In the U.K. at least you are required to have experienced driver in the car every time you drive until you pass your test, this in effect is a lesson because they are required to pay attention and point out your mistakes. If every new compu

30.2% of the world have internet access, so it's fair to assume many have not used a computer and will not know anyone who has when they start, especially in Africa when penetration is only 11.4% ( http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.ht

No search engine that I could find [Google, Bing, Duck Duck Go, Dopile, Ask - though the logo is close] specifically prompts you on how to use it. For example they could say "What are you looking for?" for new users.

If you have a photo that's all in focus (i.e. f15 aperture or something) you can throw parts out later with using masks in a photo editing tool, though it's time consuming. I'd suggest you could get a similar effect with a camera that had t

The people in those companies that Facebook bought are not just engineers, they are also people who can see a gap in a market and create a good product to meet the need. They are not typically the people that apply to for jobs, especially a

College is a system created to create employees so it's not surprising many entrepreneurs think of it as a waste of time (and money, especially in the expensive US system) Most people however are better off as employees, starting a company

My comment was a direct response to "It's a Lotus Elise that outperforms the Lotus Elise on straightaways. Faults or not, I have a hard time believing that they're aren't going to sell cars based on that fact alone."

The point of a Lotus Elise is that it has excellent handling, you don't buy it for straight line speed.

Actually my point was that with protocols like GRE it difficult to NAT more than one stream through an IP address. Also even if you do work that out (people have it seems) you need to work it out for every protocol which is not how the laye

Surely IPv6 clients also have IPv4 interfaces too, don't they already request a AAAA address first and then a A address if that fails? [I'm not sure if they do currently - but seems to make sense]

The Web != The Internet What about VNC/Remote desktop/SSH? What about protocols that don't use port numbers like ICMP and basically everything that's not UDP or TCP? What about sites that grab data from other sources, often needing IP white

Humans are natural born problem solvers and we can't deal with not having any problems to solve. It seems to make sense for people to continue working after getting rich, presumbably in a position of responsibilty, to give us a regular set

It's pretty difficult to search for this on the iPhone App. Store, I went through pages and pages on a search for 'color' before going to color.com and clicking the link. Will most people do this though?

We spent a lot of time over several years tweaking every setting imaginable, trying to get the performance up of a NFS server, none of which really made any difference. Installing SSDs fixed the problem completely. Disk I/O now stays in the

Needs updating for SSDs, I'm not sure it's really worth the development time and increased time to market to optimise for rotating disks.

A better question than the $20m question would be: Would you sell knowing the aquirer would shut down the product, like many that sold to Facebook have for example.
