You're the first person in this thread to also call it the "Trash-80" which for me is a term of endearment.

I didn't realize that 'acting like the alpha dog' meant dominance theory but I can see how that could mean that. I'm not recommending people treat their dog like a wolf that they constantly have to dominate. I don't know much about Cesar Mi

I have long thought that it's the most intelligent dogs that have the worst behavior problems. Although, it's not their fault, it's the fault of an owner who thinks they can reason with their dog using people-logic when they really need to

A 1 meter wave can deliver a lot of power but it's probably not really something that will cause much damage in a place like Japan. Keep in mind that the geography of the land will affect the incoming wave. Some geographic features can focu

I agree it's not acceptable in the US and there are plenty of times/places where huge lines work well. I'm not making any statement about black friday Free-for-all footage which in my opinion is rare and usually caused by bad policies chose

I've been living in Japan for a few years now and I think maybe people are missing one of the key features of this video. It's easy to look at a video like this and attribute it to stereotypes of the behavior of crowds in different countrie

We all know how to keep our model code separated from our view and controller code even though it's all written in the same language. I think maybe people are worried a bit too much about the language here. The final HTML is just a serializ

Most of the time, when I have heard people talking about it being doomed, it would have been a good time to back the truck up to the orchard and load up on AAPL. Usually my sell-sense starts going off when I hear Jim Cramer and other bozos

The same way we predict how the trillions of trillions of air molecules behave when we predict the weather: we build models of aggregate behavior, try to understand relationships, run simulations and test our predictions. We're not 100% rig

Pure capitalism doesn't mean no rules, just no rulers. Who enforces the rules when someone breaks them? The community? Sounds great! Do all of the people have to vote on every infraction every time? …or are we going to designate some peop

Why do you assume 'pure' capitalism the ideal we want to achieve? To me that's like saying we need to stop playing football with all of it's unnecessary rules and regulations and get to the purest form of sport: kill the man with the ball.

Thanks for the clarification. That's sort of what I had gathered but it's useful to know exactly what is guaranteed and what isn't.

Here's my question about IOPS that I can't seem to find the answer to: I get that if you have a workload that needs 1000 IOPS and you only have 500IOPS QOS provisioned, then they will get queued and you will see latency. However, if you hav

I agree. Paper is under-rated by geeks. I use a Muji A6 dotted paper notebook because the grid helps me draw boxes but is light enough to also let me ignore them when I feel like it. Some of them come with an elastic band on the cover to he

That's a really interesting idea. Perhaps in a very small way it would also help to break the binary mode of thought (upvote/downvote, like/dislike, promote/demote) that people bring from other online forums.

Have any of the other major browsers made any public statements about BrowserID or Persona? How about Paul Irish or other developer relations type people? Somebody has to have said something even if it was 'unofficial'.

I think we agree. You remember Sony for things which have no software component. The only software Sony was very good at was embedded software. I still have an original AIBO which sort of exemplifies that. I just realized that from my windo

It all boils down to a population problem. Japan is ageing and software demands huge work force. I fail to see how it boils down to that. The demographics of Japan are changing (we hear about it constantly in the western media but holy
