Linkedin sent an invite to every person in my gmail account, hundreds of people, and was then spammed with pages of people accepting my friend request. I had no intention to do this, it was from a button that said "sign in with your g

Why does everyone assume China is doing industrial espionage, but nobody imagines PRISM is being used for that. If a low level employee has such access, the only question is how many people are using this to cheat the stock market? Are th

Just because people who follow the vim google group want more ide features and python integration doesn't mean thats what most vim users want. Why don't they fix the obvious flaw, mouse integration? (I know, because it would be hard)

If a developer put in enough time to correctly estimate every quote, he would spend more time estimating than working. I tend to be too optimistic in my estimates, but at least its consistent such that "double it and add a bit" turns my op

I should have done these things but I let my guard down. I'm in a city trying to be a new startup city so there was a lot of attention and money thrown at one of the first startups. Everything was given to us, everyone wanted to advise and

The common wisdom that "linux will never be viable on the desktop" is frustrating. How user friendly and problem-free does ubuntu have to get before people stop claiming this? All drivers working by default isn't good enough? To install

Whats obvious that I should have done? These guys were my friends and only acted like this because they have an advisor they trust telling them to.

I may not have been considered a real cofounder but I was there at the first brainstorming and had all of the technical ideas. I had a lot more ideas since and am building another team to start the business again. Forced to bootstrap and

I want the pi to be nice, it just isn't responsive enough to be usable. I tried the pi app store on a new 512mb pi and the recommended raspbian image. The pi store is broken, clicking on anything takes you to the library tab, a white squa

The student refuses to wear the id even with the tag removed. Can someone explain to me what she is protesting against? Why shouldn't schools know where the students are on campus and when students enter and leave campus? Attendance would
