Is something wrong with you? You are usually reasonable, intelligent and have a good point, but this - what on earth gives you the idea that only females by stuff? I pay for last.fm to give me recommendations for music that I will properly

My parents had a simple rule they instituted after our food fights: You can eat what is on the table or go hungry - obviously if there was only 4 of some kind, I would only get to eat one. That means that if I didn't care about a particular

Then come up with simple rules (no more than 8 words total) for when to use one or the other. English has the most moddy grammar of all languages, with so many exceptions and shit - this is one of the things I hope disappear as the world em

I have seen how much time Facebook eats, so between Reddit and hacker news I don't have more to waste. Granted I could properly just ignore it most days, but then people would be annoyed that I haven't friended them yet, send me messages th

That might work, but why give them the ability to post stories initially? That way, to get karma they would have to be able to impress the insiders with what they have to bring to the table personally and can't just find some good stuff mad

I flagged that article, but I guess I don't have enough karma for it to matter yet. I properly also triggered the spam filter, because I just went to the thread and downvoted all the comments.

Personally I don't care. Unless I am writting a letter to the Queen, I will use lose/loose as I fancy, and I hope no one here will waste a braincell trying to figure out the difference between effect and affect. Correct grammar is for peopl

Could we please keep politics of the front page?

Perhaps not, but you can ship a physical drive to Amazon and they will put it into the cloud for you.

The problem is that there is way of the developers to filter the companies - I don't want any company to be able to see my CV, I want much more info and control, if I am to pay (especially that much money) I want better service, uptime guar

If start ups shouldn't pay for the privileges of pitching, why should employees pay for the right to pitch to employers?

I would expect that what I store in any cloud server is never lost, so having two problems would EBS would be enough for me not to trust them again.

That is good and all, but does little when the badware steals your passwords to your online bank.

That might work for them because they are using the builtin webkit engine - but you can do the same by controlling IE via OLE, and unlike the method used in the article it is no different from a user who browsed with IE normally.

The only way to solve the problem is to figure out a good way to allow humans to be healty while they eat crap.

I doubt it somewhat - Google isn't the kind of company that likes to be in the position of dependence on anybody else.

My bubble alarm has been going on for years, but I predicted that neighter Facebook nor Twitter would ever have a viable business model and I have already been proved wrong on Facebook at least - I assumed that it was the harder of the two.

PG is wrong on the subject of patents though: the problem with software patents is that if you are building a car the price of having a lawyer work out if you are violating a couple patents is a lot less than 1%, but it would properly make

They would properly make more by jumping ahead of the game and starting to earn 75 million/year.

The best solution would be to produce content nobody else has - but that means doing real journalism (which has not happened since Watergate). I won't pay a penny to a newspaper to read about Britney.

Sure you have to gamble, but the only way this will make money for Murdoch is if makes less money on people who comes to his site from a search than it costs to serve that page; unless he has gotten the worst bandwidth-deal of the century.

That might be useful if you had something complicated to remember, but wouldn't you tend to ignore a checklist that had as a single point "Wash your hands"?

Sadly the place I live by cable for all the units, whether we want it or not otherwise I might go for something like that as well (it would be far cheaper too, since I would only watch one or two shows). Sadly it does not appear as if iTune
