Unfortunately, politics in general is usually a rejection of critical thinking skills. The Texas GOP is just openly recognizing that. Anyhow, it's a good insight into today's GOP. This stuff has always been around, but the party out of powe

Wow, am I one of the few people who really likes Gnome 3? I use it on my primary home PC on top of Ubuntu 12.04. I love it.

I drink one cup of coffee each morning just because I like it. It doesn't do anything to me. It just tastes good.

Anyone can write a terms of service that says "if you link to my site, you agree to pay me US$1,000,000." Enforcing it is another thing.

I just tried it and once I entered my email address, it then asked: "Next, choose a new password you'll use when you sign in with Persona." Not sure why you're confused.

Read the book "Thinking, fast and slow." We are genetically programmed (as are all living things) to conserve energy and make things easier for ourselves. I guess the author could more accurately replace "lazy" with "make things easier" and

Agreed. I can set up a VPS with debian/nginx/mysql/php in about 10 minutes and have a site up and running. Python? Ruby? There just doesn't seem to be an easy way of getting them running on a web server. At least, I haven't figured it out y

Exactly. I'd be interested in some follow up with that 30-story building they previously built. What's the final quality -- months later? I'm skeptical, but with enough pre-planning and enough people, I think it is possible to build a quali

Argentina is the very definition of economic schizophrenia. People are put in jail for reporting the actual inflation rate (instead of the "official" inflation rate). The Economist magazine recently published a story that they are no longer

We seem to be getting more of these types of articles. I haven't seen one yet that declares facebook advertising a raging success for a business. All of the responses to these articles are usually "they're doing it wrong," which is more of

That's a nice graph, but it assumes that the Congress would have just gone along with surpluses and done what they never do -- stopped increasing spending. Both parties are to blame and sites that claim that the Republicans or Democrats are

It's telling of what exactly? That I didn't connect defense spending and dependence on handouts? You are reading more into what I'm saying than is there. Check your pre-conceived notions. And, AGAIN, where do I blame the people on food st
