"In effect, B&M stores have been giving a huge, inadvertent subsidy to online stores the entire time and I can't help but imagine that's what's really crippled their businesses." True, but on the other hand online stores subsidize B&#38

20 years from now we'll be finding things using technology we've never thought of, that was made by someone we've never heard of.

I agree. Case in point: the housing bubble. I frequently read from a blog called thehousingbubbleblog from 2004 to 2008 and learned about the looming crisis from all kinds of insiders - mortgage folks, appraisers, etc. On the other hand,

I hear a lot of talk about how things have changed. Have you guys read Liars Poker? This stuff has been going on since the dawn of time.

I think this post is ridiculous. You know how many great law firms have website themes from the 90s? How many great restaurants have that crappy flash intro? Lots of them and I'm still going to use their service regardless. "How depressin

I don't think push state is supported in IE (except ie 10): http://caniuse.com/#search=pushstate This makes it a non-starter for me.

Will someone from Canonical team up with someone like Samsung to create a kick-ass, no hassle Linux laptop with a decent battery life? I've got money I'm dying to give you!

No. The "do no evil" was a way of saying let's not be like Microsoft and allow ourself to engage in unfair business practices. Google is now like Microsoft.

What is theft? Apple is suing multiple companies in the name of IP theft. Well I think these anti-poaching agreements are a form of theft. Employees did not receive fair market salaries. It's not black and white, but you can't say Apple i

At least some of the software designed to detect malicious behavior assumes the ip is in ipv4 format. Example: I'm pretty sure fail2ban doesn't support ipv6, yet.

offtopic: I love how with Github I can get to the source in just a few clicks. Its still a scavenger hunt with sourceforge.

I agree they are different. Not having a physical security system may lead to violence against your family. Far more serious than almost any plain text password. You got a lot of time at work to right 4 points as to why you think my point

How about playing the devils advocate. How many people here own homes without a security system or don't use that system every day? It can be a pain turning the system off and on every time you leave the house. If you were in the physical

It's my understanding that the cost to create a new power plant powered by solar cells is cheaper than the cost to build a new plant powered by coal or oil.

The story, as told to me by a guy that is very connected in the US solar industry: 1) SolarWorld, a German company, filed a complaint with the US government. 2) A bureaucrat in DC thought it would be a good idea to take the complaint serio

I could take a day long course in marketing and speak like a marketing exec..so what? That doesn't mean I'd be capable of solving real world marketing problems. How about on day 2 the new web coder gets an assignment: The client wants an

You're right. Finding vulnerabilities is not easy. I was talking about people in the security industry that just like to talk.

Right on. These folks like to talk about how they can pown everything under the sun. That kind of talk is cheap and easy. On the other hand, writing an article with tangible ways to protect your MongoDB database would take some effort an
