I don't know how often you drive/remove screws with a drill, but a cordless model is far superior. All of the corded drills I've used put out far too much power and have limited throttle control. A DeWalt drill, like the article recommends,

Definitely knowledgable, but Jobs is no implementer. Just very well informed and able to make low-level technical decisions.

Chrome's developer tools are actually WebKit's, so you'll be able to use the latest/greatest version in WebKit nightlies.

This article does suggest Apple works this way with everything. Of course Apple isn't a startup; they're a multi-billion dollar 35-year-old company, but they do take a similar approach to organizing their teams.

Right, because Humans are the only living thing on this planet. Converting one pollutant into another that doesn't directly affect us is not the solution.

I'd usually agree with you. But, since this is about building filesystems, something I thought was reserved for kernel hackers and truckload of C, I think the LOC title is appropriate. I would have still clicked, but would have expected som

Sure, The Daily Mail, just like any other mainstream news source creates sensationalist headlines to shock you into reading. That doesn't make the studies cited any less accurate. Nor should it prevent us from having an on-topic conversatio

It's amazing how many food sources listed in their raw form aren't themselves guilty, but the industrial manufacturing processes and additives used to enhance them are. Edit: I can't help myself. Some examples: Bacon causes cancer: "High d

Yes, Linking the TechCrunch article here was unnecessary. Saying they are unnecessary, though? People follow them because of the stories they bring in, wether interesting commentary was added or not. How else would someone who doesn't read

This seems absolutely crazy to me. I was always taught put money into long term, stable investments when you are young so that you have the longest possible period for return. You're in the wrong place. $20,000 is more than enough for a y

Aside from being in control of it's power, why would transmitting behave any differently?

From the CEO's email: ...we’re geeked about the opportunities to tap into that knowledge and those resources, especially on the technology side.

If I'm linked to a video, I should be able to watch it only enabling the Flash plugin. You do realize that due to a patent ruling a few years ago, these days almost all Flash content is placed after load with JavaScript to circumvent Acti

I'm coming to the end of a one-year working "vacation" here and would highly recommend a visit as well. The public transportation is ample (and growing) and everywhere else is bike friendly. Good food is abundant and cheap if you hop betwee

I keep one on hand for starting my barbeque. As an actual resource? Almost never. The last time, and quite possibly the first, I used it to find a plumber. $300+ later my problem still wasn't solved.

Often you need someone to start the conversation and set a positive tone. Do you have any stats to back this up? Unless the responses you're providing actually contribute to the conversation in a meaningful way, I really don't see how jus

"Twitter clients" is a larger term than you realize. I've done banner campaigns, widgets and promotional websites that all display tweets in ways Twitter would be unable to track without this.

I can understand encouraging casual relationships with your coworkers, but tracking and giving seminars on improving them goes too far. I'll take my $2000 now, please.

This device would be amazing for consuming media on the couch. I'm questioning its usability in a typical students day. Reducing it to 9 inches is taking it to the extreme, even 11 or 12 inch displays would still be perfectly adequate and c

Judging by the pictures linked above, I think they went too big with it. It's more of a coffee table book than a textbook.

It seems inneficcient if you think of it in an HTTP way, but technologies like BitTorrent are built on exactly this. I see no reason to cache locally and create the additional privacy issues raised in other threads on this page.

That's an excellent idea. As a devoted 1.0 user I really wouldn't feel comfortable taking 2.0 for free.

I actually thought about dropping my AMEX number just for giggles, but intentionally exposing it would probably invalidate their guarantee.

Why? Even if someone stores your number and uses it fraudulently, most (all?) credit card companies will reverse the charges that you didn't approve.

Really, a great idea. I'll be signing up for a paid account as soon as we get settled into our next house.
