10 minutes? What planet do you live in and how much is the rent for a one bedroom? :) If I wait 10 minutes I consider myself lucky, usually more like 30.

It's easy to make claims about branches of history that never occurred. It seems like an absurd scenario where computers weren't widely adopted, but it's not really so absurd if you think about it.

I wonder why they are not offering ogg vorbis support. Is it just not as popular? Are the files typically larger? Either way, it's a glaring omission imo.

Agreed. The author has way too much time on his hands.

Hahaha this post is a troll. There's a reason why the expression "feeding" the trolls is popular. Trolls only exist if you let them.

I will argue that simple text editor does not usually equal simple + powerful. Most "simple" text editors (think Notepad) are just plain simple. Emacs seems quite simple to me, actually. Intimidating at first, sure. Complex to master , but

The above goes for me as well. You might not have meant for it to be that way, but you just happened to use a pattern of sentences used by people with hidden criticism quite frequently.

There's been a lot of comments saying something to the effect of "this guy does not understand the difference between full-time employees and contractors" or "people doing manual work should be paid less than employees." Yet the author ment

Was anybody else annoyed that the video spent too much time showing the audience/presenter instead of the screen? Follow up/related question: She mentions that the slides would be uploaded online. Where?

Another important point you make is that Clarkson is indeed notorious for being opinionated and biased. The viewer must accept that to watch Top Gear. I think Tesla is over-reacting. Clarkson is not a friend of the environmentalists; they

I don't teach math the way you are thinking about it though. What I mean by math is more like the way of thinking and not specific math concepts. I mean they learn boolean logic but really it is more of gaining comfort with defining and wor

I saw Conrad's talk a few months ago and I couldn't agree more. In fact I am attempting to put his theory in general by teaching math through programming at the moment. I wanted to add a caveat to your confidence point though. We need to en

It's not just that more class time in the summer would--if used appropriately--lead to more learning. It is also that better-off students learn much more over the summer than their poorer counter-parts. Thus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S

While I agree that too much of a good thing is a bad thing, I disagree with the spirit of the article. Yes, children should not be adults. But let's face it, America's percentage of overbooked, stressed, kids is nothing compared to the over
