I don't think you're actually reading the words that you're responding to. Saying that "[s]tatistically, white men have a higher chance at being well...everything," does not, in any way, assume "that white people cannot possibly be poor and

Nobody wants it both ways here. I do accept "white men only private clubs". I think they're shitty and absurd, but so be it, it's a free country. I'm not sure what you're arguing against. Nobody said they're excluding non-blacks or non-girl

What exactly do you disagree with? > Everyone can be a minority if they decide to, depending on how you cut the population. No, not if they "decide to". I think you mean that every person on the planet has minority status within any num

Just because we live with it doesn't mean we're OK with it.

Another important difference is that the 787's lower weight means it doesn't require runways to be as long, and so can land at smaller airports, opening up more flight plans and destinations. Source: guide talked about it when I went on the

He's not whining about anything except his own failure to take control of his life. I don't think he's blaming the client at all, just himself for wanting to ingratiate himself to the client when A) there's greater priorities, and B) the cl

This is the best intro I've read to get the concepts of distributed version control: http://hginit.com/ It's specific to Mercurial, but git is very similar. If it's the overall concepts that are giving you trouble, that should be effectiv

Did you read it? #1 is invalidated by the fact they're comparing his shows (sold traditionally) vs. his shows (sold independently), not his shows vs. others'. EDIT: nevermind, I get it now.

I will always upvote/retweet/point and jump at this quote when I see it. One of the most important lessons anyone can learn.

Gave it a shot. It's well-done, but there should really be an enticing reason for the visitor to sign up. If I get a link from someone and the first action I have to take is to sign up for something, 99% of the time I close it right away, u

This is fucking on-point. The Timeline is just completely useless anymore as a way of keep tabs on people I care about. I rarely care if my friend was tagged in a picture, and I never care that they commented on a wall post by some random p

Wouldn't worry about the F-bombs, but IMO italics, bold, and the like should be used quite sparingly, and typically only italics should be used for emphasis purposes (there's a reason the <em> tag typically renders as italics). I th

Also I would put the page title blurb ("use Twitter as your blog") somewhere prominently in the page text. I had to read around here to figure out what itch this was scratching.

The problem is that she just sort of smacks into that conclusion. Like it was just getting too depressing, so she tacked on a happy ending sitcom-style.

I thought of this too while I was reading, but I think the results would be pretty bland.

Looked at another article on your blog [0] and the Crayon plugin acts really strangely in Chrome/Win7. As I mouse over a code block it keeps disappearing and reappearing. EDIT: Also...where's the RSS link? If I just follow on Twitter, I'll
