Oh, come on. How many successful startups can you list that are benevolent world-changing businesses versus how many are simply solving some technical problem or a fun distraction.

You shouldn't bite the hand that... hosts you. And it is pretty unprofessional. Ketralnis thinks he's defending his buddies but he isn't really helping the situation.

"Everybody" doesn't hate anything, perhaps all you hear are the people complaining. These projects are being accepted by various Linux users reasonably well. Any type of change is going to inspire some ire among longtime users. And I'm afra

90% of users are already on the official client (see the link to the announcement in the article) so the "fragmentation" argument doesn't hold water. I'm guessing this is the nice letter asking devs to stop developing competing client apps

Best Buy has some kind of buyback program. I don't know anything about it (like if it applies to Apple products) but they are advertising it.

Out of curiosity, can anyone describe the experience for the rest of us: How well does it work? Does it require Silverlight or some other plugin? How is the resolution? Etc. I think this is pretty huge. Facebook is obviously exploring sever

Here's the meat since 80% of the article is PR blabbering and we all already know who Red Hat is: When we released RHEL 6 approximately four months ago, we changed the release of the kernel package to have all our patches pre-applied. Why

Markus isn't saying "I think piracy is great and you should all do it" he's saying it exists and you just have to deal with it. This is kind of where I always stood (I don't pirate personally, though). If you're selling some intellectual

My issue is you restated his analogy changing the legal categories and the subjects and then disproved your interpretation. Patent law and copyright law are not the same and math's relation to software is not the same as the relation of ind

Not really. Software can be copyrighted. Words can be trademarked. Books can't be patented. Just because the analogy falls apart when you change the subjects doesn't mean the original was wrong. Though I think you can make a much stronger c

A lot of these books, while they may be useful, have a reputation that exceeds their contents. Reminds me of "cult classics" in film. Also, I can't help but wonder how many people are recommending books they haven't read.

I have a love/hate relationship with lesswrong . Every time I read one of their articles I pop open 5 links to other lesswrong articles that are being referenced. This has the potential to increase my to-read list exponentially.

Have people stopped designing for Firefox? It does not look like that for me on Firefox on Linux. The author probably just missed it because of different font availability/preferences.

The sting is even worse when you have invested time and resources already. This is why they say release early and release often. Try not to fret too much. At least you didn't spend tons of resources on an iOS app to have Apple change the
