Cool story, bro.

Why do sociologists break their own rules when it suits their ends? "More ethical" doesn't have a meaning in a world where morality isn't purely objective. Either this article was …

Cool…that's not what the link sent me to. It was a 3-page I9 from–iirc–1991 that said nothing about paperwork reduction.

Yeah, me too. The reply to your question wasn't helpful as the link is to the I-9, none of which appears to have anything to do with paperwork reduction. The link off HN also menti…

Yours is the first intelligent commentary I've read. Thank you.

You would be importing a LOT of stuff necessary to keep your city going.

Every time I read a facebook story here or elsewhere, I get the overwhelming desire to delete my account. The only problem is that there may be people I want to interact with that …

The one thing I've learned from one of the most prestigious technical universities in the world is that results are more important than integrity.

I disagree wholeheartedly with his analysis. Yes, Apple is more closed. But…you can do a lot with OS X, other than the window manager and desktop system. I rooted my iPhone. Just l…

Plus…keep calm and carry on. The British are going to be slow to adopt net neutrality because they may as well just let the market sort it out until the market f *s up too badly, t…

I live in atlanta…pretty accurate. Except for the comment about the weather. Yeah we have all 4 seasons…but we also have all 4 seasons once a week during the so-called "fall" and "…

That would be a big deal if they supported virtualization on other hardware. Is it possible that it's a first step towards a more open (in regards to hardware requirements) OS X in…

+1 for Apples. I have run virtual machines in the past when necessary, but I find that I don't do it anymore as there isn't any software I have to use right now that doesn't run na…

Well, if you're willing to accept that a wing–as described–produces lift in it's 'natural' upward direction (see other replies for some links as this step is a bit complicated), th…

The author is a moron. This movie is amazing, but it's also insanely straightforward. It doesn't require that kind of analysis; almost nothing does. I'm growing increasingly dishea…

Maybe that'll happen to me eventually. It wasn't a 28-hour cycle, certainly, but I've been on the overdrive until crash sleep schedule basically since I was born. I don't see any e…

admitted.

Obviously, you never went to college.

I've used this sleep schedule before. It's extremely liberating, if only a little lonely at the beginning of each week. It's not hard to switch back and forth as long as you use on…

She's just mad because women suck at computers.

Move away from china. There's nothing for us there.

Actually, alzheimer's can't be diagnosed premortem. It's only diagnosed by characteristic neural striations during a necropsy. Before death, the only conclusion that one can draw (…
