Wide open DB access is for rapid development. In production, which meteor is totally not ready for yet, you'd restrict the db, have proper auth(which isn't built into meteor yet), and call restful methods from the client that have both clie

A few of humble opinions: Padmapper is probably getting enough publicity out of this to get over the critical mass problem and will be able to rely on their own listings. Craigslist content is user generated, and the copyrights remain prope

If i had to use my real name, I'd probably never comment on this site (good or bad thing, you can decide). A lot of people aren't interested in attribution and just want to take part in discussions on the internet. Also, anon-posting gives

On a somewhat related note, as far as animals go, jelly fish are nuts. I mean they're barely animals at all. From wikipedia: "Most jellyfish do not have specialized digestive, osmoregulatory, central nervous, respiratory, or circulatory sys

This article is a troll rant. Sebastian Anthony is clearly neither a market analyst nor a mobile OS expert. He compiled a bunch of a half-thought, smug driven, psudo talking points; slapped on a controversial sounding title and called it a

It's kind of disgusting to encourage people to fuck up their bodies to win an athletic competition. A lot of the things you could do to yourself to help you run faster next year are not exactly going to improve your health. And children nee

I believe it coincided with converting to a nearly sedentary culture. Nothing is as bad for you as being sedentary and since many/most people refuse to exercise, and you can't buy exercise pills (let alone get people to take them), you have

I'm going to assume they mean they don't condone it. (possibly because of a licencing agreement with microsoft) Obviously if it is a computer, which i think it is, you will be able to install grub.

Bummer, but not a problem. They are different products targeting different markets. You don't want users being able to switch between windows or linux pre-installed via a simple interface. You want them to know exactly what they're doing. (

I would assume that if dell had an easy way to get a laptop with no operating system, it would be a support and consumer trust nightmare. They would then need to support how to install an operating system for every customer, as that's the o

The majority of new laptops work out of the box with ubuntu 12.04. The driver complaint, while still fair in many cases, is not nearly as relevant as it used to be. Peripherals can be tough, but built-in hardware has come a long way. Also,

If you developed a solution to your own medical problem, why wouldn't you get a prescription for it? The prescription gives you the right to use it. It's a bare website (not a blog post) with nothing but a story and some contact information

I feel you're a bit off base, and are just being negative. Roger Bradbury may be trying to get his research funded but he's also trying to make a difference. You're just trying to out him as some kind of greedy scientist. He's right, we're

"one with 33% more beans for free, the other at 33% off the price" I don't know if it matters, but to me "33% more for free" presents more information. It tells you that the quantity has increased and the cost has stayed the same. "33% off"

One big problem I have with software patents is that they rarely contain any actual implementation. The whole point of a patent is that society grants you a temporary monopoly and you give society the intricate details of your invention. Ma

Laws aren't god given. They are to be interpreted or even ignored by anyone who finds themselves in the legal system. Thats why jury nullification exists, and thats why judges have jobs. At the end of the day it's just humans making decisio

Thats exactly the point, if the drug is covered under patent there is no generic. So if the doctor prescribes the newer yet not better drug, there will be no generic alternative.
