The writing has been on the wall for delicious for years. They never made any money, never found mainstream adoption, never made use of the enormous flow of user sharing data they were getting to do anything interesting. They have been oper

What's the URL of the site? My side project is also a gay discussion site (gaygeeks.org) so I'm surprised I don't know who you are :-)

As an ex-Yahoo I think it very unlikely that anything would happen to Flickr. Flickr is still one of the very-largest social networks: http://mashable.com/2010/12/12/youtube-buzzed-social-network... (It's not #2; Zeta's methodology is ver

My name (lastname only) was in the "signed by" field of the shipping info -- all the stranger, since I didn't sign for it. I suppose it's possible the package was delivered to somebody else with my last name in the same zip code, but my las

Weird. There were 10 packages delivered to my zip code, and one of them actually lists my name on the delivery -- but it says it was delivered Friday, and signed for by me. But I wasn't even at home on Friday. So where did it go? It would b

It says that I spend less time on the web than most people, which is weird, because I live surrounded by web developers and I am online WAY more often than they are...

The original was released on January 27th, so this matches the annual refresh schedule of the iPhone/iPod/iMac lines.

Precisely why I specified what "down-voting" is for. In my view, the correct score for a valid opinion that nobody else agrees with is 1. I feel up-voting can express both agreement and/or belief that something is valuable.

[Edit: I wish people would stop voting down the parent. It is a legitimate point of view and down-voting is supposed to express a lack of value, not disagreement with content] Child pornography is basically the trump card of the pro-censors

I tried to make clear that this is my personal experience and impressions, not a declaration of fact: "seems to have", "my impression", etc.. I should have gone further and said "this happens to me, has anybody else had this problem?" My ap

I love Chrome, but the one big -- and really nasty -- surprise for me was that it has IE-style (i.e. invisible, exploitable, in the wild) security vulnerabilities. I've used Firefox since the very earliest betas and it has never, ever been

That's my primary reason for not believing this story. I just can't think of a plausible reason Google would want them. Their technology is laughably simple to replicate and combined with Google's existing advertiser relationships would be

Well, Miranda refers to Miranda Rights, or the Miranda Warning: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_warning However, Miranda rights are mostly about the right to avoid self-incrimination. In the article he seems to suggest that the offic

FREDERIK POHL is still alive??? And has a blog?? My mind is blown. (Non science-fiction readers: this is like hearing that not only is Elvis still alive, but is performing an acoustic set nearby)

I was with him until he started talking about how the "greatest boon" to airline security had been "a lock on the door and a gun in the cockpit". Firstly, to my knowledge, nobody has attempted to storm the cockpit since 9/11, so the locks,

I might edit your post title to include a question mark, but I don't think it's too much of a stretch past that.

Simplifying for my tiny brain: does this mean that IE9 takes more than 22x longer to complete a "real" test instead of the "optimized" one?

European carriers charge each other to receive SMS as well, they just don't customarily pass it on to the consumer. The mobile network "Three" used to have a program where they'd pass on the money received to consumers, and it became a scam

I wondered the same thing. My first thought was "some gay clubs are like that", but I do not wish to make any unwelcome assumptions about anyone's sexuality :-)

An interesting thesis. I can see both sides. On the one hand, the idea of mixing all these messaging formats together sounds like it might be a confusing mess -- a Google Wave-level UI disaster. As he points out, these media have very diffe

This was absolutely my solution to the same problem. I'd been a solid dev for 10 years and the closest I'd come was being an unofficial team lead a couple of times. I found it hard, in a big company, to work on raising my profile without fe

So pleased to see this restored! It's one of the best process visualizations I've ever seen. It's not "this is what the data means", it's "this is how an algorithm works in practice". It looks organic and there are subtleties (like the fact
