Spammers and 419 bots probably account for a good chunk of hotmail (and yahoo) usage.

Sorry to burst your bubble. This is one of the dumbest comments I've ever seen here. I don't know where you studied debate or 'logical fallacies' as you put it. Here's a more apt analogy for you: It's as if you argued that most Asians have

And you can keep saying "most", it still doesn't dispute the fact that without hard data or more solid anecdotal evidence to back your claim, you're mostly talking out of your arse.

He says most X, and then supports that with anecdotal evidence some of which is false. In fact I can come up with more examples of exceptions than he can come up with examples that conform to his thesis. Jack Dorsey (twitter,square), Elon M

This all makes sense. But having read through it, am I the only one who feels this reads more like an advice column disguised as science than the real deal, even with all the cited double blind studies.

I don't see anyone creating anything with an 8-track or VHS tape except as a novelty because it would be painfully slow and the quality not up to par compared with what we have now. It's only useful if he's creating stuff and earning mone

I see a problem with this approach. In 5 years much of your equipment will be obsolete and have almost zero value on the second hand market. And if you do decide to use them, everyone will have moved on to new media/software.

"The money stinks as a comic" A classic case of oversupply perhaps. Far too people quitting their day jobs to do stand-up full-time because someone in the office laughed at their jokes.

A small price to pay for good taste. After all we have to represent ourselves to future generations not to mention aliens that accidentally bump into our internet.

Wow. Talk about being blinded by religion. (In this case atheism).

This is very wrong. As pioneer astronauts Armstrong and Cernan had an important say in the Gemini and Apollo program especially in regard to safety procedures and 'human' friendliness (both are trained engineers by the way). At my work plac

The documents toward the end are interesting. At first I thought, "wtf they sent out field agents to dust for his fingerprints?" But a few documents later and apparently he and a couple others at Apple where victims of a bomb threat and the
