I'm not sure I have the patience to be here feeding discussions that turn into cheap immediate offenses as soon as one mentions a sensitive subject. If the subject s to sensitive for you, maybe you should refrain from commenting it? What I

How is that a similar? If anything, muslim populations in western countries are underrepresented in universities. Heck, some european countries are tipping 10% muslim population, yet if you go to a university campus good look finding a sing

vertical split with three windows, adjust their size to control the margins, and set the border to the same color as the background. Put these commands on your .vimrc. Should work too.

And who get's to decide what who the 'truly evil' are? In my opinion, putting Fidel Castro in the same set as Bin Laden or Sadam Hussein is unfair, yet for you he is evil just like those other two. I could present a sh*tload of evidence tha

__People are tribal. Some people are attracted to tribes, become attached without really knowing why, and start having the strong urge to fuck with the other tribes. Apparently this was good for the survival of the human race. Perhaps it's

+1 I like node (and ringojs) because it's a cool javascript interpreter with a nice set of libraries for practical use. I can buy the argument that node's single thread architecture can make things faster, but not before understanding why.

_It's not about the buzz. It's about addressing the needs of the users, all of the users, and building an ecosystem that provides them with the necessary tools to discover, learn, participate and improve. That and building up brand loyalty

I agree with robomc but it appears that most people is mixing up 'not buying' with 'not understanding'. Sure nodejs would be easy to pick up if it had no dependencies and if its binaies were contained in a folder - i.e. portable - but assum

You nailed by using the word 'buzz', it's pretty much about the buzz. It's a shame things turn out this way.

While most of the people are discussing what each browser 'stands for' or its main goals, we should not forget about simple practical aspects. Apart from deals between mozilla and google, I much prefer to support the mozilla foundations tha

That was a really good comparison. I never signed up for facebook. But today I'm pretty much the black sheep. Email, telephone, webpages, those existed long before Facebook. It feels like millions of people think that they are enlighten abo

I agree with numerous opinions in here that consider this a fiasco. Many say that the law must be interpreted in it's context (uk) and that the guy behind the service couldn't much, etc. But honestly, why putting up a service bragging to fi

To be honest I prefer the way it was before. Clicking the link would send the email. That was the beauty of it. Cluttering the interface with webforms all over the place will just make your service more like dozens of other out there. Of co

No. Node.js itself is an event machine, node's http module is nothing but a particular plug-able even handler framework. That is not the same writting an application in python that uses the http library. The latest requires considerably mor

Don't forget Orkut(google owned) and Google Social Network (not 100% sure of the name) which is tightly integrated with blogger. On a side, yet related, note: did anyone had a google email account in the late 90s? Long before gmail, google

I would go as far as saying that it does not offer much more than what you can do with the http module. But if you take away built-in template engines, orm, active reccord and an CRUD generators (both for web forms and APIs), the same appli

You can call me narrow-minded, but such books are based on the premise that the blog juice is already there but it just needs to be squeezed the right way. While I don't doubt that the knowledge exposed in this book is useful, one should be

Not necessarily. Your example does not refute the premise. You would have to give an example where people contribute a project of yours, not the opposite. I.e. because you contribute in a certain way to a project voluntarily, it doesn't mea

No way... I've never heard of a start up that had a product with a great potential but didn't manage to pull it of due to bad business strategy. The key is putting up a quality produce. No marketing/business mimics will do it if you don't h

I would go further and say anyone can claim they "broke" whatever system. Why do we even care about this. PoC or it didn't happen. Also, 'SSL broken' it's a way abusive title to whatever hack relying on non encrypted http requests, javascri

You might have done this with good intentions in mind, but I don't think this is a good idea. A pyramid scheme is NOT something positive. Only less than half the people that get informed about some product will actually have access to it if

"shallow mental model (...) It really does take time if you want to understand Arch deeply" You made me curious. Those sound like they are the opposite of each other. On the article... the same old. Not for me. I like learning, but not just

I never used those javascript frameworks that appear to be all over the place, so I'm not sure I get the humor... the joke is that they are to some extent unnecessary and introduce bloat. Ok, that was simply assumed, I would like to see som

Everyone seems to avoid to mention the obvious. This breaks the page layout only, not really a critical issue concerning google's integrity/security. Still, this obviously doesn't look good. Above anything else google has excelled on being
