From that overview: "This newer strategy...with fewer releases but more features and changes manifesting in each one...has held through to subsequent Firefox releases to date." History sure changes fast.
"So long as it is private (probably not for long), our healthcare system will be "the best" -- in terms of quality, but not necessarily cost" And again a overly broad claim that you don't back up with facts. Instead of…
Left middle on T, on a querty-based keyboard? And you've never broken anything? :-) [1] has what seems to be the classic way, with t and even r being typed my the index finger. [1] http://www.powertyping.com/qwerty.html
I propose a new law: An observation of the form "Maybe <counter-argument>, but <observation>" can probably be adequately dismissed with <counter-argument>.
From personal (European) experience, I can also recommend it. If moderately used, it's dirt cheap compared to owning a car. I spend about as much on it as just renting a garage would cost me in Brussels. I was not a…
Actually, here in Belgium my carsharing service (Cambio) tries very hard to aim at businesses too, although more for traffic between work and home/station than business trips. Since most private use is in the evening or…
"Modern gadgets are meant to be disposable machines, not eternal repositories of all your stuff. " I think that would be a better subject to get worked up about than the feeling you're getting conned because the profit…
I appreciate that you can't go far into technical details in an HN comment, but after a statement like that, you could at least give a pointer to those "good reasons". They might not be as obvious to everyone as you…
I think you're being unnecessarily harsh. Sure, that quote is not the best or most subtle summary of his own point, but in my opinion the basic insight and the clear, memorable illustration still make this a worthwhile…
With no experience at all, I'd like to add a marketing lesson: if you write a blog post concerning your project, make sure it features an easy link to that project.
I like the idea, but have some remarks/questions: 1. I don't understand some of the rules at all, possibly because I haven't read "Style: Toward Clarity and Grace". In particular, the that/which rules seem to detect any…
I'm sorry to be negative, but I really can't see the use of linking to a Google Translate version of a very general German article about someone that anyone here already knows plenty about. Well, except for a bit of a…
Which, to be fair, is her second bullet point.
I use Cambio for car sharing here in Belgium, and it works great for me. The price for one trip may sometimes feel steep, but overall it works out a lot cheaper for us than owning a car. Even when I had a company car, I…
I think the article sufficiently demonstrates the relevance, interpreting this as a rare glimpse of the habitual censorship used to misinform the people of NK.
23% of all US car accidents are caused by cell phone use. [1] That's 1.3 million crashes per year. I'd call that a big problem. [1] http://www.nsc.org/Pages/NSCestimates16millioncrashescausedb...
Actually, studies really show there's no difference between hands-free and hand-held. See e.g. http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/DrivingIssues/2006083010503... I assume the obvious physical limitation makes at least some…
That's actually too rosy a picture of the situation in Europe. While indeed many people have no objective need to own a car, most families do own at least one. We might not have quite the ridiculous amount of cars as…
In that case, maybe ghostery.com is more suitable for you.
Also, those numbers actually suggest that by far the most active language group (relatively speaking) on twitter are the Dutch speakers, who are almost all Europeans. Actually, I thought the number and growth for Dutch…
Usability and design considerations aside, I find it more worrying that this year's campaign seems to be entirely centered around him and that in general Wales is acting more as the face of Wikipedia than he used to.…
In Belgium it is indeed illegal to send unsolicited mails, IF it is sent for publicity reasons. The law includes a definition of publicity, the gist of which is "promoting goods, services or a company". It's the…
Sure, new generations interact with media differently. But isn't this article reading way too much into a 4 year old liking to touch things and not having patience? I'm sure I also threw a tantrum every time commercials…
