Movies are a waste of a perfectly good dimension. Give me a good radioshow any day instead of all this newfangled motion picture business. I may be an old man that's been around forever, but I'm always right, and here's why: 1. IT'S THE WAS

You'll have problems in Denmark - pik means dick. I must admit that I found the heading " Do more on the web with pik. " rather amusing.

Interestingly there's a scandal running in Denmark right now where a big vendor has received around $10 million to create a system much like the one you're describing. The system was a year late, and now it doesn't work and constantly crash

Maybe it's more a question of managing your competencies and making sure you're paid accordingly. If you are expected to do something over and above normal duty it should be reflected in your paycheck.

This system in the hands of rogue states must be a nightmare for the US. Especially if the claim that it can bring down a carrier craft is true.

No, it was based on product quality, not fashion. There's a huge difference between the two.

That's very true. They make great products that are very well thought of down to the last pixel-perfect detail. They draw on many years of experience and hard work to make the products they do.

I think you guys are putting way too many obstacles in the path. I live on a boat and I just moved a waterheater (~120 kilos) from port to starboard and it didn't make much of a difference on the waterline of the boat.

Interesting. Do you by any chance have links to some newbie resources? Maybe it's worth reading up on some sort of lisp. Clojure maybe?

That was my fist concern as well :-) It could probably be solved with proper fasteners and thinking about weight distribution though. Moving heavy stuff from port to starboard might be a problem but moving stuff from front to back not so mu

Aren't all languages blub languages depending on the usecase? If you write AI programs c++ is a blub language. How can you get anything done without macros? If you program drivers PHP is a blub language. How can you get anything done wi

It would be interesting to try this concept out on liveaboard boats. They have much the same problems of not enough space.

Some data instead of "I have a friend who..." anecdotal evidence would be nice. The author doesn't make a very strong claim as to why facebook ads don't work which is the whole premise of the article.

Evolution is certainly aggressive, and rewards aggressive moves. It's all about being able to better use the resources at your disposal as a species to gain an advantage. There's no sense of right or wrong in this selection process - if you

Evolution is never at an equilibrium - it's constantly changing and experimenting through sexual recombination and mutation. So the premise doesn't hold IMHO. The dodo is an example of a species that was caught off guard in this evolutionar

Evolution rewards the most vicious and aggressive species that is best at adapting to and use its environment. Since evolution is presumably also the process behind intelligent alien life I have a hard time buying the stable equilibrium of

An e-mail sent off to 64 customers is hardly conclusive evidence that these are the only ones. There are a million reasons why they might have sent e-mails to only those 64. Maybe these 64 people all complained about something specific and

If that's what you're looking for here's a blogpost I wrote that explains how to use some basic statistics to arrive at exactly the price that maximizes your profits. http://www.maximise.dk/blog/2009/01/getting-product-pricing-...
