Well this was a scary read... I fully understand that it was written with the sole intention of being scary, but seriously... "He argues that financial incentives ought not to matter in a mindful society and is confident that well-intention

Are you talking about chat or instant messaging? Those two are different in my view. We use IMs a lot at work. Probably even more than email. Chats get created every now and again, but realistically, it's much less used than IM. The only pl

Reading this article was very very painful... and honestly, everyone here is hitting the nail on the head - they are just exposing how much info they are collecting about people. Facebook is the next Experian/TransUnion/Equifax. In the past

This made me thing of a possible use case you could monetize - sending "Thank you" notes post interview. This is something that I always forget to do, although the last 2 times I interviewed I got the job anyways :) An FAQ would be nice, o

I'd add that the benefit/risk is being evaluated by an individual or a group of individuals, as opposed to the company at large, so what might be insanely terrible for the greater good of the company can also provide a ton of benefit for a

Short version: We buy more than we sell. Wealth is being transferred out. Long version: It means we import way more than we export... In other words, we buy from others a lot more than we sell to others. In theory, this would create a stron

Paper has to come from an accredited institution, right? So, there is some bureaucratic stuff involved in order to be able to qualify for issuing the paper. Not sure KA meets that requirement yet.

Yup, it's a Debian derivative, but I like how light weight it was and how easy it is to get it going from the liveCD. I'm still on the last LTS, so haven't experienced the non-Gnome version yet.

The subject really shouldn't say "(google.com)" in it... very misleading. Initially, I had thought this was posted by Google, but then saw the content/url and realized it's google docs.

I agree with your sentiment about resourcefulness, but I'd probably also say that the spirit of the article is that government should do all it can to lower the barrier to entry and thereby promote more competition. One other item I found a

The pricing doesn't seem all that great. Take $7.99 per month for 1 DVD out. That equals to 8 DVDs rented for one of those DVD rental boxes in a grocery store (RedBox, BlockBuster) assuming you return them the next day. In order for you to
