Self reference much? This is published research... Clearly these findings are false... or maybe not? Dammit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liar_paradox

"Plenty of companies have tried Internet distribution for a long time. Some have success, and some don’t. But none have the type of central repository that Apple is offering here. This is going to be huge." What about pretty much every linu

Yeah, at first it seems a little disappointing, but he got paid . I guess he doesn't have a continued job, and he won't get the fame of designing the minecraft site, but he's certainly not a loser.

This is a sad attempt to reconcile with the community. It's hardly a proposal when they already seem intent on following through with this plan. It's not exactly an RFC. Not to mention the flaws present pointed out by the other commenters..

Why not create a new URL handler that takes an app-specific user ID that redirects to the correct profile page only if the logged-in user has permission to view the page? That way, you would normally only be able to see what the world wou

True, you can host your own repo with just `git init`! But, Github really handles the social element of code well. I really like how they encourage forking & collaboration. They also provide an issue tracker, wiki, and some webpage func

How would someone set up their own computer to do something like this? NX seems to be a lot more responsive than VNC & it's ilk...

The sum of Base & Overtime is $78,355.20... which is really close to Other. I don't know why the total is the sum, though.

That just seems like a bad idea. Aren't successful dropouts an edge-case?

Who knew. Everyone jokes how his paintings can be replicated by an infant , but I guess there's a lot of subtlety. Very cool. ( I wouldn't claim this, as its easier to copy something once it's already done.)

Pretty cool. And they're not too sketchy! The only one I was put off by was #6, hiding your free plan. Although it certainly makes sense, I know I get easily pissed off by this sort of thing. If you follow the other rules, and put it off to

Are there any screenreader software packages that can output a transcript of what they're reading aloud? That'd make it infinitely easier for web developers to test pages...

Thanks a ton! You're lucky to get that. Can you do forwarding? I don't want to have to worry about keeping the IP (or bothering you again) If so, can you do zach.ww.com -> ww.zbanks.net ?

Thanks. I assumed it would. Cool link.

I cringe whenever people bring up point 1. Just because your front-end uses JS, doesn't mean that the same code runs on the back-end. You still have to write new code. I guess there are 2 good parts about it, though. For one, you get aw

Another trick is to do the loop backwards: for(var i = arr.length - 1; i >= 0; i--){...} I remember seeing a test that noted a visible difference between the two. Its arguable, however, if it makes a significant difference in the grand

It would be cool if governments could acknowledge this mark so it can be used in earnest.

Agreed. Using Laura Ingles is completely arbitrary. What if you brought one of the first humans on North America around? What if you brought someone from 100 years ago?

Awesome. It'd be cool to see http://tryhaskell.org/ use this. Also, when using the REPL, it stops after about 2 seconds trying to print "[0..]", which is a very nice feature.

Haskell, but not programming in it. Haskell really drilled in the concept of functional programming. As much as I struggle to write 'normal' code in it, the computational aspects are really fun to write. However, after a while, I began to

Javascript also has an incredibly built-in yet rich interface for GUIs that most languages don't have. You can easily use HTML to make an interface. With most other languages (exception: VB, ha), it takes significant effort to marry the fr

Linebreaks would be great. Even if you just spaced them every 3 sentences, it would improve readability greatly . It may seem totally arbitrary, but right now the wall of text is rather daunting. Also, set .body { margin: auto; } -- it wil

Baking soda = sodium bicarbonate = a base Baking powder = a base + a (dry) acid (+ an anti-caking agent) Baking soda lowers acidity of foods. Baking powder, however, will create air bubbles whenever exposed to moisture. ("Double-acting" ver
