Yea, I like how they encouraged people to develop all these profile widgets, and then effectively created an "All the Extra Crap Here" tab and stuck every single application into it. I'm so glad I chose to sell off my apps before these cha

I agree with the "index fund" approach. Too many people get caught up playing the market or paying out the butt to some "financial advisor" who doesn't have much more of a clue where the economy is going than your Average Joe. Just stick i

I agree wholeheartedly. There's nothing like the thrill of attacking some twisties and pushing it to the limit. Nobody here is Michael Schumacher, but a manual car with a good sound will damn sure make you feel like him.

I'm sure it involves iframes and some sort of absolute CSS positioning. That's about as flexible you can get if Javascript is off. (I'd guess the affected Adobe product is Flash)

All I know is my vote is heavily influenced by YouTube videos. Whichever candidate gets their YouTube in just before I close the curtain is probably getting my +1.

If I was still an FB developer I'd be enraged that Facebook would require me to pay a stupid fee just to get this priority placement, especially if my app was high quality. Facebook should be taking the best apps and highlighting them as a

From what I recall too, the marginal cost of SMS is 0, because text messages are sent on your cell phone's control channel (also why you can't send/receive a call while a text is transferred): http://mobile.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=433

No, because my strengths are in web software development and one of my weaknesses happens to be predicting and extrapolating the effects of insanely large and complex systems over several decades (like the Earth and its weather). Web softwa

This article is so ridiculous: "Why is it such a stretch of the imagination", he said, "to consider that someone overweight or obese might actually be healthy and fit?" You're not going to be maximally fit if you're obese, I think everyo

Quantum Mechanics always blows my mind and I only ever end up frustrated that I don't know the answer to how it all works. Even "basic" stuff like the Double-Slit experiment keeps me daydreaming for awhile.

That's the tradeoff. I smoke you through the turns, and you get better gas mileage. I don't drive hard on commutes, but I don't work on the weekends =) Also, the MS6 is a mid-size sedan, the TSX is a compact entry-level sedan that weighs

As someone who drives a stick, I would love to see this feature under the right foot of drivers of auto cars. I drive a 300hp sports car and on my stoplight commutes if I'm not accelerating pretty aggressively, people will be on my tail be
