Actually, there is very little criticism in the mercurynews article you cited about the crowdfunding. Most of the criticism is focused on other portions of the bill. Literally, all content from the article about crowdfunding is: "The crowd

Way too broad a statement. Linux is clearly a future for a large segment of users, same as OSX. Actually, let me take that back - with the new 'post PC' world coming where only techies will have laptops, Linux has a greater future. OSX will

Let me know if you disagree - but I think the comparison to unscrupulous VCs is limited to the title of the post(which, IMHO, is mis-titled). In reality, the post is about something else. I quote: " I never say “no.” But I carefully qualify

Its the bodmas rule. Wolfram is interpreting -2^2 to mean -(2^2). I am sure if you write (-2)^2 in wolfram, it will give you 4. http://www.mathsisfun.com/operation-order-bodmas.html

When I read the title I thought 'Why the hell would I want to know how to stop humor online.' The article is interesting and would be better served by a title like: Humor on the web and why to stop it (if you run a community site)
