You can choose which ads to block, some people only block the most annoying ones at pages they frequent. If you have an older computer, flash ads really do slow things down considerably, for instance.

Years of inaccurate predictions aside, does the company have bigger problems than new hit hardware can't solve? Who knows, it's all pure speculation. Can they hang on for years in a lul? Well that's pretty obvious.

A very similar article could have been written before the original DS or Wii debut. And many were.

Or just, avoid stress by working a reasonable amount of time and planning your meals. I think they call that working smarter.

All are illegal under federal law. What's it called when laws are enforced for some people and not others?

This is selective enforcement. All the more insulting when sending kids and innocent people to jail for simple cannabis use in other areas.

I know this is tongue-in-cheek, but none of the "skills" mentioned are very valuable. People one hundred years ago also took every convenience available. Maybe your average turn of the century citizen could use a radio, but few

Agreed. This also creates the problem of avoiding fundamentals. Is javascript really so bad we need to work exclusively in frameworks? Does CSS really need pre-processing? I think the answer is 'sometimes', but these days peopl

The factor I think he missed: All those managers timing trades in their random way has a randomizing effect on the system overall. But I'm not an economist, any ideas if or how that influence manifests?

Gamers don't fall into perfect categories of "Serious" or "Casual". There's a big market out there, and cell phone interfaces are fundamentally inadequate for at-par console equivalence.

Why would the goal be fair representation in a broken, unfair system? I swear everyone thinks third-party voters have somehow never heard the words "your vote is wasted". I vote green because I've grown very cynical and I&#x

See Bush vs. Gore in 2000. How many millions of voters thought the Democrats were so conservative they went green? After the dust settles suddenly Obama has a chance to compete with the rich old white guys. Change only comes from outside p

The article makes plain that fetishizing origin is the only way to see past the disinformation.

Learn about health and cooking, be skeptical of any products sold as 'healthy'. There's a lot of good and bad information out there. Learn as you go and make slow progress. Eat real food and learn to cook from raw ingredien

It's sad and terrible to see the last, best vestige of old media being constrained by supposed innovation.

For a recent project I decided to drop all frameworks and learn responsive design from the ground up. I was amazed how easy it is, and how little 'boilerplate' or scaffolding was needed. Obviously there are tradeoffs, I'm sur

I can't conceive a way to decouple the client's name from the fraudulent information, it's all ultimately a cheap trick that will likely be automated to disregard .

Well if you're going to put it on a desk and plug it into the wall... it's a less powerful, less expandable, vastly more expensive desktop. You buy special adapters for your extra screens/peripherals, and spend time with set

True, but then you're plugged into the wall with the computer literally ON the desk. All that hassle of docking/undocking and hauling around all the crap just seems like a waste of time to me. In a work situation, everything I do

Totally agree about desktops. Previous employer asked me if I wanted a laptop, but I prefer a large display, keyboard, etc. with a big fast machine and lots of working memory. Ergonomics are important to me, I have friends with permanent d

Sure, focus on metadata... but then, the path and other data about a file location on disk is just another facet. This is as logical as saying file sizes are obsolete. Maybe storage gets so cheap users don't need to know sizes, and on

The most interesting mods aren't OEM builds. Alienware for instance, has always focused on complete package game systems. There's a ton of innovation in that space by companies like Digital Storm: http://www.maximumpc.

So much advice here, and yet not a mention of psychology! Where are the answers? How can learning behavior be quantified and understood? I want nuts and bolts. I want hard answers to the problem of learning. I'm a self-taught profes
