If it aint broke... Honestly I think that's something to consider in the event of a decrease in quality. The current system is working fine at the moment.

Haven't read the article, but just a general observation about Blackboard: from the perspective of a student and someone who is interested in education, Blackboard's products are garbage. An introductory computer science course could put s

A lot of the mathematical proofs and descriptions of algorithms on Wikipedia are surprisingly well written. You're telling me Wolfram Alpha can replace that? In fact, Wikipedia is a completely different type of service.

No problem. The email point is the one I am least comfortable about. I'm not sure how the public in general feels about it. It may be that they like being able to sign up without an email, or it may be that they find it annoying to have t

It seems a little underhanded, but try and populate your forums with a decent number of posts before you launch. Either that, or don't launch your forums until you have a decent number of users. An empty forum has a pretty significant imp

I'm sure they have plenty of safeguards in place. Think about all the times in the last 5 years that Google's service has been seriously interrupted. Oh wait, there aren't any. Their turn around time on this bug was pretty fantastic as w

Of course the million dollar homepage is worthy of its success. Quite frankly, it's a brilliant idea. There are very, very few things that are truly "unworthy" of success; your view of this strikes me as far too general. Just because some

I'm actually very much for the GPL. Before you criticize people for not reading, you might want to do a bit of reading yourself? My comment history clearly places me in the pro-GPL camp, and there's nothing about my parent comment that su

Remember that libraries licensed under the GPL don't count, as far as startups go. You'd be surprised at how many of the libraries you use in hacked up code on a daily basis are ones you can't release with a closed source product.

I say this in the most serious possible way. I hope in the next twenty or thirty years Russia or China builds a base on the moon and puts weapons on it. I'm not sure how useful weapons on the moon would be tactically, but at least a refue

I understand you're passionate about this issue, but you've really got to stop flooding the conversation threads with your postings. I don't object to one or two, or even more than that. However you've posted a ton of similar one liners

Last time I checked, the hardware has nothing to do with the operating system. I don't know explicitly what Paul runs now, but I know he has run FreeBSD in the past. I also know that the very article you linked to mentions the fact that M

Yes, there is a reason, and I suspect it is because Paul uses FreeBSD and there is an associated cult with what Paul does. As I said before, there's nothing groundbreaking about this release. I agree with you in that I would be happy to s
