I upgraded to IE9 to test a web app I'm working on, with the usual "1st IE test" dread. Surprised and super pleased by how well it worked. Way less awful than previous IE versions, in my limited testing. Even looks better - less cluttered u

Ah, cool. I like the legal system bit. Seems that we have a system in place to deal with these people (criminals), and we should think long and hard before implementing something else on top of it. Or in between it. I wonder if this kind of

Eh, maybe they should be blocked. Is it possible to look at the very very very small minority of users in an area that use tons of bandwidth, see what they're downloading, and make a correct decision to block them? There may be technical ch

I was homeschooled, so I don't have any first-hand experience, but in my possibly flawed observation: High-school has always seemed to me a very artificial and unhealthy sort of social environment, where the social hierarchies and rules are

That choice seems more obviously between two evils than the climate change issue. :) I do acknowledge, as the other commenter suggested, that my view may be warped by being from the USA, where the battle is still about whether it exists at

I don't understand why you would argue against using facts as the basis for debate. We're not giving proper weight to people's spiritual beliefs related to climate change? "Don't use science to get around politics" sounds like a joke. I mea

I read it, and kept wondering if he was saying that if we're not formally trained in whatever the issue is, we should assume it's valid simply because the people involved are formally trained. It seems that it would be dangerous to take thi

Nice money for a month. Game looks interesting, too. Is it better marketing or better quality, for an app without obvious universal appeal like this? Guess I'm wondering how the average user discovers apps...

Why would Apple create a stripped down 'iPhone lite', as the article suggests? Sounds very un-Appley, and seems to take away the major plus of choosing an iphone (apps). If it comes to the Verizon network, I'll definitely get one, as long a

Homeschooled all the way (til I started college classes at 15), in Ashland, VA (near Richmond). Worked for me, and my brothers, but my mom was really involved and committed to it. That's an essential component. :) My mom now writes home-sch

I can't directly relate -- I was homeschooled from grade 1 up, started college classes (at community college) at 15, transferred at 17 and finished my bachelor's at 19. But as far as I recall, once I started doing College classes, I didn't

We may end up 'finding' the magical secret of making money in any medium; make good stuff. Are complete crap apps making tons of money? Probably not. I don't see the surprise in well-made or original apps being successful. I guess the surpr

I wonder why it's necessary to write articles like this... Are there a lot of people out there who may have thought they were entrepeneurs, but needed to be convinced they're not via a list of traits they need to possess?

So? The 'average' IQ could be 200, which would make a lot of 'below-average' people still really smart. :)

Yeah... I read somewhere that the GM bailout should come with the requirement of replacing their current vehicles with a hybrid/electric/whatever lineup in X number of years. I would be happier about a bailout with those sort of strings, bu

It makes me feel happily small inside to think that we can successfully send an 800lb machine tens of millions of miles to Mars and have it dig stuff, and send back pictures. I have no real basis for understanding the complexity involved, a

"Partial crack". "They have not, however, managed to crack the encryption keys used to secure data that goes from the PC to the router in this particular attack." Is that a trivial next step, or is the headline misleading?

Wake up earlyish, work in a small garden office with the windows open and the crisp fall air streaming in, break for lunch on patio with my wife, read a book, go on a walk in the countryside. I dunno. I think I'd like it, though. I'd still

Is this the same type thing as dogster? http://www.dogster.com/ I saw dogster a while ago and went, "dang, great idea. Too bad I didn't think of it first." I'm never optimistic enough about the space in a niche for > 1 players.
