And if you posted on this thread after telling yourself you really would code your ass off today... Seriously, though, sometimes taking short breaks can cause you to be more productive than just slogging through. Not all trips to the inter

I don't think having a more engaged audience is necessarily that good of a metric to look at. The more popular a website is, the more casual viewers it will attract. The fact that justin.tv has such a high viewership time may have more to

It would be pretty hard to explain why without explaining 90% of the plot. Fortunately, there is wikipedia, which will do the spoiling for me - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010:_Odyssey_Two

Having been present at my own dog being put to sleep, I can say being put to sleep can be pretty awful for the animal, too. My dog had terminal cancer, and was clearly suffering, but given the choice, he would have chosen to live. He cert

Open source 3d printing machine: http://reprap.org/wiki/Main_Page It can make many of its own components so is at least partially capable of self replicating.

Even then, the govt pays for the basic research from which any number of consumer products are derived. The government is essentially producing the technology, they just are shrink wrapping it and making a buck off of it.

Let's not go crazy here. China is bad. But just like comparing people you disagree with to Hitler is silly, so is saying a government is worse than the ones in 1984. The only government on Earth that even comes close is North Korea's. T

But you can say that about any essay with a well constructed thesis. Given that a well constructed thesis is considered a hallmark of "good" writing, you can say that about any "well written" essay. My point being that supporting evidence

I think you aren't giving the table the credit it deserves. The fonts aren't ordered by rank at all. They are arranged by class (grotesque on the left, proceeding to geometric and didone on the right). I'll admit though, the rules don't s

Nate Silver's post has absolutely nothing to do with forecasting. Why include a quote about forecasting? The BLS (bureau of labor statistics) numbers do indeed have some problems with the way they are calculated. Any way you choose to cal

"We don’t build anything here anymore, outside of tech." Not true. http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2010/02/us-manufacturing-is-n... We make plenty, it's just that (thanks to innovation) we don't have as many workers making the same amount

Actually, it ran fine for me in chrome, too. I guess the first viewing was safari's fault.

"Animation can be a little jumpy 1st time around..." No kidding. It played horribly on my 3-year old macbook. This is the sort of thing that played smoothly on flash back in 90's. I want css3 animation to replace flash very badly, but th

What an exceptionally well argued point. I particularly like the author's argument, because the only behavior that apple would have to change would be its warranty policy; it wouldn't force apple to tear down it's walled garden, apple just

"Inventors: George B. and Charlotte E. Blonsky of New York City." Looks like a husband and wife made it together, actually. It's just mind boggling to me that more than one person thought this was a good idea.

I've noticed that it is very hard to accuse others of being morally pontificating without sounding at least a little hypocritical about it. Even the previous sentence applies to itself.

I am really not liking the whole emphasize-iphoneOS-over everything-else direction of apple recently. I like OSX a lot. I really hope they return to giving it the attention it deserves soon.

I think your comment about having read only one line of a story/article is one of the smarter comments about having read only one line of a story/article that I have ever read. Which is why I think it is safe to say that people who have on

I believe that Marty was saying it is too early to claim the bailout failed. Gm has not gone out of business, and while I would not place any money on gm thriving in the future, it is still within the realm of possibilities that they could

The idea of aliens conquering earth for sole purpose of collecting resources seems pretty ridiculous to me. Given the scale of planetary evolution, they are much more likely to be a million years more advanced than us than a couple hundred

I'm not sure I agree with everything he says (particularly the stuff about pundits trashing, the iPad; a few have, but I'd say the balance of press has been pretty heavily tilted in apple's favor), but I'm kind of blown away that I haven't

Also, in Textmate (and most modern editors) you have access to code folding. Cmd-opt-0. All of those classes become the equivalent of one liners for scanning.
