Yes, but that doesn't answer the question. Sure, it makes sense that there's not much reason to hold stock when the growth is negative. The question was: how do you decide why the growth is negative? This is an important, because sometime

This seems a bit extreme to me. I fall more on RMS's side of things, but I also thing RMS would not characterize ESR as "technically clueless" and only doing "little bits of damage" to the movement. "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" is not an

I'm not even signed in, and I can read it fine. I think there must be some other bug going on here.

Indeed. The rumor I've heard is that Google thought about putting Time into their Maps development cycle but decided it would probably be a waste.

Well, I'm not sure what the threshold is for formal announcements - I too would like it if they mention the API opening up. But street view also looks significantly overhauled there.

I wondered that for a while, too. But there is a forgot password link, actually. You just have to enter your username and leave the password field blank, and then hit "login." You'll then be presented with a link to get a newly-generated pa

I was just talking about this with my girlfriend, and while we both loved Bradbury deeply, what's odd is that our first thought wasn't of this being a tragic loss. The man lived to 91 - which is three times as long as we've lived so far. Ra

Same here; it seems like the range of applications is incredibly broad.

And not just driving. Take the iPad, for instance - it's fun and kind of magical, but a lot of us dismiss it because you can't really do "serious" input on it. Even though I really like it, I have to confess that I can't really type that fa

These are fair points. To address the parent I was commenting on a bit better, I agree with your last point about the industry not necessarily shifting to mobile. There's not actually a lot of data here; the stuff I've seen (and the stuff p

Well, this seems wrong on a couple of counts. For one thing, Steam has iOS and Android clients as of January of this year. For another, Steam was released a decade ago in 2002 - and if that's "1 decade too late," I'd like to see a prototype

Sorry for saying so, but this seems like a weird axe to grind. I think your initial comment got downvoted because it seemed sort of like a backhanded criticism; but now it seems sort of like you just wanted to show that you'd read Google's

I am by no means an expert on financial markets, but my layman's observation is that the internet seems to have changed the whole equation dramatically. In 1980, it would have been almost completely impossible for a new-ish company a few ye

Well - you made a blunt statement that seems at the very least unintuitive without backing it up at all. The part of this policy that sticks out at me in this regard is this: >> We do not sell your data to advertisers or any third

Yeah, I think we're in general agreement. With RAID that is the way RAID is supposed and expected to be, the chance of silent failure very, very small.
46.
by koeselitz 14y ago
Yes, the purpose of RAID is not to fail silently; but it's hardware, and hardware can be flawed. That's just a fact. There are different levels of RAID precisely because there are different levels of redundancy - that is, different extents

It seems like the best outcome here would be if both companies chose better, more accurate names. I was thinking maybe "WhosAnOverLitigiousFounder" and "WhosAHyperAggressiveConcernTroll."

by koeselitz 14y ago
"Tend to fail silently" is different from "could fail silently at some point, though it is unlikely." You are correct that RAID controllers shouldn't be the former; however, there is absolutely no way to prevent RAID controllers from being

This is exclusively for jailbroken phones. Shouldn't you be more upset at the people who are jailbreaking their phones?

Forced touch-typing really is a useful learning mechanism. I have this experience, and I notice it seems to be true for most people: I know most common keys, but am not aware of the positions of less-common ones even if they are more import

That's true, Memorial Day is about remembering those who gave their lives serving our country in the armed forces. So I suppose we'll have to wait until next year to commemorate Bradley Manning's life on Memorial Day.

No, absolutely not. An awful news reporting agency would say "creationists think X, but evolutionists rip them to shreds." That is bad news reportage. Good news reportage would say "creationists say X, evolutionists say Y, the facts that ar

Extremely roughly: Locke was an idealist of liberty; Hobbes rationalized the social contract by pointing out that people are bastards and that life without it is nasty, brutish, poor, and short.

Wouldn't that mean you're drinking Konqueror kool-aid?

I think if you drink Google kool-aid and Apple kool-aid at the same time, it balances out.

One may believe that it's unscrupulous to undercut another company and co-opt their ideas without believing that the software patent system is tenable or just. Similarly, I believe lying is generally unethical; but I certainly don't believe

I'm in the US, and it doesn't look like it's available yet. I'm just searching the App Store on my iPhone, though; I'm not sure if things show up there later or something.

I can't edit any more, but I've looked around, and this clearly isn't true. For some good details on the size of the Linux project, check out the beginning of this talk by Greg Kroah-Hartmann, one of the chief kernel devs; it's from 2008, b

I don't think that's true, although I'll admit I don't know the numbers. How many people are active on the FreeBSD Core Team? How many commits per day do they see?

He's not really a project manager for Linux, to clarify what was said above; he is the coordinator of development of the Linux kernel, the very heart of the GNU/Linux operating system. For what it's worth, this is the largest software proje
