I guess jerk is subjective enough that you can offer that as your opinion. But how is he a hypocrite?

Some of us have walked away from good gigs -- forfeiting ownership, abandoning products that we conceived, developed and lived and breathed -- all because someone in control started doing something evil. I have made a lot of mistakes in my

I thought his statement was over the top at first, but after I read the article I say good for him for standing up for what he thinks is right. We all know that this patent nonsense has got to stop. There is nobody building any app anywhere

I think a far more common problem is deciding which idea to pursue. It takes a lot of work, research, and magic to decide which one. Being able to work out the viability of 5 or 10 ideas with the resources of YC would be very compelling.

That was a very long article just to say what everyone already knows, "Sometimes text formatted on the Kindle doesn't look exactly like the printed copy"

Seriously, no "PMT" in c# is listed? Am I missing something or do you guys need to calculate mortgage payments so often that it needs to be a built in function of a language? There are a couple of valid points in this article, the rest is h

Possibly the only registrar worse than GoDaddy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Solutions

All I can say is wow. Not from the ordeal in the article, but that anyone can not know who Network Solutions is and that "anybody but Network Solutions" is how GoDaddy became so big. Oh how soon the internets forget.

Do you feel guilty when you skip commercials on your TiVo? I don't, sorry. An ad on a page is no different than a billboard or some other passive advertising. I am not required to notice it.

Why do these people feel the need to prove they are 'cool'? Because they aren't.

Instapaper's response sounds sarcastic to me: While “Add URL” feature was implemented to help users of Instapaper, we now understand that it was wrong to simplify the lives of the users. I think they should have, at least, added an "in th

I really hope you meant to type "prosecute" instead of what you actually put, "persecute".

Can't help but feel some sympathy for him, but it's tempered by the fact that he doesn't see the big deal with attacking servers to bring down a company. Not even going into the whole part of flipping stolen websites and the app spam. Ethic

I have a very specific disagreement with this article. I believe the research is sound and reasonable for most apps, but in the case of ShareMouse, they are competing against an entrenched free product. I use Synergy, and there are some iss

Why did this article start with a political attack? Are we seriously reduced to not being able to discuss a engineering problem without invoking politics?

You might be right, although I have seen the way some of the simpler electric cars connect power to wheel and I could see there not being a way, but hopefully the Tesla is more refined. It's interesting that they did not refute this untowab

Except we aren't talking about letting this car sit 10 years, try a few weeks or months, depending on the initial charge. If Adama had to plan for an FTL jump ever 33 days instead of 33 minutes, the Galactica crew wouldn't have been nearly

Yet another article that takes the original Bricking story to task without actually refuting any of it. So what if it's an angry owner if it's true? Congrats to them for posting the owners manual, it's pretty clear keeping the cell charged

Nobody said an electric car is maintenance free. The problem here is that it can total itself in a relatively short time just from not being used. Your statements about seized engine and deformed tires are not valid in the timeframe we are

The link to this article is down unfortunately, so I can't comment on it. But Tesla's statement did nothing to refute the article, it just stated that you have to put oil in a regular car, and that you can optionally have the car contact Te

I disagree that it was an accepted practice. I don't know of any technical person who didn't hate them from the very first time they saw one. Remember this was back during dial-up days and you had to wait forever for that crap to load. I ca

Don't you think it's odd he is complaining about splash screens when Adobe is responsible for the worst thing to ever happen to the web -- those stupid flash intros ? Talk about a waste of time, you had to wait for the time waster to load

I'd be interested in seeing some of those graphs like we saw in December to see if there is any spike in domains transferred away from GoDaddy. How many times are we gonna have to hear these horror stories before we all get moved away from

Similar case here, but it was 1984 when I was 15 and had email. Didn't have internet then of course, but BBSes were already linked, with email and forums being synced among the others in the network every night. Even then I knew I was late

Hey did you guys check out the comments section with that one guy calling BS, saying regular people didn't have access to email way back in 1995? Good stuff. I love how people assume their tiny reality is the reality.
