Not trying to be a troll but the thing that jumped out at me was the P/E listed for P&G and my mind immediately compared it to the FB P/E at the IPO.

Both H (Bill Hewlett) and P (Dave Packard) were at Stanford prior to WW2. And Silicon Valley pre-dates the Internet era. See Fairchild Semiconductor, The Treacherous Eight, etc.

I think it is because we (as a community) should be past the piling-on stage and on to the constructive discussion stage. Snark doesn't add to the discussion.

Even if Cisco was running open source code they could still put ALL of this language into this agreement. The difference would be you could see the actual mechanism in work if they…

Just to clarify, it is only 25% of this particular book. Sounded to me like the delivery charge was fairly independent of the cost of the book.

If I have 1000Mbits to send then gigE is 10 times faster. But in the article we are transferring only 2k across the network. Mixing latency and bandwidth here. The latency to send …

This may be ignorant and please correct if I am off base but given the same physical medium isn't sending 2k across the network the same cost whether you are at fastE or gigE? Give…

I don't know why he uses the term "private certificate file." It is a private key.

Things like "reports so easy even your boss can understand them" don't go over real well with my boss.

Isn't this a drop in the (tax write-off) bucket for them?

Then somebody will come out with a free app that does the something or better than the paid app. Lather, rinse, repeat. Blah.

I know the Internet has seriously damaged the music label's revenue stream but why hasn't it done even more damage? It is 2011,the labels should not still have this much power, sho…

Ok. Awesome article. Even more awesome that I didn't have to click "next page" 12 times.

I have used FreeBSD since 2.2. I used to laugh at the slashdot trolls saying BSD is dying but I really think it is dying. The commercial support is just not there.

This doesn't seem so shady when you realize that there are also these things called "liabilities" that you need to account for. It should be fine to count the whole cost as revenue…

To your second point - it is entirely possible that people are traveling abroad to get medical care that was developed here but not yet approved for the general public. That doesn'…

Folks, these are the shoulders we are all standing on. Let's try not to mess it up too badly.

Apple DID NOT invent gui. When Jobs visited PARC he saw three revolutionary ideas: GUI Networked personal computers Object Oriented Programming Source: http://www.amazon.com/Fumbli…

I am going to make one more request for a single page version. Or for instapaper to pull down the whole thing in a more intelligent manner.
