This is a good review, and I'm enjoying it thus far; I have my degrees (a bachelor's and a master's) in philosophy, and this is a subject that interests me. Regardless of my (lack of) regard for Ayn Rand, I won't indulge in any trolling her

... and I am reminded of what a friend of mine who worked in a warehouse said to me a while ago: "This is the most idiotic job on the planet. Someday they'll have robots to do this."

For those wondering how to get rid of the background (I sure was) - just 1. Sign in to Google. 2. Click the white "Change Background Image" link in the lower left-hand corner. 3. Select "Editor's Picks." 4. Scroll all the way to the bottom,

Ah - blessed relief. Quoth Google: "Please be assured these images will only be displayed today, and the homepage will return to its regular white background tomorrow." See the response from one "Paul" (Google Employee) here: http://www.go

Doesn't work for me. I get the background no matter what. I've tried typing in every permutation. It's like they locked me out of removing the background. Ugh.

Richard Feynman is kind of a jerk. Edit: What I mean is: How condescending is it to write someone a letter saying that they don't understand people, and they should try falling in love?

This article is flatly wrong. Some early Romans may well have used so-called 'Roman numbers,' which retained some common use among the masses throughout the years; but any Roman of real education, particularly a Roman geometer or mathematic

Aside from everything else, I like the new site design. I hate to say it, but the old one on SourceForge was sort of hideous. And it was kind of sad, because I really love this project - it's vibrant, and it's creating some really great thi

My reaction to this is that it's not so much "unconscionable" as mind-numbingly stupid. Yeah, I agree that it's unfair to those of us who are looking for work (I was myself most recently) but from the perspective of those doing the hiring t

Oh, I agree that my own perspectives on "a few" aren't necessarily correct. And "grammar fanboy" was just self-deprecation, not an indication of expertise; everybody uses grammar, so everybody is as much an 'expert' in how it should and

"We didn't have networks at all at the time of the MacIntosh's introduction." Seriously? Seems like that estimation might be about fifteen years off to me. Edit to say: In fact, he's an intelligent and well-versed enough guy that I'm sort o

Sorry, this is apropos of nothing, but... <grammar fanboy>In this article Lee quotes the Light Table demo as saying that it was accomplished with "with just a few lines of CSS and JavaScript," and then remarks that "I was curious as

This is interesting - and I always love the RSA hand-illustrated lectures. This is the first time I've seen a mistake in one, though: notice that at 0:59, Zimbardo clearly says that "hedonistic" people "seek NOVELTY," but the artist transcr

Yeah, I know - that's why I was sort of surprised that he seems to compare rpm with Portage. Portage isn't like rpm at all; if you're going to compare the Portage system with anything in Linux, it should be Aptitude, anyway, right?

This is interesting. The image it gives of Linux is more than a little outdated and/or out of touch, even for 2005; the author apparently hasn't touched Debian (!) which makes his criticisms of Linux installation and maintenance of packages
