Firstly, set a minimum per project. There is a overhead to every project and that needs to be accounted for. Each project needs to make enough profit to buy you lunch. Secondly, look at any non-key functions that you are performing and see

Why shouldn't the FOSS community, to the extent it supports FSF - not allowed to have their say about who leads them and who speaks for them? If there are alternate leaders let them step up and be counted. Dave Winer can only stand with Sta

For Dave Winer to stand up for Stallman, requires someone to pick on him and Stallman not being able to defend himself. I don't see either of it happening. Stallman wasn't going to alter his behavior because of Kotte, and Kotte probabably i

Yes. You are right on the money with Lamarckism. There was a separate study showing people who lived through a famine passed on its effects lasting several generations.

Who'd want to buy a house Renters who don't want to be inconvenienced by foreclosures on their rented property. There is a time value to packing, moving and unpacking, and then updating addresses.

The author is only partially right. The mistake is in defining a closed system that is in fact not closed, and then curve fitting. For instance a great part of growth in the last 100 years has been from man's ability to harness energy from

I remember myself looking at secondhand iMacs, and Apple has definitely taken care to change its looks in a minor non-functional manners to differentiate one series from another, just as a modern car manufacturer would. It also makes total

Interesting how it has only 0.5GB of RAM. Is this meant to be Nokia's flagship Windows Phone product? As an aside, I still think Apple got it right with the single hardware "home" button vs the three in WP7 and Android.

#2 today could be solved with smartphones that relay their location? ZigBee wireless sensors can be built rather cheaply if the intelligent components are centralized on the primary controller.

You can only imitate a master, but by doing so, one will never become one. Steve Jobs was an adept at connecting with human emotions (consumers and employees alike) and not only built products which did the same, but also marketed them in a

Cool. So in your case, the user is ok to type in his own code, so that's OK isn't it? In fact, it would usher in another beautiful era of kids typing in code to the computer, learning as they go along.

Both Moot and the author are correct. It is well accepted that anonymity brings out the worst in people (the author has said so himself). It is also understood that context guides behaviours. For example, one might be more disinhibited on a

I don't think he is correct. Debt can be sustained as long as there are marginal returns to be had. The real problem is that the marginal returns are no longer there because energy prices have been increasing at the same pace. This suggests

In some ways, the author has got this point right. There is an inflexion point where the level of specialisation required exceeds the cost of acquiring the said skills. A couple of generations ago, basic literacy was all that was required t

You are not suing Twitter, I hope. Court fights can be very taxing emotionally and financially. Someone I know spent 13 years fighting a case. Led to years of alcoholism and missed opportunities.
