Really cool, although the line "You're running Ruby version 1.8.7" right after it was deprecated in the latest rails beta is a bit of a downer.. but still really cool!

Devil's advocate (another in a long list of threads here): I really like this model, and that the people actually creating contents receive good benefits cutting out the middle man.. however There's this (I think correct) assumption that

Well, it'll have to be for a long time for it to be REALLY inconvenient. Google's cache will still allow you to access some of its content, what may be enough for some people. But yes, hope they go for it and stop SOPA.

I worked for about 3 years for an spanish law website which main business goal is to provide a centralized access point to legal documents for lawyers, and transforming PDFs to text was a regular task to do. We used perl and lots of PDF -&#

I have the latest version, and still have to restart the browser from time to time. Otherwise, it becomes impossible to use. When I check Process Explorer, the browser is using up to 1.6 GB regularly. Doesn´t sound right to me at all.

The amount of money the central bank parceled out was surprising even to Gary H. Stern, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis from 1985 to 2009, who says he “wasn’t aware of the magnitude.” It dwarfed the Treasury Department

Monsanto said the same thing about their genetically enhanced crop. Now those genes that rendered those crops resistant to roundup, have been transfered to other plants such as amaranto.

Doesn´t work for me. After I get my mind off the issue at hand and do an errand, when I come back I´m at the same position I was before. Sometimes even worse, because of the context switching.

Something that helps when acknowledging I´m procrastinating is to fast forward to the future and think: How will I feel after I´ve wasted a perfectly good day doing nothing, when the day before I told myself I was so going to do all of thos

A second concern is that the engineered lethality gene could somehow be transferred to other environmentally-important insects, such as those vital for pollination. Really? And they still released them into the wild? What about the conseq

A while ago people were accusing them of not being journalists, and therefore shouldn´t be protected under whatever law journalists are protected. Now they´re being more about journalism, but that doesn´t imply that the facts and the cables

You're right, it carries a more negative point of view. But for me that´s what really gets me going: remembering that I´ll be dead in the future prompts me to enjoy this day to its fullest. Also, it helps not to stress so much over anything

Great advice. I find a bit more interesting the "Memento Mori" motto. Same idea, though.

You´re going to have to say more than that to convince me to even put my email there.

Why do you think one thing excludes the other? Why do you imply that helping others is "outside the real world"? I´m single, but my experience with people I know tells me otherwise, unless of course your wife doesn´t share the same desire o

Couldn't agree more. Living in Argentina, it´s difficult for me to find a market for an iPhone app, or to try to make money out of a web application. However, there are lots of unsolved problems here, some of which may be addressed with sof

I've been on this network for about 4 years now (maybe less, can't remember), and it really worked for me, I've met several people there and had a really good time doing so. What I think provides the most value for the user is location, as
