I'm sure if you had that kind of student-teacher ratio in normal schools students would perform better anyway.

Just about every single person who uses the internet in any way is in Google's positive column. They might not be a positive for the Fiber division alone, but given where the vast majority of Google's income comes from, Fiber will have a lo

Padmapper was that solution. Are you asking why nobody has made a website that competes directly with Craiglist, but with a better interface? Padmapper allows you to post listing directly, but it's very difficult to get buyers or sellers

But if you let anybody use your library, and you don't own the copyright to the content, why are you allowed to stop people from snapping photos of the books and posting them on the web? It's one thing if the copyright holders asked you to,

The vast majority of useful data (for the areas that I have looked for apartments, at least) comes from Craigslist. When Padmapper can't use that data, I can't use Padmapper. I'm not talking about the legal, or even ethical aspects of the s

Because we're also a community of apartment seekers, and Padmapper makes Craigslist's data many times more useful. It's fine if Craigslist wants us to use their mapping service, but it doesn't exist yet . It's a purely selfish argument, bu

London had to bring in the army largely because the private firm that had the contract to provide event security completely failed to hire enough security guards, and this became apparent far too late for London police to raise the necessar

On the one hand, a human cell is many times more complex than the cell simulated here (you could say that each of the hundreds of organelles in a human cell are closer in size and complexity to a bacterium than the whole cell). On the other

Assuming their QA is good enough for most customers, being cheaper is a pretty obvious benefit.

Customers?

It's cheaper.

I have also heard this. If you're going to install something new anyway, you're just letting them subsidize your new computer. I don't have a problem with this.

He's just saying it's not conspiratorial, it's blatantly part of the U.S. Code. Microsoft isn't colluding with the government behind closed doors, they're complying with the laws necessary to move into a slightly different market. Whether i

Maybe not surprising, but still having EPEAT certification is not something I would take for granted. If Toshiba was using significantly different manufacturing techniques than everybody else, or if they started making it impossible to repl

When given the option to choose who to trust, the vast majority of users will stay with the defaults, which are chosen by Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla. That's not fundamentally different from what's currently in place. Tack is much more i

I'm afraid I haven't been enlightened. How else can the PKI be structured while providing the same amount of security? Is public/private key cryptography itself fundamentally flawed? What's the alternative?

I don't understand how this helps ISPs. If they aren't also cable TV providers, what incentive do they have to cut off customers? Forwarding C&D emails can't be that expensive, can it?

Microsoft probably has the most experience with supporting enterprise customers. Apple is largely consumer-oriented and Google is something else entirely. They might match each other on features, but that's not all businesses look for.

As somebody currently looking for an apartment, I wholeheartedly agree with his claim. It's fine if craigslist wants me to use their competing mapping service, I would even pay them a small fee for it, but if they don't have one yet then I

Indeed, 1 google developer is going to be north of $100K/year, and if you're going to trust them to run a project, even a zombie one, probably significantly higher. Even worse is the loss of their expert advice and productivity on projects

"Scrabulous" the name is a pretty obvious ripoff of "Scrabble," so that's not really a great example. However, the Mino case is certainly very interesting.
