How is taxing stock option gains more 'audacious' than taxing income gains? They both are taxing work. Why is one more 'audacious' than another?

I'd like a sync thing so that my system settings (e.g. vimrc) and other things are easily replicated from machine to machine. I tried Ubuntu One but for whatever reason I couldn't get it to work.

To help new users making the switch to Ubuntu you could work with OEM vendors to provide a Ubuntu + VirtualBox + Windows install. That way users can occasionally switch back to Windows, if they have to.

Oracle is a classic case where being first was everything. In Oracle's case, being first in number of databases sold. I am on a new project in an 'enteprisey' environment and a decision was made to use Oracle database simply because that's

I rent. There's no shame in renting. Most people whose home was repossed aren't homeless - they went back to renting. I didn't buy a house because I educated myself about the 3X rule. You should only buy a house that is worth 3X your in

My 2 cents is to create a 'Local' section that features local writers, artists and anything else local - local Websites, and get a cut for providing local merchants with a space to market their wares.

I just took a walk on a sunny day to the bookstore to browse the magazine rack, stopped by the coffee shop to get a Latte and bought a cupcake at the new bakeshop. Things are pretty awesome in the U.S. of A as far as I'm concerned. Oh and l

You've probably seen a lot of other people's Java code. Does it typically look like what you wrote or the code on github?

What is Doug Cutting is saying these days about Java? He wrote Lucene, Hadoop and other awesome things in Java. I don't like Java much but I'd love to hear his side of the argument.

Many of the other languages write this in functions that are first class citizens. The functions are ready to be used. In Java you would still need to put this inside another class to make it run and other classes would need to instantiate

umm is that supposed to show off Erlang? Maybe it's just me but for such a simple task that looks bad.

I find the creation of the body text kinda ugly. Isn't Clojure a way to make code easier to read and write? Why does the body look so ugly?

As far as facebook: No one would have heard of facebook if not for facemash As far as Google: One person's raw dump of data is someone else's valueable copyrighted material. I could argue grabbing Google "raw dump" of bytes and presenting i

I find it interesting that Google and Facebook got their start by getting data from other sites and then presenting it in a new way. Search engines and social networks don't start from nothing. Now that other people are grabbing their data

That's why it's interesting. You say Google adds value. Other's don't think so. Why can't I add value to Google's content and present it in my own way?

This is starting to get interesting. Google makes money aggregating other people's content. What happens when people aggregate Google's content? What's fair?
