Why can't they just eliminate header files first? Why is C/C++ practically the only language that requires headers? Why do I need to type each function declaration twice. It is so cumbersome!
Actually, facebook's protocols should have been open by now. What if the first telephone company ever (AT&T?) didn't open up their protocols? Would that be acceptable? Answer: No. What if e-mail was a closed protocol run by google? Would that be acceptable? Answer: No.
So why are facebook's protocols open (a mass communication service like the others)?
Imagine you're using your laptop in the subway, some guy wearing Glass sits next to you, peeks at your screen for 1 second, and starts analyzing what you're working on, using his Glass.
PS: I wonder what Glass would have looked like if a human's ears were not located at approximately the same height as their eyes.
Even if you do believe in evolution, it might be more advantageous to believe not in it. Why? Well, the brain evolved (no pun intended) with religion. It is rather silly to think you can eliminate such an important part of your psyche without introducing an imbalance of some kind. The brain is too complex, and the unconscious mind is too powerful.
But what if Shaeffer was, simultaneously, researching this?
Assuming they took a systematic approach as well, testing all possible combinations of viscosities and form-factors, they should arrive at more or less the same design.
Patents are built upon the misconception that what one person invents, another person cannot invent.
If it takes an infant two years with the best "computer" in the universe that we know of to learn how to talk, why should we think it will take a machine at even the top-end of the supercomputer scale (which can't have as many "connections" as the average human brain) any less?
Wrong. Soon after the tax is installed, consumers will figure out that there is an imbalance in price due to advertising. As a result, price comparison websites will sprout, and will eliminate the advertised products based on the price difference.

Why do more and more totally unrelated products suddenly come from Google?
Seems like there is a flaw in capitalism at work here. Perhaps somebody ought to fix it.
This is /. so shouldn't that be "Run xbill, ..." ?
Well, if you run xkill, you'd kill the complete program with all the Bills in it with a single click. So, much more efficient.

Therefore, I demand to pay at least a few cents for a service before using it. (Slashdot being an exception).
Time for steganography then...

It's time to have PGP on facebook. I hope somebody creates a decent javascript tool to encrypt/decrypt stuff browser-side.
Well, you can always opt-out by directing a laser-pen onto the Glass...
Google engineers are brilliant!
They have found the cure against the number 1 killer disease in the US... boredom!
Thank you, Google, for saving us! As a gift in return, you may have a peek at all our personal affairs.
Google's is very well behaved by the way, so please don't spread FUD.
Yeah, well we all thought the NSA was well-behaved. Look how that turned out.
GUIs are walled gardens in that features available in one piece of software is not available to other pieces of software.
If only Members of Congress were programmers, companies would be modular entities instead of the monolithic monsters they are now.
iFixit has posted a teardown of Apple's new trash-can-shaped Mac Pro.
There, FTFY.
The difference is that a company with greedy shareholders has its slimey hands on your images.

Women, on the other hand, need only a scale with two degrees of freedom:

Huh? Of course if you're heavy you are looking for a slim counterpart. You don't want your offspring to be super-heavy, right?

Soon to be acquired by... Apple, Google or Facebook?

Because neurons are much slower than transistors?
(I stand corrected then. Thanks for looking it up.)

Think of it as the MPAA-style difference between "home use" and "commercial use".
Why is this modded down?
Since when are car analogies not appreciated anymore?
Actually, back in the days that Google started, I never opted-in for any automated service to crawl and cache my site's data.
