The last song I heard that really blew me away was "The Catastrophe and The Cure" by this group. I agree that it's good coding music too.

I'd say Geico is an example of a Buffett-owned company that pretty much nails these (except maybe the last one, provocation).

OK, I actually am a big fan of Ferriss, but with this one he's topped the silliness of even his "Gain 30 lbs. of muscle in a month" post. In a nutshell, the title of this post should be "How to evaluate how difficult learning a given langua

I wonder what the odds are that the blogger has read the works of the laureates he would replace. Funny that the ones he keeps the same are all the popular ones . . . Camus, Hemingway, Faulkner, Marquez. And to suggest that JK Rowling sho

Can anyone point me to a good tutorial for widgetizing a web app? Everything I find when searching is related to Mac desktop widgets or something else specific, like Google gadgets or Wordpress.

there are plenty; it's just that if they hunt, they're called pack animals or swarms. anyway, the review is good -- I like the descriptor of Friedman's writing as "middlebrow horseshit"

With the way they generate revenue, I imagine about 12,000 are now doing SOX compliance.

I'm fond of the quote "If you're bored, it's your fault." I think it must apply triple to someone working at Google. I'm guessing he was eased out for surfing /b/ too much.

I think the issue is concentration. The ingredients are there, they're just scattered in various ways. 1. Geography: Atlanta is sprawled out, so even if you live near Tech or Emory, odds are you can't skip down to the local coffee shop to

Reading philosophy is still good mental exercise, and it gives you interesting ways to think about the world. Learning to call bullshit on intimidating ideas is a good thing to learn. I agree that one test of it is whether it changes the w

Very nice. I like the clean page design and dead-simple UI. On Wamily, a subjective opinion: make the front page fit horizontally in the browser window with no scrolling (I am viewing this on a non-widescreen laptop with 1024 x 768 resolu

Obvious troll is obvious. But getting better at least. Nice rhetorical schtick . . . I used to use this one to "prove" that America had all the traits of a fascist dictatorship. Is this one of the guys from Uncov? (Which, if you haven't

Actually, though, this has some truth to it. Not only that, but the truth of the statement is directly proportional to the quality of the institution the student attends (or at least the German philosophy department of said institution)

More of an intention. I somewhat agree -- my first reaction was to append "and then a plan" to the end of the sentence. But I think the most accurate take on the subject is this: "I have always found plans to be worthless, but planning ind
