This has been a point of contention for quite a while now -- see, for example, "Deep Hot Biosphere." Wonder what the peak oil folks will say...

“Just because money doesn’t buy happiness doesn’t mean money cannot buy happiness,” says Elizabeth Dunn I think this is incorrect. The correct phrase, in my opinion, would be: money doesn't buy happiness, but it can prevent unhappiness.

I was in Oslo last week - there's large parts of town where it's quite easy to tell the difference. Anyway, this isn't the right forum for this discussion...

There's a massive difference between the emigration of a very smart, talented person who is eager to assimilate and contribute to society, and immigration involving large numbers of people who are unskilled and have no intention of becoming

I completely disagreed with you, but that didn't mean I voted you down... What's going on here, people? Can we protect a variety of differing opinions on things, or are we going to be passive-aggressive about people who don't share our wor

It's been around for years now, and it's pretty much an accepted utility across the board. Remember, carriers get to charge extra for the Blackberry data plan.

Change your brand name NOW and contact the media everywhere explaining what has happened. 1. You get tons of traffic. 2. Lots of people know about you. 3. Zillow's competitors are now interested in acquiring you as well. 4. Zillow is now in

There aren't any rules about this, and anyone who tells you that there are hasn't been doing this for very long. Unfortunately, however, equity is one of those places where you have to assert yourself and potentially be a temporary asshole

Wow. If you read this story carefully, you begin to understand that Apple totally copied Sony's Playstation model for the iPhone and its application platform. Applying music development/sales disciplines to the videogame market seems to b

If this actually becomes a big deal, it will be a massive economic problem - remember, it's not just the people who get sick who are the problem, but also the people who change their behavior/consumption based on risk mitigation. On the ot

It's more than that, though. If you were around in the 90s, you'd know that Scripting News was, like, THE weblog. Everyone read it. Bill Gates famously read it, along with lots of other people in the tech world. Winer's writing was very

The thing that concerns me about running on concrete in general is the impact on your knees. Would be interested to know if you / anyone else has done research on this matter; I'm basing my concerns on advice given to me by an orthopedic s

Interesting idea ... I wonder if it's possible in shoe form. My feet sink quite a bit (half a foot, perhaps more) with each step when running, so perhaps it'd be more of a new form of ultra-high-end treadmill? That'd require quite a bit

I run 5 miles barefoot every day. It's seriously so much more enjoyable than running with shoes on ever was. In fact, I didn't run at ALL until I went barefoot. It is also a very tough, rewarding workout on the right surface - for exampl

What a bunch of sensationalistic crap. Tons of companies exist solely for organizational (as in, keeping things neat and orderly) purposes, and as pass-through entities into other companies. There's nothing shady or tax-evasive about this

What a bunch of BS. The whole industry does nothing but copy itself. Hello - FriendFeed? Where do you think they got the newsfeed idea from? It only makes sense that innovation would cycle back to Facebook.

The financial industry has long been populated with far too many lazy, incompetent people with Ivy-league degrees and egos. I work with a bunch of older guys who are from the non-Ivy-dominated era of Wall Street, and it really appears this

This type of stuff gets voted up here all the time, and I don't really get it. If you need someone else to tell you how to be an entrepreneur, you're doing it wrong. Imagine Ty Warner trying to find online gurus to guide his cloth animal b

> Beal shrank his bank's assets because he thought the loans were going to blow up. He cut his staff in half and killed time playing backgammon or racing cars. I have always respected a man who drives his cars hard and plays a mean game

If I were a shareholder, I'd much rather have them pay me a dividend than enter the distracting world of venture capital. These types of moves inevitably risk turning the company into yet another bloated enterprise, even if they are succes
