Excellent. This is great news. Once they are on the net, the cardholders are effectively safe because of fraud protection. The real danger is when you don't know your number has been stolen. Based on the headline, it doesn't appear the j

Again, going with the ACLU analogy, it's not the ACLU's job to convince you that the Bill of Rights is a good thing. It's their job to rigorously defend it without giving an inch. The same goes for RMS, it's not his job to convince develo

There's a disturbing lack of understanding in this community about free software, the GPL and other licences, and RMS himself. Of course Stallman is an extremist. Every leader of such a movement by definition must be an extremist, even if

That's because the LGPL is only meant for very specific situations were licensing under the GPL would hurt the free software movement. This is hardly the ever the case (a notable exception would be a high quality library) and thus the enco

All the people that made Fedora 9 worth $10.8 billion for free disagree with you [1]. Just because you wont work for free doesn't mean other people wont. It's a pretty unbelievable display of human passion and generosity. Why criticize t

True words. A connection can be made to the programming. It's generally accepted by programmers that there is no way to "hack" the process of becoming a really great programmer. That's why it's obvious that the whole notion of "[Persons]

I've written my own editor too. Would you like to see my .emacs file? All kiding aside, the most important thing about an editor is an ability to customize it, whether it be via Emacs Lisp, Vim Script, or some other means. No software dev

Indeed. I think it's highly improbable that you undervalue business guys. That is not my claim. My claim is that simplistic readings of your more subtle points (done by some in the News.YC community) about business result in the type of a

It appears that whoever downvoted me misinterpreted my comment. To expand the implication: you can buy zero meaningful girlfriends.

This has been tried before and it has failed miserably. Perfect price discrimination does not work because price is a key component of the average person's value assessment. I'd be very surprised if it works in the long term in this case.

The Washington Post is right. We shouldn't blame Jim Cramer or other financial pundits (most people will try get away with whatever they can if they are allowed to). Instead we should blame the Washington Post itself and other news organi

Well the financial math is simple, no $5k is not enough for you both. The relationship math is simple as well. After five years of dating, you're probably getting to the point where you are going to get married or break up. If you think y

Well, it was definitely good for a laugh, but not much else. Honestly what's worse, a few new inexperienced users or a completely irrelevant front page for a few days? I'd rather deal with the users. Hopefully the moderators can take car

I wish there were more prominent examples (like 37signals) of small software companies that subscribe to this model. The VC funding, ad driven model has many, many examples and I think we can all benefit from a more diverse landscape of pe

You have to remember that these games were made a long time ago, before the popular professional gaming events even existed. 30-40 does seem a bit low, but I doubt they had any conception of the actual upper threshold (300+). Also, AOE i
