   Also good to remember that PCs (desktops) and laptops are really good enough already. Nobody wants to replace them if they don't really need to. My work laptop is 5 years old and still functions perfectly, and is about as powerful a

   Even if the copyright expires wouldn't you be forbidden to use eg. the "Mickey Mouse" name for your own mouse-stories? Because of trademarks, which don't expire?

   Most often the technology isn't the most important thing in "web development". Understanding the customers needs (often better than the customer) and implementing them is the point. Of course technology is important but just

   When I went to driving school they tought us to leave quite some room in fornt of us when stopiing at lights etc. Then when the other car stops behind you you close the gap (or if the car behind you is going to rear end you you have some es

   "Bicycles can kill pedestrians..." I tried to look up the injury code and didn't really get any statistics on people killed by bicyclists. Do you have any further information? Bicyclists running red lights never kill anybody

   So what discoveries can we hope to expect with this higher energy? I mean what kind of discoveries were simply not possible with the lower level used before, do we know these or are they just smashing the particles and checking what comes o

   Well sorry for the Louis CK style commenting :) It hits a nerve because part of it is true :) Further down is a funny post about youngsters "understanding" that you don't actually have to work ("So while you think it&#x2

   Jesus, ads are again apparently the solution to everything... No, snapchat is not going to replace tv ads for example, even though pimple faced teens use it to send belfies. But come on, are all these "startups" only capable of be

   Sorry for the kids today! post... I find it weird that so many young people get burnt out, in relatively simple jobs with no responsibilities (on the job or with kids/family). A couple of people at my office have had to take a couple m

    Or maybe these are all just "myths", ie. not still fully understood? Eg. the retina: https://theconversation.com/look-your-eyes-are-wired-backwar...

    What does "all cash" mean? Surely the buyers never start paying loan payments to the former owners... At least where I live all transactions for houses etc are always "all cash", even when the buyers have gotten a loan f

    What are good queue replacements? My problem with activemq et. al. style queues is that monitoring them is much harder than a simple database. Ie. checking for pending items in the queue and also for debuggin processed items later. And some

    Well in sweden (which is to supposed to be a peaceful nation) there are city districts where the police can't go because the "natives" try to kill them. Unsurprisingly these places are full of immigrants. You can pooh-pooh ov

    Ok so if I understand your and mdturnerphys answer correctly, photons are not affected by the higgs field (but are affected by gravity, hence the mystery)?

    I thought that photons are also affected by gravity even though they have no mass? http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/10/08/science/the-hi...

    Gotta agree. But people apparently need a Hero and hero worship to get exited about things (ie. funding). I bet there are thousands of people who would have been able and willing to do the same things as Neil, and who today would happily ma

    I must say that this was a completely worthless posting and completely misses the point of coding conventions. - locked - stucked - one true way - never changes WTF? What is he talking about? And somehow coding conventions inhibit innovatio

    Thanks for all the replies. I wasn't actually trying to put mongodb (or nosql in general) down, there sure is a use for these technologies. The amount of money just seems staggering (money in the IT world nowadays seems to be off the charts

    What an amazing amount of money. Apparently they have got $70m+ in total. Our small/mid sized company with about 20 employees could operate for about 50 years with that amount of cash... An apparently they already pay for themselves: "“Busi

    I've seen these kind of people, and the fact is that they are not "the fun of the party" though they themselves of course can enjoy themselves (and the drunk people don't mind). It's the "drunken" people providing all the fun and atmosphere

    Well DRM helps nothing to stop a video from being torrented, so why bother with it. I think Louis CK is smart enough to understand this, and with this personal appeal will probably sell better than using the usual methods. I bought a copy b
