I would add an 'if' to the headline to make it less inflamatory: 'If I am in competition with you for all sorts of experiences, you will lose'. I am not competing with you, and I do not care if I take a late flight, or do not have a reserva

Idiocracy – Basically an ordinary comedy, with an above average plot, but overall nothing special or interesting. Overrated. Agreed. I found it surprising when some relatives started overusing the jokes contained on the movie

If I have understood it correctly, he also means that using SCUMM is fun by itself, so it just puts you in the right mood.

You should accept that he is 'almost' right. It's true that this technology (as most of them) can be used for spying and terrorist purposes, but regulation is the worst (and most anti-competitive) way of handling this issue. The article doe

You are confusing 'implementation details' with how does git abstract reality. You are not supposed to know how things are implemented, really.

Why would you? If you write clean maintainable code and are productive using it there's no problem, there are tons of ways of tuning Cake (as most frameworks). The default configuration is meant for 'bootstrapping'. However, if you are inte

Nope, the 2% is considering 'perfect use'. Now, if that involves lying (I promise! I was using a condom, and perfectly!) I can't know, but I think statistics usually involve some corrections for these cases. The failure rate for 'typical us

Let's not forget that condoms have a failure rate, given perfect use, of 2%.

I am happy with my X60, but just in case I might fancy an upgrade, which is the last model worth of it? Maybe the X230 but the screen frame still looks too big / noticeable.

Just as a tip for Arduino newcomers, if you want to put the UNO R3 into DFU mode [1], just bridge these two pins together with a jumper or a cable for a moment: ____________________ | o ··········· RESET --->

You stopped using Linux ten years ago because of VGA output handling?

What about: 1. a circular rotating peripheral parking in which you can get a car (or your car) in around 5 to 30 minutes. 2. incredible discounts using public transport. 3. huge taxes to ride the city by car, except for service transports (

I know this is just speculative, and in fact I was joking, but to achieve that you either have to: 1) Configure a push hook on the master server, which you need access to. 2) Remove decentralized from DVCS, as your service becomes a new mas

Some people say one of the differences between some modern democracies and a dictatorship is that on the latter, you know where your limits of freedom are. You are not acting on behalf of the government? Guess what: terrorism. I would also

I did see the movie in 2D (the parallax effect in 3D movies distract and give me headache). My experience was that for the first half hour, I felt that some scenes were there just to please the 3D movie. A tree that goes into the screen, a

I think it depends if you are building a consumer API or an internal API. If you are just looking for a way to build a client to your already known (and owned) service, you could write a trivial client if the API implements HATEOAS. For bui

I understand from your comment that times are changing, and I agree on that. Is it that Facebook is popular, or it is the Internet itself? In any case, I keep on my previous statement. It usually blows my mind, and is something I would have

Just think about this: every time you are on a bar, most of the people (if not all except yourself (maybe)) is on Facebook. Try to make that generalization about anything else.

I like your approach: test the market without taking risks, and learn on how locals handle it themselves. Can't think on a better way of doing it. Distribution can kill your idea. At the same time, it's the best selling point of it. If user
