I think it adds an appropriate flavoring to the original comment. He's not just starting a thread on the original, which would have been dickish. He added onto the criticism here of Dustin by saying that he'd heard a bad story, and thought

One of the more amusingly bizarre things Lodwick has done in his career. Also worth nothing is http://odwick.com/ , his series of arthouse (and frequently nude) movies. I love characters.

He's a controversial writer for that reason. I find that he switches between really writing fascinating insights into how he does work and being a dick for the sake of being a dick.

This sounds great, but for the fact that most of the things students are being reviewed on are meaningless bullshit. How are teachers being measured? By AP scores? Grades overall? Because as a still-fresh departure from grade school, I'm pr

An hour ago an actor was in my room trying to get a printer to work. He bounced all over the place, broke out into song and maniacal laughter, made a bunch of bizarre hand gestures while speaking, and talked to himself in full question-resp

I develop initially for Webkit, in part because Coda offers a built-in Webkit preview that makes coding for it very fast and easy. Then I preview it in Opera and Firefox. I wish every web browser would switch to WebKit. It pains me how bad

You're getting the wrong lesson out of your experiences. For the record, ignoring athletics and focusing only on student government ignores a whole plethora of non-athletic programs out there. First off, athletics, which serve a valuable pa

I just had a massive issue developing for Firefox. I spend the better part of yesterday fixing a handful of CSS bugs. It still doesn't work perfectly. I'm not very happy with Gecko at the moment. I asked a friend on Windows to test it and h

That's part of SEO. But if you're optimizing for search engines, that includes controlling how your result shows up and what extra things show up too. If you want to stick to your pedantic definition, then I'll put it like this: Apple

Search Engine Optimization means optimizing for search engines means if your metadescription on Google sucks and your sublinks are nonexistent, you have bad SEO.

Not what he means by SEO. Did you read the article? The description of Droid from Google: "Get to know Droid a little better. Droid Does the Network. Droid is exclusive to Verizon Wireless, the most reliable network available." This tells m

As a writer myself, I always thought that was kind of an ass-backwards approach. Writing a story about being young is the cheapest and easiest story to write. So props to the people who manage it, but I don't necessarily see that as a succe

Every friend of mine training to be a doctor resents the implication that becoming a doctor isn't an achievement. They're sacrificing more for their title than most entrepreneurs sacrifice for theirs.

Was there ever an inherent value in either? Entrepreneur shouldn't be a term thrown around to sound impressive, like doctor is, because calling yourself an entrepreneur requires a lot less. Similarly, CEO should be a term that's no more imp

Define "worse" in this case. It's an irritation at worst, and it indicates that being an entrepreneur is starting to become something kids are interested in. I'd deem that a good change, however obnoxious we cool hands might find it.

I'm 19 and in the process of looking for exceptional talents my age to work with. As I go through people, I find that publicity is never a real indicator of somebody's success. Most people who're really good at what they do never learn to p

What axod was suggesting was that the people who need a laptop that small might be well off with what the iPhone's capable of. Certainly my iPod touch is what I use when I'm on the move, and it's capable of everything up to responding to pe

I'm gonna have to disagree. It was entertaining, but the movie was entirely farcical. Its assumption re:how the world might potentially degenerate was silly, but I'm baffled at how people think that could possibly happen. It's like watching

You're missing what I'm saying, and what the point of the original post you replied to was saying. We know what you're saying right now, but that's why this article wasn't as interesting as it could have been if it only surveyed people wh

The point the OP was making was: You can't lump together all college students when writing an article like this, because not all college students are going to college to get high-powered jobs. College has never been about merely finding emp

As I said: Some people care more about the learning than they do about the job. I've got art history major friends. They know there's not much work to be found there, but they're in it anyway, finances be damned, because they love art histo

What exactly is a very person? Unlike you, I don't pretend I know enough about the circumstances of Hirst's cases to lay down judgment. I know next to nothing about the art he produces, just enough to understand that perhaps he's doing some

Sometimes people care more about what they love than they do about whether they can support themselves with it. Please don't assume every person passionate about the arts is spoiled and rich.
