    The real benefit of artificial non-descript meat sausage will be ending overfishing? I'm assuming you mean when they come out with artificial fish meat, but I can't find any mentio…

    It most certainly is. Vegetarian bacon, while good, does not taste like bacon. And bacon with all the fat removed does not taste like bacon. It may be good, but it's not bacon.

    If they hadn't made this judgment, would there be anything stopping you or I from legally attaching GPS devices to government official's cars and recording their movements? They sh…

    I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but if not, why then would they regard their formula as such a secret that the only two people allowed to know it may not fly together in ca…

    Sure, I guess if you fundamentally misunderstand MVC but not in the real world. You don't have render your view on the server, using a js framework is perfectly fine in MVC. There …

    Cheesy opinion piece by a dude who doesn't seem to have even read the legislation. Plus, why is it written in the 3rd person?

    it's pointless to blame anyone else but ourselves, the web development community I disagree. To me this is a complete failure of the W3C do do 3 things: - Come up with a solid plan…

    I think the doom and gloom is a bit over-hyped, and the other browser authors probably have no choice but to implement the webkit prefixes. They just don't have the install numbers…

    Yay, loosening regulations on wall street. Lets let startups without enough financial knowledge and market power to create a real IPO jump into being publicly traded. I see this go…

    The only real lesson in Moneyball is do what you love and don't let others tell you not to. What I find most interesting about the story is the different effect it has on people. B…

    Mmm, I think this really highlights the issue that facebook is not a public space. It's private. You can campaign all you want but this isn't womens lib. This is a private business…

    For me, a huge justification for piracy: archives. Not just you, but also the US supreme court. If you already own a copy of that movie on any format it's legal to have 1 digital b…
