Couldn't get it to recognize the "look of disapproval" character :-(

Great job. Needs a "pause" button IMO.

Very true. I still have a cheap USB hub in translucent plastic from the Imac First Generation era.

Back in the 90's they also included a TCP/IP stack into Win95, which used to be a (horrible) 3rd party app on Win3.1.

Hi Mike, thanks for your kind offer! We have an old Windows XP machine that I would like to replace with a newer Windows 7 one. However, my wife is used to the old machine; in particular she has Internet Explorer manage all her auto-complet

I wouldn't say that the articles' metadata (URL, title, date of download, maybe thumbnail of the 1st page) is downloaded content. It's clearly user-generated, and should be in the "home" of the app IMHO. The articles themselves, yes, send t

I can totally believe it, we went with the family once to visit/snoop around the Google campus, but if Eric Schmidt or Larry Page had showed up, I don't think I would have recognized them. (And we use Google products every day.)

My recommendation is to take your lumps and move on. Can you convince your parents to support you for a couple of years until you get your high school diploma and start college? Go into some money-making career that they approve of if neede

Thanks. I thought it was some Buddhist syllable. Like the blog post says, "poor design ruins lives"... that silly font already costed me 3 downvotes.

Please enlighten an uninitiated: what does "mo" mean in the last panel?

I think you misspelled 'amirite'. Also, yesterday's APPL fall was like 6%. Right on all remaining points.

Number 3 looks interesting. Maybe become a cloud-based competitor to VBulletin. (Make sure that transitioning from the old forum to the new one is as painless as possible, though. Forum members usually hate any changes to their forums.)

You could also try selling the Latin-America version (Spanish only) cheaper than the USA-English version.

Do they at any time say how much faster than light are those neutrinos moving? 1% faster? 100 times faster? I couldn't see that info anywhere.

Yeah, what's up with that zero-sum-game malarkey?

Depends on how much respect I have for the tool. The TCP/IP stack: strive to understand it. Random Java SOAP abomination: get in, make it work, get out.

Apart from D. Foster Wallace, another pioneer in the usage of ironic prose in journalism would be Wired Magazine. (They started publication in 1993.)

Perl programmers do seem to comment a lot... the "#" looks almost as heavily used as the "$", which is mandatory for variables.

Fair enough. Usually, when I copy files to USB I have 2 windows open and drag from one to another. The "send to" email, however: I don't think you can use it with any web-based email, correct? Do people usually have Outlook set up on their
