Safety is operated by statistics, not boolean logic. Things are not either safe or unsafe. It all depends on trade-offs, and what risks we can accept in exchange of other values, such as comfort. The article mentionds, though, two worrying

Entrepreneurs. There is a profit opportunity, soon. If there is no demand for middle-aged geeks, their salaries are going to drop eventually. And, if their productivity is at least as good as young-aged geeks, it means that there is an obvi

Alex, you might be interested in Lang, Siniver, 2011[1]. What is interesting in this particular study how quickly the market acquires the information. So, if the unemployment is a global phenomenon across many different markets, in the same

Unfortunately, I do not have access to Klessinger, Szczerbinski, Varley, 2007, the publication mentioned. I have a suspicion, though, that this research would be much more productive if the researches had deeper understanding of philosophy,

By asking questions, and putting answers in different contexts. For instance, questions about the reality such as "what if?", "what makes it right?". Once there's the answer, try to find another space where it fits.

Not quite. Sometimes, free users increase the network effect; also, sometimes the longer they use the system, more likely they are to pay for it eventually.

APPL focuses on the high ROI clients. By definition, there's a limited supply of such clients, so they have to go into new markets.

Not quite. It doesn't matter, though. Please focus on the first part: "condoms exacerbated the problem of HIV/AIDS". The statement is wildly untrue, and makes the Church guilty of STD's spread.

Not quite. After 30s of googling: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7967173.stm It said the Pope's recent comments that condoms exacerbated the problem of HIV/Aids were wildly inaccurate and could have devastating consequences. The Pope had said

I wish Mozilla folks woke up. I'm on Mac and, to be honest, once you get used to Chrome, Firefox is completely unusable. It is slow, cluttered interface, w/o any major advantages over other browsers. I use Chrome on daily basis and it is p

It does not require major overhaul of the kernel. I agree that Windows' drivers compatibility is a hard task but I imagine there might be some hack. For instance, you could give up some speed, using virtualization. If such hack is not avail

Ahh, Apple. Do you realize that your only value for most of my friends is that your OS is actually a NIX beast? I wish someone had enough money to come up with decent UI on Linux (pardon me but GNOME looks and works horrible), better typo

I agree. However, I find this approach very rare. The current trend it that every erudite should read Hemingway, Nabokov, Catch 22, and many other books. I think it is worth time for some people, but not for the whole society. My approach,

Unfortunately, no. I'm a programmer and sometimes a manager, not a designer. I don't know their pains too deeply. I merely keep seeing that the period between their "aha!" moment and the final implementation is definitely too long. If I'd h

Out of curiosity, are there any Wikipedia forks? *BSD guys had a lot of similar arguments and they ended up with many flavors of BSD (OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, DragonFlyBSD etc.)

I find it surprising, too. In my experience, designers are slower than programmers. It depends on the product but usually it takes some time to tweak all Internet Explorer issues. To hijack the thread a bit: designer's tools are horrible. P

You're the essence of the problem, messieur. What's so pessimistic about it? Whatever floats your boat, pal. If books enrich you, keep reading. Do not force everyone else to do so, though. Might be that there are other sources of enlightenm

Bla, bla, bla. The most important question is, I think, why force yourself to read more books? I grew up in a family where everyone reads a lot of books. No one forced me to read books but I spent most of my childhood reading something, bei

That's why I literally love capitalism. The market does not give a heck about your little silly titles. You might be a God of the Universe, but if you cannot bring a profit, you're out.

From what I understand, it is buying a site, w/ potential, yet poor execution, and selling it for profit.

To be honest, I even don't know my remote passwords. They're completely random. I just use SSH keys. 1Password and encrypted text files serve well as a backup.
