>but I've always rejected this argument, and here's why: Terrorism is not about numerical risk, it is about public perception. Isn't that exactly what the article and the argument is getting at?

Yet the lesson is not the same for someone like in the article. If someone who gets a fine for $50 and can afford to pretend it never happened, then they should probably...? Be like Justin Bieber and plow through neighborhoods at 90mph? A p

I'm starting to think not many people actually read the article. Though to be fair, the first 3 or so pages are just build up, and I almost ejected out of skepticism, too.

>I am not entirely convinced that it was so, but I do think it is reasonable that a few days is not sufficient time to understand the full magnitude and novel nature of such an event. The article addresses this.

This may be common knowledge to some, but it wasn't to me: I complained about titles to a friend who writes for a pretty big site, and she pretty much admitted that the author's don't really pick/control the titles. The editors do, and it r

Studying history is always useful. We should have known from WW1 what happens when we don't help rebuild effectively, and from WW2 what happens when you do, simply speaking. Yet we pretty much ignored all that info for Iraq. Also, "intentio

Not so much to me. There are legions of artists creating non-software works/products/pieces/whatever that have to worry about non-existent revenue stream (or don't worry about it at all). Greatness in their craft is not really linked to the

The problem arises when it isn't the same. Black forest ham, for instance.

The GS3 screen was destroyed by the iPhone 5's from lab tests. Maybe he's going off that (which, wouldn't be fair to the GS4, but it's an explanation to his possible bias). To be fair, you are one of the few (actually the first for me perso

Safari has a pretty powerful bookmark sync as well, if you've set up iCloud correctly. All my bookmarks are synced across devices. I can also look up what tabs are open on other devices (provided the same user is logged in). With that in mi

I would suggest taking your own advice. The example was hyperbolic, but it was meant to be. It was meant to highlight the underestimation and oversimplication of his comment. Then again, with generalizations like "that New Yorkers say" and

This is exactly it, and the app for me was not doing learned expected behavior. "Learned" as in, beyond jasonlotito's black and white expected behavior. When I leave it on silent, I want all non-essential audio off, but if I'm going to play

The new mouse detects double touch to show a context menu, though right? At least that's what I heard. I've always immediately discarded the included mice, windows or pc, for a logitech.

I agree it would have been over the line, if it hadn't been so desperate. It sounds like it was do or die - in that sense, it shouldn't be interpreted as a strategy, reckless or not. Everyone involved admits it was a gamble. I get the feeli

Well, until the North Korean civilian populace rises up and overthrows their dictator, they deserve what they get. They seem to really enjoy it. You can't get some rice, but you can sing songs of praise about your God King. But there's prob

To be fair, it was adapted from a speech called "Notes to My Daughter: On Becoming A Woman" delivered at a historically women's college (it appears to be co-ed now) co-sponsored by the Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies department. Some co

Relax :). Everything is a generalization or simplification, unless you're looking at research papers all day. And those will make for dry conversation eventually, in addition to halting pretty much all efficient communication. "BUT WAIT, wh

Utopia has the same connotation, so I guess that makes sense.

Hmm, is there a critique of the feminist movement in there? I didn't really see one. There might be one of Title IX specifically. I think it more likely that she is merely attempting to qualify herself against feminist extremists that would

I would edit that into the post. Right now, "It's hard to say whether this was due to the startup or because the competitor was a female and thus had more attention to detail" sounds quite different.

Mine seems to. Shrug There's always a counter-anecdote somewhere, I guess. Back when the iPhone 4 was new, my friend had some kind of HTC Android, and he would beam about how he could run a tool that would help him micromanage battery pow

Don't know about the "I would argue" part but this part, "IAP is not meant for selling bombs. IAP is meant for selling full version of an app from within a demo" looks like a claim.

I didn't really think so. I thought GooGoo Fanboy was apt satire myself. The hyperbole of the original poster clearly showed that he/she was already very entrenched anyway. And considering it's possible that debating someone's strongly held

To me, the vocal, diehard android fan is akin to the Fast and the Furious crowd so proud that they can modify their cheaper Hondas/Scions/Dodges to be as [insert adjective of choice] as a more expensive German luxury car. When really, nobod

Quite the rose-tinted glasses you got on there. Relax. Besides, I'm not sure which is worse: spoiled children or slightly delusional children. Remember when Android didn't have Chrome? Or any version prior to ICS really. But whatever floats
