FTA:Does OS X really offer any applications that would entice me to purchase a new Mac and put up with the tedium of Boot Camp? I doubt it.
It's not necessarily the applications that will persuade people. He should look at the ipod -- is that the only mp3 player out there or anywhere close to the cheapest? People want Apple's because of the trend and the way the hardware looks.
The AJAX replies feature isn't for replying to comments, it's for those links that say "X Replies below your threshold." It makes it so you don't have to load a new page to see those replies.
It's displaying all of those comments (X number of them), but there are also the comments that are right at the threshold and those don't seem to be displayed. Am I missing something?
A lot of the time those are the ones I want to read too...if my threshold is three for example I probably want to see the one comment that is a 3 nested one level down, not necessarily the 26 others that are 1's and 2's.
This is just my small observation; ontw, definitely an extension that will get a lot of use from me though. Thanks!
The question itself is good, but I'm not sure about the analogy.
"Converging on correctness," is not the goal of the stock market; I think most economists would say whatever a stock currently trades at is technically correct.
In other words its value is relative: whatever someone is willing to pay for it at that moment is its value.
Yes it is full of asshats. Many traders make trades based on simplistic and short-sighted outlooks. If profits fall short of projections there may be some initial selling like we saw because people have to cover after already "buying the rumor," they have to sell the fact. The real investors who aren't quite so impetuous however and aren't just jumping on the trend hoping to make a quick buck are now bringing the price back up to its value.
If anyone has a google personalized home setup, you will see that when you attempt to drag one of the areas displaying feeds from a particular source, there is a hanging issue that prevents the areas from rearranging and moving correctly. Just one of the issues I've noticed in the first twenty minutes..
When I sold mine on eBay I didn't know if it was technically legal or not but I certainly wasn't going to delete several hundred songs just so I could mail the buyer an empty one. I didn't charge extra for it and I didn't see anyone doing that at the time, but I guess feel like it's just a little (no, a lot) "cheap" to try and squeeze that extra bit cash for something that you're not really losing...
I'm sorry but your argument about money doesn't make logical sense. You are essentially saying that the compensation has more monetary value to the Indian so they care more, but that conclusion doesn't necessarily follow; you would think the person for whom it has less value would care more.
While there's general themes that always have positive returns, the can't be a formula for big success because if there were then once it was known it would not work anymore.
That's not true in general; just because there is a formulaic means to success, doesn't mean it is easy or even feasible to satisfy all aspects of the formula.
I don't have a lot of spending money, about $15 every two weeks. And yet, I wouldn't trade any amount of money or so-called social freedom for my family.
Hate to say it but this is probably the opinion you would expect from someone who had children before they were ready. The point is, it is not a question of trading your actual family it is just a question of waiting a little longer until you start the family so you can be more comfortable and buy your lunch every now and then. That said you deserve credit for your resolve and optimism.
I think if you could become addicted to simply surfing the web, the chances are you have much more serious pyschological problems than the just the addiction itself. This could not be said for other conditions such as alcoholism.
Almost every post on Digg is of the same quality and so they'd all have to mod'd (-1, "Worthless"). Filtering really wouldn't help too much in that situation unless you just filtered them all out...
The new interface actually looks a lot better. Microsoft innovates when they have to, and the GUI changes here including "The Ribbon" are perfectly sensible. It reminds me of different 'perspectives' in tools like Eclipse and WSAD somewhat and makes infinitely more sense than poking around through textual drop-down menus. Open Office should have done this first.
"Type Managers" wouldn't be a hinderance as described in the article though because they abstract the filesystem -- that is whole point as I understand what he is saying. We should always be able to use a commandline or something to directly access the filesystem and do what we want with it.
I think the author is right though that most people eventually should not have to ever care about what the organization of the filesystem is or how the OS implements it; they will use apps specific to what they want to do.
If you have Steam, which is the Valve content distribution system that comes with Half Life 2 and other games you can download "Codename Gordon" which is a pretty decent 2-D Flash game. It is free if you own one of their other games. It is really not that great but is a good example of what has been done recently along those lines.
I would say the causation works in the opposite direction. If you are the type of person that often has that level of overestimation regarding your abilities, you are probably less prone to study to the point of perfecting something, and hence less likely to demonstrate a mastery during an exam.
No, it means that the same purple "visualization" that everybody has adored for so many years is back again to provide us with musical experiences enhanced beyond our wildess dreams.
It is right there, featured centrally in screen shot 1; be happy.
"Asking companies to insure someone whom they know will have this disease in the future is the same as going up to a doctor and asking him to operate for free."
I think you should reread the original post; nowhere did the poster disagree with this statement. The topic related to whether or not there should be some form of genetic privacy, which would potentially prevent the companies from knowing when someone has a high probability of having that disease.
"You know if you give it, you're gambling with your privacy. On the other hand, you do want at least one message from that person. The answer is to give them a mailinator address." --from the website
Isn't that gambling with your privacy as well though, to store the email you want to receive in an inbox that anybody can access? Other than that it's a pretty cool site/idea; however, I think a lot of people have email accounts already that they dedicate to web usage.
"When somebody starts telling me that they used 5 different patterns in their program and they're proud of it - then I know the code is crap."
Might be a little too bold of an assumption. A lot of people like myself enjoy using patterns and *gasp* do even look for ways to use them. Doesn't mean the code isn't good; I mean if there are multiple ways to write it and one is based on a standard that there is little wrong with (the particular pattern in question) and the other way is just how you intuitively think about it, the chances are the former will be more beneficial, cleaner, extensible, etc, etc, etc.
The double-click is nice, to center the image and increase the zoom level by one notch.
Some of the scrolling features seem potentially cool, how you don't have to click in the direction you want to the image to scroll on the compass, you can just drag outwards a little bit then change the scrolling direction by mousing-over another part of the compass.

Gmail works much better in Firefox than in IE.
Maybe he really does have control over who they date and is trying to play it off like he doesn't.

I think you are missing an 's' there: 'are belongs to us'. It makes it funnier.

This is the best by far I have heard. Demands a couple listenings: you will laugh.
