I mean, LVP is very popular today and is really not much different from Linoleum.

For most modern software, you are not buying a product, you are buying a window of service. You are entering into an agreement that the software will be supported for a reasonable …

I will never pass up an opportunity to use this joke: Everything is a hammer, unless it's a screwdriver. Then, it's a chisel.

I had a co-worker at the Navy Yard that said he was an Anti-Aircraft tech during the Korean War. When he said they used 'mechanical computers' I had to stair up into space for a mi…

His IG is a pretty interesting follow (@atlantamagnetman) as he has briefly explained the various iterations and improvements to his magnet cart.

Agreed. The Titanium G4 to the Unibody pretty much laid the foundation of what the next 20 years of good laptops would be.

I was in Taco Bell the other day and noticed, a dollar menu burrito has 400+ calories. Sure enough it made this list.

You are sort of getting into "we would be better off without the internet" territory, which is a very difficult argument to make for either side. Tesla and Space X engineers would …

I know my post was very cynical. I agree open and free markets are very valuable and need to be protected. But in this case, anti-NN policies are so hugely unpopular, I can't see h…

The US at least, has been in an economic boom since the Subprime Mortgage Crisis in 2010, which was partly caused by deregulation of banks and lenders. Can you provide some example…

Republicans aren't pushing deregulation of the internet to make swing states happy. They are pushing for deregulation because that's what several billionaire campaign contributors …

I once had a business trip (TDY) to Aviano Air Base, Italy. The office building we were in had an Espresso vending machine that for 0.5 Euro made a legit Espresso or Americana. We …

Also, all the operational overhead in that US dentist office will cost more than the Indian side. The secretary, the assistant, the building lease, etc. (I'm not saying that we can…

Yeah, but like in the case of online multiplayer, I believe they had every intention of making that a release day feature, but it just wasn't ready. I just think calling the guy a …

In the lead up, when they were touting 6.84 * 10^23 planets or whatever, my thought was, how is that fun? If it will take all of humanity 10,000 years to see your entire game, what…

I don't envy software developers under immense pressure to deliver a AAA title on time. Having to predict whether or not you can get that feature working flawlessly in 30 days isn'…

I remember a demonstration from my childhood where water is released into 2 similar models. One model is dry, one model is wet. The water quickly overtakes the dry model and splash…

Actually the Intercept should have known. Margaret Thatcher used water marking to find which Ministry was leaking stories in the 80s. It's standard practice to retype documents bef…

Seems like -400 ft was the number they picked to account for all the airports that are slightly below Sea Level (Amsterdam, etc), not taking into account this one geographical anom…

If I remember correctly, the hospital did not bill for him, he billed us separately, but the Hospital condoned this. I'm sure we agreed to it somewhere in the fine print. I'm not t…

It wasn't just his doctor it is the whole system which is somewhat unavoidable. We are lucky to have good health insurance, and a simple ER visit to get stitches or an X-Ray will i…

There's only so much of the hardware rat race worth keeping up with anymore My personal data point of Moore's Law slowing down: my 8 year old Core 2 Quad is still half as fast as a…

The size of the glass panels struck me as amazing. Then I read, "clad entirely in the world’s largest panels of curved glass." 0.0

This app is just a fine publicity gimmick on the part of the developers. This happens a lot! Will get loads of news stories, Facebook shares and likes but make not a joy of differe…

This is my thought as well. Don't think of Nintendo as a technology company, think of them as an Intellectual Property company. With Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Pokemon, Metroid, et…
