I can only relate to having worked hard on something and not having anything to show for it. I just try and salvage as much as I can and try to fit it into a story that communicates my overall goals.

This is why I'm afraid of getting one, though I could see how separating work (MBP) from play (iPad) might increase productivity/fun.

I wish there was something like MIT OpenCourseWare but better (or that it itself was better).

Someone should just build a bot to accumulate Buffett Bucks by 'exploring' the site 24/7. Guaranteed upside! :)

I kind of feel bad now because this really isn't that big of a deal... I think I just couldn't pass on the opportunity to take my general dislike for 'transparency' out on someone. Sorry, Posterous! :(

Right, but by definition a "stranded passenger" is someone just waiting to get on a flight back to their home. If people make other plans, change their minds, move, book a Disney cruise back to the states, etc. they are no longer the "stran

Assuming airlines are trying to maximize their bottom lines, if they want to capitalize on this spike in demand to offset the lower demand that resulted from the flight restrictions, they might be wanting to slowly fill up flights by gradua

I've been thinking along similar lines lately. I only care about what a few of my Facebook 'friends' like, think, do, etc., and I talk to them in real life. If it weren't for the social noise that is Facebook, I think I would have made a fe

Right, but we can't compare them to each other without more information, so I don't think your rebuttal works. Given the political differences between California and Texas, there is the possible scenario that these ~1700 bills in Texas were

This isn't a good metric for measuring government "productivity" at all. More information is needed like the size and scope of these particular bills, for just one example.
