You don't have to own something to discuss a sale of it.

You've got a point, but the e-book market is vanishingly small compared to the regular paper-book market. Paper-books don't get pirated. You can pretty much write that off as advertising. Of course, their market will implode once we get thi

The Swedish IRS aren't making any claim. They just can't find any proof that the TPB has anything to do with the accused. And without proof, they don't. What? That makes no sense what so ever. How does TPB's hypothetical revenue increase th

Why do you think they are making a killing?

Spotify is huge in Sweden, TPB's home. According to a survey, [the vast majority] of Spotify users have stopped pirating. I think this proves you are right.

I understand your position, but the thing is that there is no proof for either of the claims you are making: * Not that they own TPB (the Swedish IRS have even concluded that they do not.) * Not that TPB are making any money. While they mus

The post to which I replied says: "The problem isn't your gmail password getting leaked, but some other site leaking your password." Some other site could only leak your password if they've got the same one.

Don't trust the safekeeping of your password with the entire internet . Use a different password for every website, it's really the only way.

Those subtle differences are execution . The idea is to build a better car.

Ulterior means "intentionally hidden" — it's not really possible to not be conscious of something intentionally hidden.

While I think Jason Fried's post on the Mint exit was atypically ignorant, quite frankly — I don't think they wrote it believing that it would make everybody dislike the idea of a $170M exit. I think he was just expressing his opinion, like

Sure, but even with your definitions of their ideas, they're not super-unique, certainly their ideas aren't the most valuable thing in the mix. To illustrate my point; there was no need for either of the mentioned successful startups to kee

Yeah, ideas are mostly worthless. Facebook's success certainly cannot be attributed to their "idea": the online community thing had been done thousands of times before. Just never executed well enough. Google's success cannot be attributed

From what I can tell, it seems the "dark side" mentioned only really affects Voldemort and Cassandra, out of all the databases that fall into the "NoSQL" category?

His example of biking around India was stupid, but his logic wasn't. Raising a child is not something that only women do. His counter-example should have been that: a man raising a child.

In your post you wondered why . That's not binary. The reason is that Typepad, which hosts their blog, does this on all their hosted blogs. You could have found this out by asking 37signals, or doing some basic research. Instead you chose

I got that on the fact that helvetica's capital A's are tighter, which I think came through better in Mattel than in Toyota. Since then I've also learned that Helvetica's capital O's are almost perfectly round.

by tjogin 17y ago
I failed on Toyota. :( The rest are easy; Helvetica wants every line to have a straight ending, Arial doesn't.

I think you're right about the language barrier. Also, I don't really care if these community enhancements make it to the "proper" Ruby or not. The main thing is that it is available to the community, whether christened as the "Matz" Ruby o

Considering the prevalence of todo-list and flashlight apps, it doesn't seem like the $99 is holding anybody back.

Hah, Microsoft underestimated the importance of the internet for several years. Netscape was the big browser before IE was bundled with Windows, remember? Their bundling of IE with Windows, however "strategically right" it was, was also an

You don't, but enrolling in any kind of developer program, or buying any kind of developer software, is going to cost north of $99 a year, which any developer hoping to make even that amount of money will do. The situation for iPhone deve

Basically, that means you won't develop for any proprietary platform.

Yes, I imagine that users not being afraid that the software they install is malware does quite well for overall sales.

It is censorship. But it isn't illegal, or even morally wrong. Apple is within their rights to censor the content of their App Store. However, people generally frown upon censorship, even in private arenas where it is perfectly legal to app
