I've given up on the downvote thing and just flag everything now. The Dashboard story is especially annoying because it's already been closed; a number of irrefutable arguments have been made discounting any justification regarding the inci

This is the Internet! Everything is serious, dammit! P.S. I didn't down-vote you so I've got that going for me, right :P

I don't say this very often, but: Are you insane ?! First of all, any argument that starts with "Once you have kids" isn't an argument at all; I knew I should have stopped there and saved myself money on blood pressure medication. Secondly

You somehow managed to miss the entire point. I'm not sure if I should be impressed or horribly depressed.

They'd compete the same way they always do... by providing something (guarantee, etc.) the deregulated companies can't. It'll cost more to be "regulated," but that cost is passed onto the consumer. If the consumer puts X guarantee about pri

I think that's perfectly fine. Probably not an option I would elect for were I seeking plastic surgery, but that's neither here nor there. I am sick of those lines. Those lines have caused me to lose the ability to smoke in a bar (or basi

I have all sorts of concerns about such a service, I just don't think Government should decide if I get to worry about those concerns or if they'll just eliminate them for me by taking away the choice in the first place. And, no, I would no

And that's your prerogative and I think you should 100% be able to do that.

No, I kinda like it the way it is actually. Look, I think cab regulation is a good thing; let it be regulated. Despite the inherent inefficiencies and abuse that comes with any sort of regulation, I'm sure it helps consumers by providing st

I left the PT site after reading "Web 2.0 Interface" in the features list. Then again, all I really want is a bug tracker with standard features and brain-dead simple version control integration. Lighthouse has been good to me since the swi

If people setup businesses offering rides full-time and those businesses perform better than cab companies or buses, who cares? If the business is full of drivers (or just a driver) who doesn't follow fair business practices it's not going

Maybe this whole "overpaying developers" mentality wasn't around when I was freelancing because if I actually had $100 for every time someone wanted me to make them a website for $100 I'd be rich by now. The correct response to the "bad" co

By "implemented," he means "Added `CTO` to Obama logo" By "launched," he means "Signed up for UserVoice" It's not a bad idea, but the title makes the entire thing feel extremely pathetic.

Actually, I've found that any merchant worth doing business with generally accepts American Express. I've been using mine for years and my "Visa backup" hasn't been charged in the past year or so. AMEX is easily the best credit card company

In fairness, there is never anything technically worse to do than make an impulse decision based on short-term gain at the expense of long-term destruction. There were always better things for me to be doing, it just so happened that I

I can see why you'd ask that, considering that two incidents could so rationally be considered a representative sampling. I don't know, do people really pose such stupid questions? I've had a MBP since 2006 and the only time it had to be re

I don't disagree one bit. I'm not entirely convinced it will be successful, considering it is a pretty niche product as far as backup products go and the security value-add isn't really priced according to what very security-conscious peopl

I think you make some VERY good points, but I'm unsure if you and the creator of tarsnap are on the same page regarding the audience / customer base for this service. I like the name because it makes sense to me and it's easy to understand.

Algorithms + "Smart People Police" make me feel safer. Nice one, unalone!

I flag anything that makes me think, "I could have spent those X minutes/seconds of my life reading something worthwhile." This screams of a plug for Gladwell's book, which may well be worth reading, but doesn't really offer anything intere

We're holding off until 2,000 more articles have been written on the subject, just to be sure. Don't want to spook the guy.

I completely agree. YouTube is one of those places I will go only if directly linked to and even then I attempt to escape as quickly as possible, especially without reading any comments which destroy at least one brain cell for every one re

I'm not even sure what we're debating. The entire article is just anecdotal evidence that completely fails to make a point. I mean, I'll throw my hat in. I'm an atheist and a pretty big jackass. I'd sooner burn a church down with everyone i

Why should a single mom have to bust her butt to support her 13 year-old son... Because she birthed him. Look, if a 13 year old kid wants to get a job, more power to them. However, if they don't, it's the parents' responsibility to provid

While I wholeheartedly agree that there are many things wrong with "kids these days," completely abolishing adolescence would... what's a good word here... suck! Look, I did my fair share of dumb stuff when I was younger, most of which was

Oh Xen, how I love thee! If you're ever lucky enough to find yourself as a customer of Softlayer, check out the Virtualization forum; I have a nice tutorial there on getting Xen setup and running pretty quickly on their dual networks.
