   Indeed. Gmail is just about the only successful pine killer I've ever witnessed.

   Quit, if I really believe in an idea... IANAL, but I would be concerned that even this would be insufficient if your employer can show that you had the idea while working for them.

   I don't disagree with the substance of your post, but I wanted to note that the AMA, and the national and state licensing boards are non-government entities. While the states do make it illegal to practice medicine without a license (or pra

   Presumably they are already paying for H.264 in flash anyway; why would they stop after open sourcing it?

   For super bowl ads, I would imagine that the actual production cost is almost a rounding error compared to the cost of the airtime itself.

   Nice list. As long as we're sharing, I'll add that I really like Google's Quick Scroll extension.

   Absolutely. If/when Android has tethering "out of the box" I doubt I'll continue to run alternative kernels.

    IMHO, getting root on Android is worth it if only for gaining USB/Bluetooh/WiFi tethering.

    Yeah, I think filesystems are (inevitably?) converging towards search or some sort of computer-aided file organization. I've been meditating a lot on this recently. The way I organize files is in a current directory for the last N weeks, or

    Didn't crash Gnash, but I'm not sure if it rendered "properly" either (I just saw a blue rectangle.)

    There are a couple of alternative app stores for Android (I'm not sure what would make them "open", they're certainly more open than the Apple one, but that goes for the official Google Market, too. Here are the ones that I know of for andr

    Then there are embedded systems that control missile batteries or commercial aircraft, and to save money on processors, everything is implemented in the lowest-level language possible. Avionics and weapons systems are, I hope, still writt

    This seems completely backwards to me. The kernel of course is open, with the possible exception of some specific hardware drivers for specific phones (Wifi and perhaps GPS). The virtual machine (dalvik) and development environment are both

    I realize that this doesn't exactly address the root cause of your issue, but if you right click on selected text in Chrome, one of the menu entries will be to google for it in another tab.

    In my experience the apparent speed of 3G is strongly device dependent. When I tether my phone to my laptop it feels much, much faster then when I browse the web directly on my phone. So you are actually watching the page render not downl

    I'm a native English speaker and lived in the US my whole life and this makes no sense to me either. I think it means that coffee automatically comes with one unit of cream and one unit sugar and that saying "no cream no sugar" is insuffi

    AFAIK, no. There are the Westlaw and Lexis-Nexis databases, but I'm not sure if even they can be called completely authoritative. (And access to them is certainly not free.)

    Costco seems to pay more than other retailers in their sector, especially when you factor in benefits.

    Increasing IQ is, at best, a side effect of increasing intelligence. That is, IQ is just one way of quantifying intelligence in a single number. Its limitations are well known. Depending on how poor a mapping there is between intelligence a
