So at this point every company has dirtied its hands with Software patent suing. So I'm guessing pretty much nobody is about to try and stop the madness since it would make them seem as if they are hypocrites or whiners (these cases take fo

It's nice that Odio gets to call the outcome on the experiment. Secondly, is he still stealing money from it?

If you have a take-a-penny-leave-a-penny jar, and somebody comes and takes 500$ worth of pennies. Do you think they are possibly abusing the system? Or if someone said "Hey guys I brought this cake in for everyone to have some." and then so

This article is pre-espresso, pre-percalator, and pre-vac pot even. I would get a lot of stomach aches, grogginess and coffee burn out from drinking regular drip. Though he is describing some sort of weird tea-like method for drinking coffe

Why does a project that's about a minor form of good will always need to be trumped by something else? Like we need to be incessantly reminded that there are starving people for every decision we make in our day to day lives? It's nice that

Yes, Google is such an innovative and constructive company. I imagine that they will make it up to us with a brand new innovative product that we can use while on the toilet.

The proposal is that an Open Source Printer be designed and adopted by a manufacturer. Who will design the printer to be easily and cheaply refilled? So, they will basically destroy any profit they could make by building this sort of printe

White supremacy did not invent hegemony. It's a fallacy. There are people who say that places like Africa or North America was peaceful before the europeans. Unfortunately they were both very active places where people would kill their neig

I think the argument is that Google is being predatory with their business, and whining when it doesn't always go their way. They want to be cut throat, destroy other peoples business, but they don't like the blow back. Oh, and they whine a

One wrong part of this article is that Google ever said they wanted to tear down patent law. They actually said in their blog post that they wanted to buy patents and have the Nortel sale reversed and made illegal (making Google the only l

So wrong. MSFT only invited them and Google turned them down flat. So there was not negative agreement that you are clearly inventing. Obvious that would be a raw deal, thanks for assuming that it would go that way. Just so you know, 99% of

Duh, if they were in on the group bid, they would be co-owners of the patents, so they couldn't be used against them. Google has a pattern of martyring itself over these sales. Especially when they big the value of Pi for the Nortel patents

Stop dreaming. Read Googles blog post. Google wants to be secure by buying up patents and over turn the Nortel patent sale. They are just whining that they don't have a toy too. Nobody is talking about overthrowing the patent system except

Google is lying if they are pretending that Apple and MSFT have started the software patent issues. And they clearly could have tried harder for the Nortel patents if they wanted to. How about try to not just bid a magical number but actual

I was pretty interested in Instructables until they went premium. Trying to figure out what the images show and a bunch of other issues is pretty annoying. It's just not a resource I check when I'm starting projects.

I also don't think it's particularly hard to do the x,y frame setups either. Just start by drawing boxes on a piece of paper. Figure how things interrelate, make the code, tweak the margins.

The world also needs more poster re-designs for Kubrick movies. Here's my ideas for 2001, remember that scene at the beginning on a space station? That would make a good poster. What about Clockwork Orange? They could use the Ludivigo exter

Not really. Firstly because not every invention can so easily be produced. What if I patent something to do with space travel? What if it's something that isn't simply a software paradigm? And if it is just something that can be done in sof

I imagine that's why he even mentioned him. Though I don't understand why he mentions Ellison and Bezos. This is like the King of France giving up his position so he can be the King of England. Gates? Ballmer? Padding the list I guess.

This is cool. Mac OS X is really moving away from dependence on having an optical drive or any other external. I have and SSD instead of optical and it's a nightmare to disk first aid or re-install os x.

Yes, a good manager takes responsibility when something like this happens (as the author does). But how many good managers are there? It should be more clear on who's at fault, maybe the bad managers will turn around about that. I saw an ol
