I am genuinely curious: if I carry an iPhone everywhere, why do I need to carry a flashlight, too?

Which gender deserves to be called a whore in a professional context? There's nothing acceptable about this behavior. Her rebuttal was very classy by the way, well done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9kTZx1vq7c

Right now, your website allows me to browse for pictures of new cars in alphabetical order, or search for pictures of new cars. That's it. Why would I bookmark this site? Why would I recommend this site to others? It doesn't yet s

It's the use of the word "dignity" that upset me. Dignity is a dangerous word to use in an article full of gendered euphemisms.

"I’ve written before on the Harvard Business School professor Amy Cuddy and power poses—I’ve even tried them out, at some cost to my dignity but gain to my dry-cleaning pickup skills." So dignity is just for the masculine? It'

Purchases are taxed. Bitcoins can be purchased. It then follows that purchased bitcoins are taxed. A transitive relation, no?

I was about to say "this puts the Swedish IT investigators in a very good light." Maybe that's what made me so skeptical in the first place. Thanks for answering my questions. :)

I don't understand, why would he hack a company with tax info? I really cannot think of one good reason. Did he make any public statements about it? Did he do it from his apartment in Cambodia? Why does his apartment in Cambodia enter

Why don't they focus their energy on making satellite access more affordable? Looks like Google is trying to make its own emerging niche demographic to profit from. You've got to be kidding yourself if you think a floating balloon

It doesn’t work for me, either. Maybe it takes time to propagate changes to every Facebook user? No clue.

Just an FYI -- I don’t have kids either. I was pointing that out because it seemed like a massive contradiction to say that working at Yahoo is comfortable, but then to say in the following sentence that home life is non-existent. I often p

What's comfortable about working until 9 or 10 pm every night? Would you be saying that if you had kids?

Oh, I just meant to compete against specific species. Seeing that they use a Glicko rating system makes more sense; not having the option to compete against a specific species means that top ranked players won’t have to worry about tradeoff

You were right about my Flash being out of date. I upgraded, and now it kind of works. A video loads, but it only plays if I click on the link that takes me to Youtube in a new window or tab. Even if that’s a tiny bit inconvenient, it’s sti

I did something similar for MATLAB; it doesn’t enjoy GUI stuff, but it adds functionality to Sublime Text 2 that was simply non-existant beforehand. Check it out: https://github.com/jessebikman/Sublime-Text-2-build-Matlab-c...
