Interesting. Can you tell me which tools you use to work around Garmin? Mac compatible? Are their formats proprietary? Would be stoked for a solution.

Hahaha. I sympathize with your rant. I have been a developer in the GIS world for 7 years and I don't own a dedicated GPS. I've always wanted one but the software and data issues leave me face-palming. Why they don't just open the stand

Garmin has been consistently clueless about how software should be developed and deployed. They are the Verizon of GIS. No surprise that they jettisoned one of their more promising projects.

I went to the same HS as Damien and knew him through sculpture class. Very smart, very funny and quite a gifted artist. He was also nice to me as a freshman when he was a senior. Most people were surprised when he broke out in the music

You're right that it's not a binary thing. Those seem like the two most likely outcomes to me.

I hope so too, and from what I know about Tufte, he will be true to the numbers. I would be less worried if the headline read, "Bi-partisan Commission Appoints Tufte etc..." From what I know about the stimulus, it's not something I'd want

I wonder if Obama is going to like the result. I also wonder whether Tufte will visually tell the truth. It's heady stuff getting called in by the president and I could see him not wanting to make Obama look bad. Either way the result will

I've lived in 3 different cities and shopped at many different stores. The Chiquita bananas that claim to be organic are huge and look exactly like the non-organic ones. I've always thought they were probably stretching the definition of o

I've been buying organic produce for years and it definitely doesn't taste as good as non-organic produce. An organic banana is about half the size of a non organic banana, it is more mealy and it does not taste nearly as good. But if I bo

I've taken to using the realclearpolitics rss feeds b/c you can subscribe by writer rather than source. I get my news by following about a dozen or so writers who are syndicated all over the place.

He is arguing that policies that promote fairness should accept that equality of opportunity will not result in equality of outcome. He often writes about ways we can further equalize opportunity, such as giving parents vouchers that can be

Nicely put. It's also worth remembering that the first amendment states that "Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech..." Neither individuals nor corporations are mentioned nor do they matter. What matters is that C

I see the iPad as a communal home machine that floats around the house. It replaces newspapers, books, magazines, remotes (for music and hopefully TV), picture frames, and for some video game consoles. Eventually it will control your oven

Corruption is the degree to which a government prioritizes its needs over its people's needs. An early example of an anti-corruption measure would be the Magna Carta, which established limits on what an English monarch could do to his subje

If it's far outside his experiences then by definition his comment will be uninformed. Might be nicer to inform him. No need to be condescending.

It probably means its a good idea. Nobody ever gets total market and at the beginning you both have essentially zero market share. So compete hard for the clients they don't get. Or rope in people who've never heard of them. Just b/c th

It's probably that they have no way of doing so once the plane is foreign airspace. Lots of Americans are on the outbound flights so they care a great deal for the plane's safety.

Stories abound of google talking to innovators and taking their ideas. If you are a startup don't tell them a thing unless their acquiring you depends on it. Until they buy you, they are competitors. Treat them as such.
