Why must the alphabet have a "canonical" order? It seems like the alphabet has an order for recitation purposes and for convenience when ordering things. Recitation seems unnecessary in teaching alphabets and as long as numbers are well-kn

Oddly, most introverts I know have a problem with much of the "my tribe is better than your tribe" stuff in our society. Is this article meant to be satire? It's strange that this guy is so passionate about being introverted. It almost seem

He may have hurt the reputation of Amazon, but not through his crime. Publicizing vulnerabilities in Amazon's ranking system is what may hurt Amazon's reputation. The "crime" of messing with Amazon's system didn't hurt Amazon's reputation

California is progressive because they have banned non-hands-free cellular phones while driving, banned text messaging while driving, banned the sale of alcohol after 2am, banned gay marriage explicitly through a constitutional amendment. W

What is the difference between Raymond's proposed non-restrictive open source software licensing plan and unleashing software into the public domain? It seems like the authors of such software would have absolutely no control over their so

There are builds of Chromium for Linux. It's just in pre-alpha and lack everything except for very basic functionality (no tabs yet). So far, the omnibar works, pages render well, and it feels very fast. Ubuntu builds repository to keep u

The background color of the logo is gray in IE6 and the Add Game page is messed up in IE6 also. Although, I can't blame you if you aren't planning to support IE6. Also the OpenID button does not load in Opera 9 and slows down the loading o
