Where, exactly, do you draw the line? Do you want tolerance or support?

Gay: Suppose the "gay germ theory"[1] is correct. To allow vaccination/prophylaxis or not?

Labor: Freedom to legally organise is to me utterly unobjectionable, but I remember picking up a book on trade unionism in the library once and being completely unable to grasp the sense behind one of the articles in which the authors took it as given that striking should not even in theory be grounds for firing. Striking is part of a negotiation, it's a tool in the dance of "How shall we divide the money that is earned as a result of my employment between empolyer and employee?"

Where is the "right" place between freedom to organise + at-will employment, and a system like France, where unions "represent" workers in their economic sector who aren't members and get legally binding regulations, or like Germany's, where union representatives are always on the board, with voting positions?

Women's: Women make less than men on average. They also make very different choices of what jobs to work in, how many hours to work, and they are much more likely to have interruptions in their career. Given the second, is the first unjust, especially if the difference when you compare like with like is small?

Why? What magical quality does a straight couple bring to the table? Are they innately less dysfunctional than a gay couple?

A surprisingly easy way to get a phone back is to text-message that phone and say, "If you find this phone, please call this Number: XXXXXXX Thanks!". It's worked for me twice, I don't know how many people do this simple step after loosing a phone.
You could always move to Mexico. I hear there's a thriving competitive market in those activities there. Why, just last Saturday seven government monopolists were killed in a great victory for free enterprise - without any bureaucratic red tape like warrants or detailed paperwork, either.

Apple’s goal isn’t to make money. Our goal is to design and develop and bring to market good products…We trust as a consequence of that, people will like them, and as another consequence we’ll make some money. But we’re really clear about what our goals are. - Jonathan Ive, VP of Industrial Design at Apple
Do you know any gay men? This is beyond offensive to me.

I'm a hacker, a Christian, and a gay man. I've been a babysitter and a church camp counselor (of children from fourth through twelfth grade).

Before you talk about the "problem gay men seem to have with sexual abuse," we should talk. A man's value is not defined by his sexual orientation.
Right. Prohibition created the Mafia - before Prohibition they were a bunch of petty Italian thugs, but America's real desire for alcohol made them rich and powerful. Prohibition never works. You'd think a bunch of free marketeers like American conservatives would get that.
The easiest problem to tackle is .RPM vs .DEB debate that should have ended about 3 years ago. If the LSB had said .DEB it might have happened, but since the "official" standard and the actual majority are diametrically opposed it doesn't want to happen. And of course the filesystems don't perfectly match across distros.
First Look at the More Mac-Like Microsoft Office 2011 Beta
There are a bunch of metrics out there. Off the top of my head...

- Division of child care and house routine
- Ability to devote time to children
- Self-reported satisfaction in childrearing relationships
- Parenting awareness skills
- What types of discipline techniques are used (i.e. reasoning vs. spanking)
- Character of relationships with parents, peers, and other adults
- Longitudinal studies of mental health factor (depression, acting out, ...)

Obviously, controls and sample distribution are complicated. You also need to separate the fact that more gay couples are adopting children from one partner's previous marriage which dissolved when they came out to themselves and/or their spouse. That can be stressful--but it can also bring a family together. I've heard stories from all over the map.
Great service. Really impressed with the default app set and speed.
Despite the error by Microsoft, I have no choice but to pay the outstanding invoice.

There's the other choice: continue to not pay it. Your obligation is to Microsoft, not the collections agency. Microsoft mistakenly sold your account to the collections agency; that is Microsoft's problem, not yours.

Consulting a lawyer would also be helpful.

There's reason to believe Yahoo is on its way back up. They've let go of a lot of their underperforming services, grew display advertising by 22% in the past year, and have a very capable executive suite.

"... I was part of an "out" group growing up, I managed not to get bullied much (it usually stopped quickly after a round of fisticuffs and my father being a boxing coach in his youth) ..."

Excellent stuff, go boxing. There's a lot to say for standing up for yourself.

"... But a great many of my friends were bullied, some horribly. I've never been able to understand the mechanics of it very well even after having seen it so many times. ..."

Thanks Schill, can it load MP3 streams as well as MP3 files? Assume so, but just to check. Any suggestion on player?
Go's concurrency support isn't that exciting. It's basically very efficient UNIX processes. Which is fine, but not as good as composable concurrent state changes, which is what STM offers. (The key is composability; that's what you don't get with locks or "just do it in another process".)

Is there anything in particular on the MacBooks themselves that Ubuntu doesn't support yet? The main thing I can think of is that Linux with a one-button mouse can be awkward.
Magical quality? Well, 2 genders instead of one. I don't find the idea that children take their cues depending on the gender of the parent at all unreasonable. It's certainly entered the common mind as an idea of what happens. Is it true? No idea, haven't seen any research on it. But there's at least a possible basis for the "magical" quality of gender being important.

(edit: formatting)
From what I hear, .DEB is a bitch to do anything outside of the norm, whereas .RPM is much easier and less complex of a package format. That said, I much prefer the apt system on Debian, and Ubuntu. What really needs to happen is to take the best of both worlds and merge it into something of a complete system.
Apple serves on the steering committee of REACT, a special task force involved with the investigation.

This explains mostly how if we left a cellphone in a bar, why we could not get the police to even take a report, let alone raid the house of the person who bought it from someone who found it, but Apple can.
That doesn't seem obvious to me. Inventions can change many lives, but the scope of a person's social life is necessarily limited. Why do you say that?

Why Grow? And Other Wisdom from 37Signals
I know you said it "could make sense to prefer straight couples", but beware of implicit associations when thinking that something like this makes sense. We're much more exposed to examples of heterosexual couples raising children than homosexual couples, and, as Harvard's Implicit Association Test demonstrates, this could easily lead us to thing that one "makes more sense" than the other. Increasing positive exposure to the opposite end of things can change our opinion. Harvard's IAT site has more information (check out esp. the Q's about the Black-White test):
https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/demo/background/faqs.h...

Malcolm Gladwell also examines the phenomenon of implicit social adjustment in his book _Blink_ (http://www.amazon.com/Blink-Power-Thinking-Without/dp/031601...).
Not sure they'd be worth the large price difference, but there's some physical differences, like the unibody aluminum shell versus a plastic shell, and the Inspiron being 30% thicker at the thickest point.
Student loans, Financial aid, Higher education, and Wrong Opinions
Posting basically unsubstantiated contrary shit like this and ambiguous snarky replies is typically not a hallmark of someone trying to discover the truth; it's just an excuse be an asshole without real repercussions.

But just to make it crystal clear: you're not being down voted just because people are too polite to confront the truth. You're being down voted because you're not very smart.

Dude, you essentially made up or misinterpreted the numbers you're using[1], then you make what amounts to completely irrational sweeping generalizations based on nothing but two numbers and/or your (limited) social experience.. And, admit it, you know these conclusions are offensive. Not only that, but you can't even stand by your intentionally ambiguous statements about homosexual behavior after you post them -- you're not only an asshole, but completely gutless.

i.e. Shut the fuck up, kid. You have no idea what you're talking about.
See, the thing is, both replies jumped directly on the point I was trying not to make.

I wasn't answering with my belief, nor was I saying that gay parents are worse, but trying to get at where the root of apprehension might lie with liberal-minded folks, such as the case was in the article.

What I was trying to say is that such a belief is fairly prevalent and well short of nutjobbery.
Go do college. Get internships and co-op jobs while in college.

Yeah, eFax is definitely on the pricey side. We only send faxes for the moment. So, if you need to receive, you can stick with them. But, when we have that feature, I'll let you know and make a side by side comparison with eFax.

I appreciate the feedback.
I've always thought about starting an organization which was just about entrepreneurship for kids. I went through all the scouting levels, and I think there's a lot of good things in there, I also think there's a lot of cruft left over from when it was a thinly disguised military preparedness course. Salutes, khaki uniforms, ranks, etc : all a bit much for me back then, and I wouldn't put my own kids in it now. Of course it has probably modernised quite a bit but I suspect a lot of it is still the same.

What I'd like to do is keep the good things about scouts : personal responsibility, teamwork, goal setting and acheiving, respect for adults etc and tie it in with an entrepreneurial focus : team building, idea generation, production, marketing, distribution, legal understanding. The idea would be to work on mini-projects a bit like they do on 'the apprentice', with the goal of generating funding for both the club/group/whatever and of returning funds to charity. There would also be aspects of social and environmental responsibility tied in with the work. The projects would be fun for kids, whether it is commissioning a line of t-shirts, selling flowers or doing an e-bay drive.

My reasoning for this is that I think within the space of a couple of generations, people have gone from usually-self employed to usually-corporate employed, and as such get very little control over their lives. It's the entrepreneurs that grow economies and improve lives, and yet it gets virtually no attention throughout school.

Blippy should adapt into consumables: barcode scanner at home or on the mobile: scan in anything you open. Then a Blippy for food. Then place a barcode or QR code on your forehead, get that scanned in too by Blippy friends when they meet you! I'm sure all this information would be worth something.
Do it! Anki is amazing. Unfortunately, I have yet to manage to convince anyone else to use it... I can see how it can look intimidating.

There's so much I've already forgotten...

I was talking to my co-founder about having a free, advertised tier as well. We don't do random adds. Rather, we do cover page which talks about hellofax. Might be a good way to expand our user base. What do you think?

I think it boils down to what he was talking about at the end: Linux users need to be willing to buy software, and Linux software developers need to be more business savy.

I'm embarassed at what the CSIRO has become. This is not the output of a world class research organization.

'More from less' 'A personal touch'? Spare me this entry in a 'state the obvious in a cliche' competition.

They need to go back to their labs and start doing some real science again. And whoever wrote and authorised this needs to get the boot, pronto.
Remember, there are federal (some called stafford I think?) loans that are interest-free during the entire time you are in school (this includes grad school). You also get a grace period of about half a year after graduation to start paying them back.

I bet you will find plenty of work-study ops in college with your skill set. College is a great time to witness how much so many things are broke and understand people's pain points - if you are observant enough, you will more than survive.

So, go to school, start applying for good internships starting in the fall. Regardless of what you do, go forth and network like it's your birthday party.
Blippy is not for use with your everyday credit card, you're supposed to get a card specifically for Blippy purchases. Then when you buy something you want your friends to know about (like a new video game, tickets, etc.) you use the Blippy card. Blippy will make money from affiliate links for all the stuff people post and from getting people to open new credit cards.
These women did some cool things, but I haven't heard of any of them. After reading a few interviews, I'm left wondering who, exactly, they're influencing. I'm not saying this to be sexist. I married a hacker chick. I just don't know where they come off being the most influential of the year, and didn't see much to back up the headline claim.
I got my Eagle around 2000 when a bunch of local companies were tossing their old computers because of Y2K. I led a group of scouts and students to refurbish them and give them to the local schools. We got about 50 computers placed, ranging from 386s up to a rare few P2-266s. Most of them were internet ready (at least that was the goal) but we're pretty bare other than that. I can't remember for sure, but I think they all went to classrooms that didn't have computers newer than Apple IIs (including my preschool, where I first used a computer).

In retrospect, I learned a lot about managing a project -- more than anything else I could imagine doing at 15, short of starting a company.
I am particularly fascinated by the gleefully accepting rationalizations that some people are offering in support of gizmodo, in support of the theft of physical goods, and the buying of such stolen goods. This is the first physical object I can think of where people seem to be applying the same hand wavy feel-good-ism that people use to justify their own software piracy. This is not just copying bits people.

I would be very frightened if my established business was declining by these figures.

If I were a journalist, I'd be working out ways to make money somewhere else, before I get fired.
If I were a newspaper owner, I'd be trying to sell it as a going concern and take my money.
If I were a shareholder in a paper, I would be selling the lot.
If I were an advertiser, I'd be pushing very hard to get steep discounts on print advertising.

It's amazing how swiftly big business can collapse when the fundamentals are eroded by new technology. Just think 1 hour photo shops, and Kodak's film business.
This man is correct.
PowerPoint is great as a replacement for Malcolm Gladwell / Joel Spolsky style essays. The ones where you tell a funny story, and deliver a few key points, but don't actually explain everything. It is good when you trust the author, and don't have to get up to speed on the details.

Trust is important, because the presenter doesn't have to explain themselves very well. The emotive impact of pictures (or funny stories) can trick you into thinking they have filled the credibility gap. Malicious presenters can leave out details that should really be there - such as how the implementation will actually occur, or the justification of decisions, and so on.

It's also good if you already understand the details, or if you don't know or care about the technicalities. A written report has more space for the technicalities, which is very important if the information has to flow out of the silo you are in, or if the reader wants to drill down and check that you actually know what you are talking about.

I think that the whole "interactions" bit is a little over-hyped. PowerPoint can include interactions, and reports can leave them out.
It's not so funny when you think that everyone depicted in the diagram is heavily armed. McChrystal is right though,

Still undetermined at the federal level. Are the contents of your computer evidence (like papers in a safe) or testimony. Most precedent points to the former, and if the Boucher case actually gets appealed to the circuit level (or even the supremes) then the odds are strongly against it being protected by the 5th.
I really hope that's a subtle reference to this:

We buy our linux-based office software (we do NOT use OpenOffice). There should be more paid-for apps that are of much better quality than what's available.

I believe that Linux (or some distro) should incorporate licensing/DRM into the OS itself - which you have the freedom to turn on or off. More or less, it means an app store, but indie developers will not have to worry about building licensing into their software.
wouldn't it take at least a day for the charge to show up, and thus a day for it to hit blippy? wouldn't most people be talking about their new shiny purchase way before that?

you just bought an ipad, you get it home and play with it, send out twitter messages and facebook posts, and then the next day blippy tells everyone you bought it?
The open question is why anyone would buy software for Linux. The key differentiating factor for _most_ people who use it is that it's free (as in beer). There are two other operating systems that for most people work better than Linux. It's hard to see how you can ask people to pay for software now in the hope that it will eventually be good. I'm sure some people will buy software because it's the Right Thing To Do, but considering the population that selects Linux and their reasons, it's hard to picture a big enough market there to draw really good consumer software developers.

An interesting business question.
