Why put locks on your house when someone can just break the window? Why wear a seatbelt when the dash of your car will collapse your skull anyway?

The beat and synth part sound incredibly good, the vocal lines are full of catchy hooks and repeatable lines. A mix of languages means most listeners pick up on some - but importantly, not all - of the lyrics. This creates an "earworm" effe

Your perspective is refreshing, however it's worth noting that the automotive market doesn't have the same network effects as mobile computing. All cars take the same gasoline and oil for the most part.

Your hyper-sensitivity is far more offensive than the playful euphemism in Upverter's title. Furthermore, as others have pointed out, "getting laid" in no way discriminates against women, as women and men of all dispositions get laid equall

No web service is immune to fluctuating network conditions. How can I tell if my browser is loading a turbolink? What happens when the request fails?

The problem with your code not caring if the odd record gets lost is that it probably also doesn't care if all records start getting lost.

> I'd say the bigger issue with Postgres now is that middleware like http://code.google.com/p/vitess/ for it hasn't been deployed in the large yet. That simply isn't true. Take a look at PgPool ( http://www.pgpool.net/mediawiki/index.

By choosing Pg over MySQL or Mongo, you are selecting a high-quality, stable product that is on a very slow and steady development trajectory with very few missteps along the way. If you don't want to be surprised by the interesting and une

As I mentioned above, it's not so much about our eyes being side-by-side as it is about our world being horizontally organized. Our eye muscles are optimized for horizontal movement (two muscles involved for a horizontal scan, one contract

Were we not all once suckling at the teet? Big boobs are universal. Furthermore, the joke is so childish and innocent that it's more offensive of you to object to it than it was in the first place. Lighten up.

The author claims MS failed to "take seriously" the iPad, but that's simply not true. He must be confusing them with Blackberry (RIMshot!). MS created Office 365, a completely web-based build of Office that is surprisingly standards-complia
