    I know a del.icio.us employee (one of the first 10) who got completely ripped off on his equity.

    You have no idea how spam works. A bot isn't just one user trying to enter "cat" repeatedly. Botnets send requests from thousands of different IPs. You wouldn't know which ones are…

    My spam script would always answer "cat", so among 8 options (cat, dog, house, drum, road, tree, book, horse), I'd get a 12.5% success rate. Plus you constantly have to update your…

    Nobody is being taxed on the cash one has in his bank account. You're taxed on the income your cash generates. So cut the crap.

    So you think it's great that rich get taxed at 15% and the poor/middle class at roughly 30-40%? I'm pretty sure among you and Krugman, you're a hack.

    Still doesn't make sense. If you display 10 random animals (or shapes), and ask a user to pick the right one, a dumb spam script would have a 10% success rate. If you display one i…

    You have no idea what you're talking about. > show a picture of an animal or a shape and ask what it is, Ok, so let's say you come up with pictures of 20 different animals. A spam …

    C300 is definitely NOT the fastest SSD drive. There are a few that are much much faster. 1) FusionIO ioXtreme = 670/280 MB/s 2) FusionIO ioDrive = 770/750 MB/s, 140,000 IOPS 3) Fus…

    This is stupid. Of course video percentage will grow. Every time you double the resolution, you quadruple the amount of data you have to transfer.

    It was sold for $12.5 billion (in stock) to Terra Networks (Telefonica) in May 2000 (Telefonica stock is worth more now than it used to in 2000) So it looks like Lycos investors ma…

    That's horrible. Instead of drawing graphs on the client side, you're pushing insanely large number of images to the browser. It makes sense for google maps, not for graphs. Plus y…

    Does it work at 1000 MPH? Plus they are talking about voice data, not just the coordinates.
