. I am definitely not at the level of a $80k/year dev with a BS in CS, but I can make some thing out of nothing now. Try thenewboston.com/mit python/st

iOS. Here is my completely unscientific observations from a fairly wealthy place in the USA.. People see apple and assume that they will have to pay lots of [real money] to use those things. Apple has put a ridiculous amount of effort into

4hrs sleep is not enough. Try getting at least 6-7 and see how you are more productive.

This is hilarious, and exactly what you get when there is no forethought to product longevity. What if in 10 years the economy is still shit, the cloud is unfeasible, and the WRT54g from 2002 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linksys_WRT54G_se

Their office looks disorganized, they look exactly like the negative stereotype of a programmer. I'll leave that you to figure out ;). This is what IBM and Microsoft think their employees look like: http://careers.microsoft.com/careers/e

It doesn't matter what the gender ratio is in tech. Are we encouraging more young men to become nurses and primary-school teachers? CS is one of the most open if not, THE most open field right now. There isn't a FE/PE/PHD/JD requirement t

Switch to chicklet keys and I might as well get a MBP. The whole point of Thinkpads is that IBM/Lenovo & CO leave the design alone.

History repeats itself. MS really screwed up with vista and hardware, now they will do the same damn thing with software, which will piss people off IMMENSELY and cause people to stay with win 7 or xp. There are still quite a few small bus

Thinkpads aren't nearly as sleek looking, but they are IMO much easier to work on, and no integrated battery, and on some (T400 in my case) 100% hardware support for Debian/Ubuntu/CENTOS out of the box.

FB is worth approximately the same as Kraft foods (70 vs 68 BN). Take away FB for 3 days and you get people bitching on twitter and some lost business for their advertisers. Take away junk food for 3 days and you get riots. Here is what
