One of the great things about dropbox is that you don't need to predict. You can just look at their feature request list and see what's on top. https://www.dropbox.com/votebox (API is nr 9) Although I'm not sure what file system for the w

Don't hold your breath, the Internet has been "about to get a lot safer" for over a decade.

Interestingly a lot of domain names point to Google without being owned by them. Seems mostly a way to generate rumours.

That's why we have peer review (you).

I wouldn't say that theories we can actually prove are not science. Provable theories become approximations again when you take them out into the field. Also imagine a theory that is at first verified through experimentation, but later prov

I'm going to try modesty, but I doubt I'll be able to get through. Also, CloudFront is ideal for events like this.

I've been buying more and more vinyl. It's a little expensive, but sound quality is simply superb. I spent some time trying to recognize sounds in Pink Floyd music on MP3/CD/Vinyl and realized that current technology is not yet suitable for

At least with Seattle IT you know when you're going to get screwed. With San Francisco IT it always comes unexpected.

No. Science, like democracy, is based on the very principle of distrust. Instead, simply accept it. Accept that scientists are humans. Accept that the process if often flawed. Accept that peer-review doesn't really mean that much. Accept th

Computer Science is just science at the start. We know a couple of things like Shannon's theorem and Amdahl's law, but that's about it. Unfortunately a lot of experimental computer engineering is also being sold as computer science.

This fellow shouldn't call himself a computer science teacher, that's a completely different subject. He's a computing teacher.

Amazon just started looking a whole lot more attractive. They may not have such fanatical support, but they do know how to fix their stuff.

I'm not from India, but I somehow find this a very exciting feature. Such strong attention to customers is rarely seen.

Good riddens. Comet was the painful reminder of how little browsers have developed over the last 10 years. It may be a little late, but who doesn't like sockets?

Lets not destroy the sea bed for minimal cost & energy gains. Especially in one of the most fertile and last remaining wildlife areas of Europe. Plenty of studies point out the negative effects the vibration of wind turbines has on fish

Google has focussed too much on common searches (the money makers). They have had so little competition that they forgot that people select their search engine based on specific searches.

Are there really programming jobs where you only use one language? I'd prefer to work with people who use the right tool for the job. I work with C/Java/Perl on a daily basis and occasionally modify Ruby or Python. I've also used quite a lo

Hooray stereotypes. I've never met a computer science PhD who went to star wars conventions. Most of them are very intelligent, social people who do not obsess over anything. The only thing they all have in common is that they like to climb
