People should have full information.. I should know if the building I move into is made from plaster of paris. However, if I still want to move into it... I shouldn't be passing on my genes.

I'd like to say this should not be legislated, and people should choose who to do business with on their own. If they offer the government a bond to cover losses, then people might go to that business instead of some startup. OTOH, perhaps

What you're describing is often considered to be good code. Maintainability is quite often the most important thing when it comes to coding. Cryptic code, though sometimes a tad bit harder to understand, is often preferable when it substant

You could write a best-selling cookbook on this stuff. Format the book to cater to people that can only buy their supplies, with separate sections on more self-sufficient things (like growing vegatables, knowing farmers, etc.) and link to/c

Could we have a hybrid? We don't need to see the exact number... what if massively upvoted (100+ points) got a green highlight on the "link" URL, and massively downvoted (-10 or more) get shaded, like they already do? This keeps the content

Agreed. I'm glad that he sees foreign companies as competitors... I'm not itching to get in a fight with China or Russia, but they're frenemies. We shouldn't be giving them any more than we have to.

I've had it for a little bit, but I went back to Ubuntu Classic when I saw I couldn't add a "Show Desktop" to the panel... Between gnome-do and the window snapping feature a-la Windows 7, "Ubuntu Classic" works well for me. Besides, I'm exp

Yep, exactly. I'm glad we're on the same page. Or, perhaps overreaching bureaucracies should be eliminated and allow these united states to handle their own populace as they see fit, while abiding by the Constitution.

Did he list any of those as being what he wants localized? Did he say every "little city" should do it? In principle, he's absolutely right. A weaker military, less intrusive FDA/EPA, no social security would be nice.

Why not make a website that could take my zip, or use smartphone location services? you've reduced your potential user count, espectially since it's a free app.

I think the site would benefit from a chart of place vs. type of restriction (total, commercial, fees, etc.)

1) That's the point. It wants to be similar to gold. We traded based on a third party commodity (gold/silver) until 1974 and did alright. 2) So? I don't see your point. The goal of BTC is not to eliminate fees, but to make digital currency

I've started remedying this for myself. What I did: Told myself not to go to Fark, Reddit, 4chan, or any adult websites. Slashdot, Drudgereport, and Hacker News were allowed for personal reasons (they have interesting content and news while

There isn't an issue with that. As a technical user, I find the article interesting and had facts I didn't know about. Voxer sounds cool.

Server edition is significantly different from all other editions. It uses different kernel settings (tick level and scheduler), and there is a large delta in the packages used.

Note to self: don't use a product these devs create. Or, don't ever depend on 'beta' programs for anything. I get that you have to do your own thing for your life, but what a way to let people down. You had two options for supporting exist

UT, A&M, TTU (Good for Business, Math and Enginnering), Rice, Baylor.... OK, five. Actually, U of H is picking up the ball in a lot of areas, too.

Implying that cryptography is just math and the FBI somehow wants to criminalize end-to-end. Which I don't think is the case... Does anyone think totally encrypted storage and transport for files and email has a market?

Anyone else notice the first comment on the blog? I think the counterpoint is an interesting one: SF is an expensive place to live, and I've never been a fan of California's politics (an opinion, obviously). Meanwhile, Texas is a beautiful

I'm just glad there's a Fry's in Webster, Texas modeled after the ISS. Such a wonderful place to go with friends before a LAN party.

Call it "HTML5 Utility Belt" and the article's argument goes away. (I was going to say it "evaporates", but it's all hot air already.)

As a network engineer on the voice team of a bank, I disagree. Voice is not worthless. A more accurate headline would be "Dedicated voice plans on current-generation smartphones are becoming marginalized".

It keeps the hot attic air in homes from heating the air. Yes, it's insulated, but this would be even more effective.
