Just curious: why do a lot people recommend only the white of the egg, and not the whole thing?

Hey man, the value of my Beanie Baby collection can only go up.

The US Dollar can be used to buy anything. Bitcoin can be used on like, a few dozen websites that support it. Why the heck would you not use the dollar?

They lack the sense of urgency brought about by the working world. Also known as making deadline.

The Dunning-Kruger effect explains why an arrogant boss I once had thought he knew how to program.

Good to know I'm not the only one making this website. http://www.makethatthing.com/ (shameless self promotion, I know, but I wish Dave the best of luck with his site)

So, it's kind of like Twitter but with audio messages?

My birthday present!

It strikes me as kind of odd that the billboard says "We", implying that DuckDuckGo is a company of multiple people. Then again, saying "I don't track you" would sound extremely st…

You could easily argue that about a hundred years of engineering have gone into computer science, and many, many more than that into mathematics and algorithms. And this is the stu…

This is great news for the Appcelerator guys, but I've gotten so used to writing Titanium apps in TextMate, that I'm not sure I'd really need a dedicated IDE! Still happy for the c…

Same situation for me, which is why I much prefer to use Twitter these days. It's considered downright rude to defriend someone on Facebook, but on Twitter, you really only have to…

You're pointing fingers in the wrong direction. You can hate PayPal all you want, but the government is taking every action imaginable to deny a press outlet it's constitutional ri…

gReader is a really solid 3rd party RSS reader, that I've grown completely accustomed to. I'm not sure I really need / want to switch to the official one now.

Heh. Makes me wonder if Kik enticed some BBM engineers to switch jobs.

Looks like it's pretty new. They're still calling it a "beta". Maybe the mobile apps are coming next?

Who would host the servers though? A standards organization? I doubt they could afford it. That, or it will be like email, where everyone has @example.com appended to their usernam…

I have been waiting my entire life for this to come out.* (*Give or take a few dozen years)
