I think hydrogen-3 mining is probably more likely. From what I understand, it's far more common on the moon and gas giants than on Earth, and it's useful for fusion.

Actually, I'm all for all the "SELL SELL SELL" doomsayers. It will give me a chance to buy more AAPL at a better price :)

I'm actually going to say the most likely is Vidyard. "YouTube for businesses" + super easy + multi-device compatible + metrics + great pricing + built-in call to action and sharing + content agnostic (aka adult friendly)

Making sure ranges work is especially important if you're serving up streaming video.

If I remember correctly, the Lisa was someone else's project and Steve Jobs stole developers away from the Lisa project to build the Macintosh. NeXTSTEP might have been a commercial failure at the time, but it's the foundation of OS X (in c

Greece probably depends heavily on international trade and doesn't want to piss other countries off. That way, they can say "well we tried, please don't be mad!" Not saying it's right or wrong, just that it seems like the reasoning to me.

This is great, because the Facebook Developer Forums are effectively useless.

Hmm, I beg to differ. If I remember correctly, the Apple Newton MessagePad was the first commercially available tablet computer. They may not have invented the tablet concept (just as so many other major inventions are conceptualized in f

From what I understand from my limited Star Trek-watching experience, PADDs are effectively free because of replicators.

I thought it was pretty cool that Gene Roddenberry had a clause in his contract that allows anyone who makes a tricorder-like device to call it a tricorder. Unlike George Lucas, who makes people license the word "droid".

Bobby Fischer was famous, among chess players. _why was famous, among rubyists. The only difference is they didn't make a movie about _why.

A day that I wrote bad code? I write bad code EVERY day! Then I fix it and it's great.

I think with remote backups, a 2-part backup is probably the best strategy. Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner on an external hard drive, and remote backups with Arq, or BackBlaze, or Carbonite, or whatever. It's possible to lose your S3 da

My favorite _why-ism was how he would hand write and scan code snippets for his blog (often without any explanation of what it did). Then, when lazy people started OCR-ing the images, he would post code as animated GIFs. It was not only fun

It's probably a little cheaper, plus you have slightly more control over it.

I use Soywiki: http://danielchoi.com/software/soywiki.html Toss something like this in your .bashrc or .zshrc to run it in MacVim and have an easy command: export SOYWIKI_VIM=mvim alias wiki='cd ~/wiki; soywiki' Then just git ini

It's not bad at all if there is a quality pool of developers. 37signals charged $100 for a 30 day gig listing when they had gigs on their job board, and the job board doesn't email anyone.

Thanks! I'll try to send along some clients too, I get requests here and there that I can't take on for whatever reason.

Looks great, and I'd like to sign up, but having single-use invite codes and putting them on Twitter is kind of a pain. I tried 3 or 4 that didn't work, so I guess I'll sign up if I ever see it around again.

Actually, I think the holographic wrist device could be done with a pair of augmented reality glasses and a wristband with a little AR marker on it for orientation. Of course, you'd be the only one able to see it (unless you're linked up wi

There's a good demo at http://pivotaltracker.com (registration required, though) All joking aside, this project probably will appeal most to people already familiar with Pivotal Tracker, much like the Basecamp clones out there will appeal

Based on some digging around I have a very strong suspicion that Jules is the founder and only employee of This*. I think the "new employee" will likely just be a new email account with a different name.

Oh definitely, most people don't go around talking about paying for porn sites, but the really hardcore porn customers (the kind who regularly pay for porn) can be extremely loyal if you treat them nicely (and vocal if you don't).

Wasn't there some thing about Lenovo laptops having crazy spy chips in them, or was that just silly CIA psyops propaganda?

I think there's some truth there. Both sides acted like children, but the reason the focus is more on the hosting company is that they abused their power. As far as the attitudes go, when you're reselling $2.95/month hosting you're going to

I'm a consultant too, and I've had the occasional abusive client just like everyone has at some point. And who hasn't had several clients who were just oblivious to reality? I've kicked them to the curb as soon as possible, but not before s
