I don't know where that came from, but that's not a flash drive and never was. It looks to me more like a D-Link USB wireless adapter. I have a nearly identical one to that, except for a different hardware revision. That one looks like a

AWS kicks ass, but it doesn't (yet) offer scanning-tunneling electron microscopes or particle accelerators to the best of my knowledge, which might be what grandparent was referring to?

I would highly recommend Michael Geist's blog and writing to anyone who follows piracy issues. http://www.michaelgeist.ca/

Maybe, or maybe not, but this is nowhere near as offensive as blink. This is fairly subtle, and if put to a greyscale series, it would be barely even noticeable except as some neat lighting effects.

backbone.js work may suddenly become very relevant to some work I'm about to do, so I might be counted in that number. I'm having a hard time finding really solid examples with things like backbone and node (moreso node) because of how fas

Utterly 100% disagree. Scott Adams posted it, and part of publishing anything comes with the responsibility and acknowledgement that it is subject to judgement. If it had been snapshotted by the Wayback machine, who is being disrespectful?

Alternate title: "How not to get a job" Both concepts mentioned apply in almost any employment situation. A good employer (that is, one that you would strive to work for) will only be as engaged in you as you are in them, and as you are in

I had a few outages with 2 AWS EC2 instances, (one small, one micro) both in eastern zones today.

That's probably tongue in cheek, but in case it's not: No, absolutely, definitely not.

I'd also accept "I'm doing it" from a Great programmer. Somewhere in there should also fit, "Let me teach you how to do it too."

There are still a number of DTD headers which can throw IE6 into quirks mode, where the bug still exists.

That's the best rebuttal you can offer?

That's a very neat looking concept, and congratulations on getting it out there. I don't see any link between a dollar price and the purchase of credits, however - could you add or address that? (It seems you get 360 credits for 8.95 but do

I'm seriously having a hard time conflating the snark of the submission title with the respect owed to Dr. Kildall. This: "Gary never wanted to file suit against Microsoft because he always believed that in the end excellence in programming

Your dates kept appearing as "NaN Feb" for me, on your "About" wordify page (which was the only example I could find without registering/signing in). Minor bug, just a heads up :)

Good catch. I didn't notice the picture accompanying the article until after I'd posted, and I searched for "bitherist" rather than "birther". Apologies to OP for overlooking their meaning.

I either read an entirely different article than you or my Search feature is broken in Google Chrome. I found 0 instances of "Nazi" or "bitherist" in the TC article linked. Have I missed something?

I think (understandably) no prospective parent, upon losing their baby for any reason, is going to have "oh yeah, cancel those website reminders" at the forefront of their minds. Certainly, all it would take is probably the first email fro

I am not sure if the submitter was the creator or not, but I found a couple of issues that I thought were sort of prohibitive or at least counter to the intentions of the site (it should "just work"). 1) The font choice when hovering over "

I'm not siding with or against you or Flickr or anyone else here, just pointing this out: I see nothing in the FAQ or Upgrade page that indicates a Pro account ensures your files will be backed up. (Point being, nothing site-wide in my quic

I think my math was right (unless my compound interest calculator was wrong) but I did make a typo - the investment would have to be $600 per year at 5% compounding interest, not $500. Sorry 'bout that.

by jat850 16y ago
I don't fully agree with your math. Mine is potentially no better, but: A single customer, spending $500/year on whatever it is you do, wherein you make 5% compounding profit off of their $500/year, nets $100,000 in 45 years. I feel that'

I can't peer into the mind of David Foster Wallace any more than any of the rest of us, but is it possible that he wrote this essay borne out of his own battles with depression? What I mean to say is, did his own depression cloud his view

The article you linked specifies that the statute in question only applies to goods, not services. Is that applicable here?

You are right - my mistake. I misread the original post as it being "free" for Twitter to allow it to go to court and run their defense against the lawsuit from there. Did not realize that the OP was implying free from the plaintiff's per

It depends. I am not a lawyer, and certainly not an American torts expert (or a tort expert in any nation) but I believe that certain states have statutes in place that allow the judge discretion in assigning the defendant's legal fees to

That seems sort of silly - I would posit instead, why should we care much about which causes any of them value (and their reasons why)? Why shouldn't Mr. Gates be allowed to allocate as much (or as little) of his funds to a cause which a)
