I don't find any functionality to do this. The market worship is just not for me. I'll probably still visit for the articles, but commenting here just depresses me too much so I do…

Over the past few months, I’ve gone from some optimism that we’ll be able to solve the environmental and climatic problems the world faces to complete pessimism. Even if everyone o…

The problem is, I do believe it's training. There are large vested interest with absolute gobs of money who don't want folks to believe that resources are not infinite. Because if …

Most chip fabrication processes require hafnium, gallium arsenide and helium. Helium will run out in my lifetime. Look it up yourself. Hafnium is likely to as well. I'm amazed by t…

Unix abandoned (or never had) any conception of WYSIWYG, and probably never will. I hate it, too.

All IE6 users should be blocked until they upgrade from any and every site. Zero tolerance of terrible browsers.

"Don't you think they have spent a lot of time thinking this through, consulting with experts, and debating internally whether its been a good decsion?" Having worked at a few larg…

Whoa, the fonts on that blog make my head asplode.

Nominally, it protects both. But because some corporations have vastly more money and resources than the people they wish to bully (individuals, in this case), the outcomes are dis…

If Apple gets any more evil, they will become kind of parody found in a Mike Myers movie. Makes me regret buying my Cinema Display from them
