I thought the USA was the model of capitalism. However it appears the opposite, monopolies run rampant. The free market is killed rather than encouraged.

I feel a little sullied that the reporter published this before the family knew. I'd rather wait to hear.

Microsoft have a patent on the ribbon bar. You are meant to ask them for a licence if you implement one. Unless you are using a Microsoft control. Also the interface takes up screen space on the horizontal when we have wide screens. A sideb

This is the difference between a software developer and a senior software developer. I never release anything on a Friday OR the day before a holiday. ALWAYS plan it afterwards, give any technical reason you like (solar flares). Project man

That is a very dangerous way to act. If you glanced at another patent. Then 6 months later create a similar sounding patent. File that and the original patent holder can claim you stole their idea. Weblogs would should you looking at it and

Putting aside the merits of the case, it raises a question of should social networks be doing facial recognition to validate photos that are uploaded? They surely could get a probability match as to the likeliness that you would be in a pho

I'm the kind of person that always look at the positive in every situation. Which often makes me seem callous, this is one of those times. I see the average getting fatter and therefore that makes me more attractive because I am tall a

I am not being funny but that whole website should be shut down. It's clearly hindering democracy. If you want to affect change, write a letter to your local representative. Do not spend 60 seconds putting your email address into a ran

Like book shops libraries need to move with the times. Adding a DVD section isn't it. That just makes them like blockbusters. They should be local archives of local things, with content online. Plus free Internet terminals and wifi.

I saw Derren Brown perform a trick in which he stated that it was proven in maths that changing your mind is the better thing to do. He presents 3 boxes, you pick one. He eliminates one and asks if you want to change. You are going from a 3

Another way to look at it is that the best minds are thinking about how to optimise capitalism. They are doing that and in effect we are all getting a better more efficient society. Plus the best minds aren't working on world peace bec

A colleague of mine likes to short cut a customer discussion about features by suggesting "We just add an option/tick box". He knows I hate him saying that but he feels happy everybody thinks he's found a solution. When

Taking off my tin foil hat for a moment, I would propose that encryption adds latency which they felt most users didn't care about. However most users demand land line quality voice.

I cannot believe that people have forgotten the reason you have to keep information from your government. Its not that you have nothing to hide right NOW. Its that if someone later got into power that wanted to suppress everybody that didn&
