Because environmentalists have never cared one whit about science. The 70s they were predicting eminant ice age, now they're predicting global warming, in another 20 years it will …

The bottom line is, what gives you the right to tell people how they have to run their restaurant? And to use violence to enforce it? You quickly throw out the market, (and claim t…

And of course, no counter arguments. Just modding down. The cowardly way of those who know they cant' defend their position.

Because I worked there, and I saw first hand the way that company is run. I've worked for a wide variety of companies, including what is now HP and Microsoft, a number of startups …

No, you don't understand economics, and you concede this point when you use the phrase "mainstream economics"... this is a common tactic of socialists to try and cover the fact tha…

"small"? The world has been under assault by these "small" (read socialist) people for the last 108 years... they've managed to murder 100 million people at least in that time peri…

OH MY GOD! I am amazed at the level to which liberals talk about science while rejecting the very foundations of science. (Carbon is not bad. The payroll tax doesn't influence empl…

Why do so many people talk about "negative externalities" when they don't even understand basic economics? Its like some liberal ideological center picked up a phrase, told people …

The ironic thing is, the entity that causes the most pollution (in every country) is that countries government... and the entity causing the most energy waste is generally the gove…

Yeah, cause bureaucracies are so caring. I notice that I've been modded down... I guess anyone not goosestepping along will not be tolerated.

Interesting, my comments about Rails, ERlyweb and WebObjects were deleted, and my title was re-written.

Typical, government will stick a gun in people's face just to make them be "politically correct". Nevermind the consequences (or the chicks who will no longer hatch because the hea…

I loved rails until I tried to implement something non-trivial in it and realized it was just absolute crap. I suspect it is this way because it came out of the minds of designers …

Steve's a nice guy and I enjoy reading his rants, but there's one thing he's wrong about: Amazon. A horrible, horrible company, where bright engineers are managed by horrible horri…

They are providing value- they risked their own capital to speculate on a domain name that might be valuable in the future... just like anyone who buys swampland hoping to drain it…

These are not "cybersquatters". Octo and Part are generic terms. One of the domains I own is a combination of a word that means "software" and another word that means "place you li…

this is called enterprising. They aren't pretending to be you, they are just buying generic domain names that might be useful to someone in the future. You can either buy them from…

Just let it clean up when you log out....

Actually, all versions of filevault have done this.

This is no the case with filevault, when it is set up with a login account. I have lost encrypted disk images under OS X due to drive problems... but have had a filevault make it t…

Charging tells you a very important thing: if you're adding value. Probably this would prune a lot of fruitless branches from your development tree. There is a much larger universe…

Opera is not one of the three main browsers. The three main browsers are, in order, IE, Firefox and Safari. Personally, I don't use Opera or one of the three main browsers most of …

This is actually a very wise strategy...after all its the early adopters who generate buzz and better guide product development.

The main reason to build outside of silicon valley-- less people poaching your employees, yes, but more importantly: You don't have the bad advice constantly being forced on you. i…

The number one sign you're a crappy programmer: 1. You foist idiocy upon others and refuse to listen when they point it out as such, because someone told you that the idiocy was "e…
