Really? I don't know anyone who hunts and pecks. Most people even use two thumbs when they text on their phone. H&P is sooo 1997.
Interestingly, I think I'd rather type on my phone then that keyboard.
Atran says he faces an emotional and intellectual struggle to live without God in a nonatheist world...
This thinking is what really bothers me. Atheism is not the beleif; theism is. If you're an atheist you are not practicing a form of religion, you're not practicing a form of religion.
Yes, I would say you just volunteered you consulting services to Office Max. Of course, they didn't ask for it, and it only took your about 1 minute, so it's not much of a volunteer effort. If you stayed on the phone for half a day with their HR rep going over staffing decisions, it would still be volunteering, only in that case it would actually be worth mentioning.

Well, it's a "scripting language", but it won't get started and stopped on every request like a Perl script in 1995. Groovy compiles to Java ByteCode, so the application server doesn't know you were naughty and didn't use a completely statically typed language.
Why yes, it is. I can get a lot more music on a 4-gig iPhone with a lossy codec then a lossless one. All my music compressed with FLAC wouldn't even fit on an 80-gig iPod. Portable storage doesn't tend to get much bigger then it needs to, and it needs to be large enough for lossy codecs.
They should make some kind of stripped down computer that you could hook up to your TV and wirelessly stream video to from iTunes. That would even be better then burning a DVD and walking it the 10 feet over to the TV. Those bastards would never do that though.
"Photoshop is 'cmd-space+p+h+enter' and it is open."
Actually, it's cmd-space+p+h+[down arrow]+enter. I'm waiting for Leopard when it will finally just select the top item for me.
If someone can figure out how to take the impurities out of the air in my living room after I've come home from El Torito's, I'd call that a pretty good, renewable source of methane.
Really? I just started a new project last week and the first thing I did was try to integrate an OpenID system in with ASP's built in user management. I got the ASP libraries, mulled over some example code, and had it done in about half a day. It was all pretty straight-forward for me.
Well, if you're a mess over privacy, just create a new OpenID for every site. It will take you just as long as registering all over again each time and you'll have a new login and password to remember for every site, just how you like it. Another idea is to create one OpenID for non-trustworthy sites, and one for the rest. OpenID doesn't take away anything you have now, it just gives you more options if you want them.
The "long tailpipe" argument has completely dried up by now, yet every time there's an EV story on/. or digg, about 40 people bring it up. Please actually look into your argument before you slap it all over the web.

Because the first example is equivalent to someone just handing the hosting company 50 bucks a month as a free gift. Money is exchanged, but nothing happens. In the second example, money is exchanged AND people work very hard for a long time to earn it and yet produce nothing. It would be like me paying you to dig a hole and then fill it in. The time you spend doing that is time you can't spend curing cancer.
I think the problem is exactly that the encryption is done by the client, not the server. This means that before a song can be guaranteed to never have DRM applied, there has to be 100% penetration of an iTunes update, which will never happen. So, the best they could ever say to an indie label is, "Your song won't be DRMed on some percentage of computers that download it." Maybe people would be okay with that, but it could also be a big headache for Apple.
Here in Oregon there are some nights during the winter when it's been raining during the day, but it then drops into the low 20s during the night, turning the roads into ice rinks until about 9 the next morning when the sun comes out again. I usually walk to work on those days, but if I had to drive, I wouldn't leave before 9. If my job said it was no excuse, well, I guess I'd be screwed.
Scientology and the LDS don't have the benefit of thousands of years of obfuscation. The big three would be just as wacky if they were thought up 50 years ago. If you follow one religion, you better keep quite about all the others, lest the parallels come back to bite you in the ass.
It's not users being idiots, it's users having other priorities. I bet there's an automotive forum somewhere that has a thread of people complaining about how the general population is too stupid to notice slight pinging in their engine on acceleration and realize that the timing is off. It probably has 1,000 replies like "If people are too dumb to figure these things out, they shouldn't be driving." But you know what, I bet if my car started pinging, I wouldn't notice and after a couple months like that I may blow up my engine, or whatever bad happens in that circumstance. Why? Because I'm a geek and my car is just a tool. I want it to work so I can focus on what's actually important to me. That doesn't make me an idiot.
I have this discussion with people all the time who seem to think that pharma companies have razor-thin margins and spend all their money on R&D. The truth is that their margins are between 20% and 30% and they spend massive amounts of money on marketing. If you want a company with tiny margins and huge R&D expenses, look at AMD, not Phizer.

I get all my music from Amazon and Half.com. They are totally DRM free. I'm not sure why I need PureTracks.

Sorry, for some reason when I read "reflective" optics I thought "diffractive" for some reason. My mistake.
