no, they just plain don't. they all come with isights and firewire and DVD burners and such. comparisons i've seen with equivalent PCs are roughly equal. if you want lots of RAM or a larger harddrive, you probably have to buy that separat

all barriers to doing something do, in fact, matter. the more barriers, the less people will use the flag. just like any tiny barrier to signing up for your website is important.

WoW has very repetitive PvM gameplay (so do its competitors). No one seems to mind very much. I guess Blizzard's designers understand what most people want in a game much better than I do (I love Warcraft 3. I tried to play WoW, but got bor

It's disappointing that stories like this get 50+ points. I fear the non-commenting population here is much dumber than the commenters.

Don't ask for people's passwords. Ugh. Just because other sites are acting badly doesn't mean you should too. Those sites that want your passwords have not figured out a decent solution to the problem. That's an opportunity. Do something be

it should be my choice what i want to do with a pdf. viewing in scribd is one of many things i might want to do. yc shouldn't make that decision for me. scribd should release a browser plugin instead (if they haven't), and leave it up to us

I think it's caused by people posting questions without searching for the answer first. This has been addressed repeatedly already.

You tested a theory you had. You wanted some evidence about whether it was true, or not. I'd called that 'satisfying curiosity' or some other positive term.

So did anyone else assume it was 11.5 hours per day ? And then wonder how they managed it with 8 hours of school, and 5 hours of tv, per day?

Your initial assumption that someone who disagrees with you is probably doing so for irrational or biased reasons is meaningful. I have in fact thought about these issues. It certainly is possible that I've made a mistake. It's also pos

make it so comments can't be modded below -5 (or -10). there's no value after that.

You should probably ignore downvotes until at least -2. It could be just one random idiot and it doesn't mean anything.

i'm sick of imprecise posts. the above post is not "nothing more" than an advertisement, even if you're right that that is the primary motivation.

I understand that some people will disagree. I might be wrong. That's no reason for him to be harsh. It's good for the poster to get a variety of advice.

Why so harsh? I think he'd be better off reading SICP than a java book, despite the short term reasons to do otherwise. And so what if it's in scheme? if he can't understand scheme then he's not a proficient programmer.
