War is peace, freedom is slavery. I'm really tired of attention-grabbing headlines on blog posts with no content.

Stop whining already. Whatever burdens these new taxes impose they are imposed on both you and your competition. Moreover, don't forget that in CA the sales tax is actually droppin…

God no. If nothing is forbidden them on the internet, they won't feel they have to hide anything from you. If you don't want your kids to spend a lot of time on the internet, its y…

You are going about it the wrong way. Ask anybody whose made it, they all say the same thing: do what you love doing, because you'll only be good at doing what you love to do. And …

What really has to sink in is that there are at least 11 million people in this guy's situation. I can't think of a single example in history of 11 million people being forcibly re…

Has anybody done any benchmarking lately to see if these hacks really save time? Seems like most of them rely on the assumption that the cpu has a barrel shifter and can do somethi…

Evernote? This seems like a blow to them as well....

"Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because they're so frightfully clever. I'm really awfuly glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard. And then we are…

Get medical help asap. This isn't something to fool around with or do do on your own. Its as dangerous as having cancer.

Suck it up. Grow up and stop complaining. 8 years and $60,000 is enough investment in "experimentation" and "finding yourself". You don't like your work? That's why its called "wor…
