This may be true from the producer perspective. It's difficult to get your message to millions of people at one time using the Internet. From the consumer perspective, however -- the internet is the clear winner, if you must choose one. Th

What happens when the product or company you produce puts people /out/ of work? For example, if you allow one person to do the job of 10 and a company purchases the product and lays off 9 people, is it still good? What if only 2 people wor

Responsible fiscal policy means spending less money. It means eliminating the IRS. It means the elimination of fiat currency. It means not spending money on guns, military bases, and other things that we just don't need. Ron Paul gets hi

I like Ron Paul because he is honest. He says the truth, even when it isn't in his best interest. When I listen to him, he says the things that I have come to believe over time through independent study and research regarding the world aro

I agree, a lot of them are. But not all of them. Some of them are quite thoughtful and rational people.

With all the layoffs over there and the cost of living and the ability for technomads to live anywhere and build great companies, I see no reason for Silicon Valley to remain there. I know they were using the term as a metaphor, but SV peop

His comment was awesome. I like Robert Scoble a bazillion times more than Kevin Rose. I know Robert's geeky and nerdy and a little bit kind of strange, but he's awesome. A lot more awesome than Kevin Rose. Did you know Kevin Rose paid som

There's a philosophical undertone here that I can't quite put my finger on. "Do what you love" is just a saying. It implies a lot of things. One of those things is that you have do what you love for money. Get a job doing what you love.

Now my mind is going crazy with the "faith" part of it. Having faith seems naively optimistic and hopeful. It feels right now like we, or at least I, need faith in something. God's not going to help us -- we might be the evil ones. Obama,

I think people are wising up. We are beginning to demand truth in advertising. When we are lied to, we are walking away. When we had lots of money, we would tolerate it, but not anymore. In times of surplus, we can act without reason, but i

All I did was scan the article for a mention of archive.org and there was none and I was once again reminded of how these big media outlets get technology soooo wrong... This will continue to happen. As technology continues to "grow" expon

Do what you love and the money will follow. If the money doesn't follow, you'll still be doing what you love and that's worth more than money. People like being around people who are doing what they love. But not a lot of people like being

omg, this question is painful. HTML and CSS are skills that are worth your /time/. Forget the money. You can improve your /own/ life with HTML and CSS. The more you know, the more powerful you are! Have you ever been approached by someone

Any computer smart enough to pass the turing test would be so bored talking to the average human that it'd give up and choose failure. When we think of smart computers, we think the computer should be smart enough to answer our questions.

Terrible. This is not science. I do not at all agree with the conclusions. There is only a correlation, but the cause/effect relationship they infer is shady at best.

While working as a web developer at a Fortune 500, we had these same sort of issues. Web sites would go down and we'd get a call from someone trying to use it. This was 10 years ago... To learn about and fix these problems before the cust

I think 10 recommendations seems excessive. Good programmers wouldn't waste their time working for a company that required them to bother that many people, just so you could figure out if they were a good programmer. Think of it as a barri
