It's a happy day. I was considering installing Windows so I could dual boot on my Arch machine but this has made me reconsider. I remember how years ago, on KDE2, wine barely ran anything and the best games available on *nix were things lik

Yes, you're quite right about Kasting - it was late at night and my focus was lacking. Unfortunately, I cannot correct my comment above.

Would you mind posting (potentially redacted) copies of those emails, just so that we can get an idea of what was involved in GoogleOS? It would be nice if some of the people you worked with piped up to tell us more about this too. I suppos

If it bundles in advertising then is it really free? Consider how much money is spent on ads - they clearly have an effect, and given the obscene amounts of money spent, probably not a small one. So what is the impact of advertising? We buy

It's OK to feel your emotions and make decisions based on them. Life isn't a business where everything comes down to a cost-benefit analysis. There are real people living in these conditions and I bet they're wondering why nobody is helping

What about hard drugs? You argue against prohibition - that alcohol should be legal, yet it is a hard drug.

Please don't publicise this - Gawker already did enough damage. If some of the more interesting things become popular enough then governments will begin to attack them. In fact, there has already been at least one conviction regarding what

Another interpretation of those facts is that mechanical interconnections between various deterministic processes can result in emergent behaviours which are profoundly beautiful. What if the glass is half full? www.skytopia.com/project/fra

This article could be better - it presents a problem but does not resolve it in any meaningful way. It asks the equivalent of "which is better, left or right?" and concludes with "my opinion is that left is better." This is not a pragmatic

I hope I'm wrong about you and your endevours. I wish you the best of luck with getting your product out there.

Point still stands that the material used in the software development field has no nudity in it what-so-ever. So it's a crop from a nude, big deal. Is it also wrong if a non-nude image of a porn actress is used? What about a non-nude of a r

She's beautiful. What's so wrong about appreciating someone's body? You don't see this kind of reaction to nude male models - that is where the real sexism is, IMO.

Apologies for causing any distress, it's not my intent. My contention is that these are separate issues and that educators should concern themselves with providing the best level of training possible as opposed to being concerned with the k

I would argue that in circumstances where they are not unfairly burdened, children are indeed naturally curious. The problems they inherit from poverty or poor family life are not resolvable through education in the first place. That is a

Humans have one very prominent attribute - they rationalise what they have. Kids who were physically hit will rationalise that this is the correct way to rear a child when they become adults. Similarly, kids who were taught not to think wil

Ah, that explains it. I didn't use agencies when I was a junior and aim for lead dev/senior positions these days.

Seriously? They're a blessing - I'm rarely unemployed for more than a week thanks to them.

Being a web developer in London who has dealt with many agencies, I call bullshit on this. Not one recruiter who I have dealt with has been a problem for me, quite the opposite, in fact. There is something wrong with your friend's perceptio

That backed up my argument - the half-life is nowhere near 15 hours unless pregnancy or other drugs are involved.

Save for being an infant or on certain anti-depressants, how, exactly, did you come to the figure of a 15 hour half-life? Do you have a source for this?

Caffeine goes swimmingly with magnesium, L-Theanine and Noopept.

Well that's nice. When it comes to technical fields you assume that there are not many women because the men are arrogant assholes. When it comes to a soft field you assume that there are not many men because, well, you don't know. You are

You'll have an aneurysm when you read about how heroin used to be sold in pharmacies. The drug war is a very recent phenomenon with a lot of dirty politics driving it.

Given that they can already determine the country of origin by the IP quite effectively, I don't see why they don't just hide the adverts for UK viewers. This is a good example of well-intentioned insanity.
