awesome things like making it illegal to sell Word and therefore Office How about just making your open source alternative to Word and Office that much better and competing with them? * edit: downmodded without justification. Wonderful. W

"I had in mind that all things being otherwise equal and being occupied with more or less the same stuff for the duration of the existence of said list." Fair enough. "And I don't play the lottery ;)" Nor do I; 'twas just a thought experime

I don't think this is the criterion you want - if I won the lottery, for example, my to-do list would explode with all the new possibilities presented before me; however, if that happened, I certainly wouldn't consider it a bad day. :)

""This does not work"? It works for me." Inheriting money might make someone a millionaire - that doesn't make "Have a rich uncle" a viable financial plan. "Having a rich uncle" therefore "does not work". The same goes for making a simple l

Taking out the trash is not intrinsically pleasurable, like playing Call of Duty, or masturbating. Or masturbating while playing Call of Duty. You take out the trash, study instead of playing games, or save your money for the longer-term ef

"Arrange your life around what you like. That’s it! You’re done. You’ll be happy forever." Who would have thought that heroin addicts had the secret of life? Not everything is pleasurable - sometimes you just have to suck it up and take out

If the customers act honestly and do pay exactly what they would pay if the manufacturer had set the prices I think you should be more explicit in step two. http://blog.stackoverflow.com/wp-content/uploads/then-a-mira...

You might argue that employment is optional, but this is not the case in practice especially if you have a family to support. OK so let's engage in a thought experiment - we make employment optional, so you don't have to work even if you

and saying "there aren't enough [insert gender/race/other meaningless criterion] in here, so let's add some" is a great way to be full of shit.

OK how about this for a name - "Data Without Borders"? or maybe the Lewinsky Club ("I'm going to say this again: we DO NOT have relations.") http://www.instantrimshot.com

I dunno about a name, but how about this for a slogan - "You can sign up, but don't ever JOIN."

Eric Sink, author of a competing non-distributed version control system? yeah he's only interested in promoting Vault. Except he didn't mention Vault at all during that exchange on DVCS - he only mentioned Subversion as an alternative non

by discojesus 17y ago
I'm pretty sure you just made that up. Sorry, I'm going to go with Eric Sink's opinion on this over yours (nothing personal). It seems pretty obvious to me that subversion's program model is way closer to the naive user model than git's i

by discojesus 17y ago
Why do you think subversion is easier to start with? the program model of a system like subversion pretty much == the user model for source control for someone who is new to source control. Hence, easy to start with. You have to understa

Start with svn or mercurial to get a feel for what it's all about. You can always step up to git when they don't cut it anymore. exactly - if he starts out with something like git, he's probably going to burn out and have a bad impression

by discojesus 17y ago
Sweet jumping jesus YES. And don't start withi git - start with subversion, and move on to git or mercurial later. Subversion is much easier to start out with.

my favorite feature in the new version of Fogbugz. the only issue I've ever had with it is that if you enter in your parent case and subcases but then find that they are accidentally under the wrong project, the only way (AFAIK) to move the

you need: 1) less text (as others have mentioned) and 2) a punchline. Perhaps involving a scenario where the programmer tells the boss that he's using SQL in Excel, causing the boss to irrationally fear that powerful programs are breeding w

I believe "daemon" is pronounced "dee-mon", not "day-mon". http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?demon001=dae... Still funny though.

A valid point, however not providing such a control group in this case would mean that you're simply assuming that your definition of 'decent and fair payment' is accurate, which is quite a large assumption.
