It sounds like you're implying that paying for Netflix and using bittorrent is mutually exclusive. If the content on Netflix were better (it has everything you would ever want to w…

Of course, the ideal way of sucking out the oxygen from these entities is to legalize the product they're pushing. Perpetuating the drug war is some "real evil shit" when you consi…

The irony in your last point, is that an electric vehicle is objectively far simpler than an internal combustion powered one.

That's not a loaded comment.. Changing your programming environment over an SSL certificate? Tell us all about how awesome it is building apps in Java!

Until there's one that doesn't suck, there should be more competition keeping the exchanges innovating and improving their services to be more competitive.

I agree with your point that paid products should be commercial free, though what about the insidious placement of commercial products embedded within the content (song lyrics or a…

What we need is a new way to communicate where spam is inherently not possible.

Litecoin itself is a clone of the first scrypt based coin, Tenebrix.

While I don't agree with CISPA, but what about the Consumer Protection Agency?

You are a venture capitalist, yes? ;^)

I've been looking at chore monster and chore wars for much the same purpose. I've tried using dry issue tracking systems, and for as creative as these "gamified" options are, I sti…

Couldn't you create a repo in bitbucket and push to it as a new remote head to keep your revision history?

There are a surprising number of folks in the metro who do bicycle on even the most brutal winter days. Typically armament includes studded tires and with a "cabin" it would greatl…

This is unfortunately a federal restriction on electrically assisted bicycles. The motor cuts off at 20 mph, the driver can peddle faster than this but the electric assist is only …
