May I suggest, "If they stole your idea, how do you know you ever had it?"

When Chrome was released two years ago, I noticed a significant difference in speed. Nowadays I think the announcements JavaScript performance improvements is a bit overenthusiastic. The only real world benchmark mentioned in the article is

I would have thought the worst thing that ever happened would have involved death in some way.

Where can I find details about this?

The short answer is almost certainly that the record label has placed significant restrictions on the price. It's not just Beatles albums. Lots of albums are cheaper to buy used on Amazon than MP3s on Amazon. It's an imperfect marketplace.

My screenshot and canvas don't match, but I'm running Chrome. Same thing happens in Firefox, so it's probably the OS. I'm running Windows XP with two LCD monitors. ClearType was off so I turned it on, and that seems to have fixed it. There'

The problem with tagging is that it's a laborious process and prone to errors which accumulate over time to make the system very inaccurate.

I'm assuming it can load balance to paid EC2 instances also. Even if not, it would let potential customers learn how to use it.

The biggest difference I see is in the monospace font. Courier is serif and Cousine is not. Serif fonts are good for coding but my guess is that anybody coding has a better font than Courier.

Is there an implication that reading means reading books? Because I'd think that it's harder to raise a child who doesn't read in the internet age.

What I never got about this myth is why people thought that the razors should cost more than the blades. The razor is molded plastic and the blades are a bit of plastic holding a small bit of metal that are honed so they easily cut hair and

Even when I was looking around, I could see that there were a lot of resources. I'd like to see a very short app - 50 lines of code - that shows off the main feature of the framework. More importantly, I need this to be one of the links on

Microsoft says it only uses lawsuits as a last resort when a licensing agreement can't be reached. It sounds like they're trying not to be bad guys, but I read this as Microsoft using lawsuits to force companies to license their patents. I'

Software developers are the perfect audience for a Q&A site because they do their job online. I think StackOverflow's biggest challenge is extending their audience to people who aren't already on the Internet.

I don't think this project is properly leveraging PHP's advantages. PHP code's ability to be run on almost any server with Apache is a big plus, but this project requires a JVM. It's different enough from PHP that the plethora of PHP progra

It's possible that Facebook shut this guy down because they don't want competition when selling their data. The notion that this information is publicly and legally accessible may take away a revenue stream from them.

I think that's the point. The Japanese are great at making a product better, but not very good at innovating an existing product. They may have made a music player that has the same specs as the iPod years earlier, but they never would have

Physical goods have a higher perceived value because you can touch and resell it. PC games are on their way to essentially ending piracy with services like Steam. Some people may be willing to pay a higher price point, but games at discount

Those pirates perceive the work to have no value. Possible reasons include that the pirate has no money, doesn't expect to use the work for long, or doesn't think they'll enjoy the work very much. The copyright holder loses no money when th

Then the copyright holder's work get pirated and they don't get compensated.

That the producer doesn't have a way to stop the piracy is the crux of the issue. Because the black market exists, consumers have the power to place their own value on a product. This value is the price that they would pay for the product i

I believe the author would add that the pirate's perceived value of the product is also a function of piracy.

If incorrectly assume that a product's value is directly related to its cost, I believe it's true that people would be less willing to pirate the game that cost more. Which means they would be willing to pay more. The copyright holder's pro

People are willing to pay for creative work. The copyright holder should realize that rampant "theft" would indicate that their price is too high, and they should lower the price or create higher value work that people value at their desire

There's also the fixed costs (development) to consider. The point he's making is that people are willing to may for software, but there's an inherent price. If the vendor's price is higher than the inherent price, people will pirate.

The health benefits to losing weight could be incredible. For example, the risk of a heart attack would drop and there would be less stress on the knees and ankles.

Thanks for posting this. It looks like the server gets into that state by itself.
