Interesting perspective, thanks. (For some reason simply giving you a point didn't seem like enough.)

Well you have to make a choice to some degree. If you postpone school till you're 40 the job market might not accept you. If you don't attempt your startup while young you might not have the energy.

I need to give my Arduino some love. Too much time in software land, stuff like this makes me remember how much fun hardware can be.

You can live on a few dollars a day if you eat unhealthy food. In my experience this is only true about processed and prepared foods. Check the price on dry beans or rice in bulk. If you're willing to bake your own bread the cost is com

One under-appreciated reason is storage. Frozen meat and most of the accoutrements can be stored for vastly longer and remain "fresh". Highly processed food products are all about preservation, to their nutritional detriment.

Just want to add: * You can't easily save an object for personal use, such as a photo or video. * No mute button, it's up to the content creator to do that. Is anything on the web more annoying? * Overuse. Purely a matter of taste, but ev

Either computers would be useless novelties or they would be mainstream and lose the hacker/counterculture status. Those are the only two options. Maybe you don't look at your cell phone or nintendoDS and think "hmm, there must be some wa

Or, say, tactile sculpture. I'd argue all art requires audience participation. Suspension of disbelief on film, hell any symbol or metaphor in any medium has to be actively analyzed.

I started writing a big long winded argument but really, Ebert is trolling here. Creating controversy for his own benefit. His rambling half formed ideas, much use of spurious philosophical definitions of 'Art', make me think he doesn't r

The nature of that ideology makes it possible for you(or anyone) to make a distribution with closed drivers and even sell it, if the driver developers allow that. No one is protecting the keys to the Linux kingdom, you could be one of those

The macs I use daily are admittedly old, G4s, but it's the same problem. When something like winamp runs so very well on old PCs you have to wonder if playing music really needs all that overhead.

We are rich because they are poor. The horror of the problem is only ever counterbalanced for me when other people recognize the macro-feudal nature of our economy.

I agree with this. Part of the problem is full featured computers have been the only game in town for a long time. Really they have been oversold to people who only need something like an iPad. I just think it's disappointing that, given

People will buy it because of the hype, they think it will meet their needs, and those perceived needs will be defined in the marketing. Really it's about fear, the fear of learning. People now know they need a computer, but they're terrifi

I can (and do) use Vonage, or scads of other IP-based carrier You're missing the point, services like voip could end up priced arbitrarily in the interest of the carrier. What if non-AT&T voip services were priced out of the market?
