But I bet that most of those 750,000 believed that Iraq had WMD's of some sort, perhaps very limited in capability.

But they also believed that a war was an inappropriate response to the existence of those WMD's.
Are you a startup? check out Skylight Dashboard on steroids
Recently we have seen a huge number of small businesses and freelancers switching over to Skylight. Thanks to a robust product and feature set Skylight has truly become the central desktop app for thousands of companies. From day to day collaboration, getting those tasks and projects done on time, Skylight is becoming what we call “Sticky” in the app world.
Using a picture of a plane for the delivery icon is somewhat confusing. It implies an impersonal corporation far away with a one size fits all mentality to the whole country. What is preferable is (mostly) locally sourced ingredients and a realization that (for example) Californians have different tastes than Alabamans.

You'll want to provide some sort of "difficulty" level with the recipes. Not everyone is good or confident at cooking. Following on to what makmanalp said, that could be another factor in addition to vegetarian, number of diners etc. Being able to pick 3 meals for the week would help greatly.

I'd recommend you publish your recipes even to those without accounts etc so others can try them, even though they'd have to get the ingredients themselves.

You'll find that not everyone has the best cookware and tools. You may find a good source of ancillary revenue and/or "frequent flyer" benefits to be supplying nice tools (eg knives, spatulas, scissors) and pots/pans.

1) Windows 8 on PC works (and will work) with Secure Boot off.
2) ARM is not a subject of this discussion.
It's not exactly what you want, but it may help you. Google Docs provides File > "historical revisions".
Yes this is very clever
What are your goals? A high level "renaissance man" is a good start, but how about breaking these down into tangible 'deliverables'. E.g. what languages do you specifically want to learn? Do you want to spend time in a country applying those language skills in a natural context...

The reason I suggest this is without clear goals and a practical application for those goals, you may not get the outcome you desire.
Jeff Atwood made a similar argument back on 2004: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2004/09/do-you-want-to-save...

I think autosave has a significant impact on versioning, and while it certainly has some pros, it's not by any means an absolute improvement.
I can't think of anything legal that would net you 7% a week in a remotely safe manner. He has been going for a while now and only recently reduced his interest rates, so it may go on until there aren't enough new people signing up anymore.

I got in before the spike last summer and sold on the way down, netting some free hardware and USD, so I put what was left from that in. Worst case, I lose money that I earned through luck. Best case, new computer hardware!
There seems to be a lot of confusion in the comments about what Dell is doing with this Laptop. Here are some observations that I've made:

* The image is custom, but it is maintained by Canonical, and one can download Ubuntu independently and then enable a bunch of Dell PPAs for hardware support (see http://hwe.ubuntu.com/uds-q/dellxps/).

* Dell is contributing to OSS with this project. They have, with Canonical and the manifacturer, already built open source touch-pad drivers that seem to be working very well (a rarity on Linux).

* Selling an OS-free website is actually doing the Linux community a disservice. The reason is that it takes time and fidgeting in order to make everything work on Linux (and you can, in fact, screw up your computer if you don't set up fans correctly, for example), and the average developer (and, of course, any other user) doesn't want to waste time making suspend function when they can be working. For this reason, desktop Linux will not gain any significant market share if it is not pre-installed. This project will raise the Linux desktop market share, and thus encourage others to do something similar.

* This project started as a pilot in order for Dell to gauge interest, and they deemed it having enough potential to actually launch. The buzz from Dell (really, the "Project Sputnik" blog) is that if it is successful, there might be a follow-up.

With all that said, I will still not be buying this computer. The high-end version that they're selling is too expensive because of a large SSD (still too expensive), while only having 4GB of RAM. In the age of streaming and Dropboxes, I'd rather keep $200 and have 128GB SSD with 8GB RAM. Plus the screen is mediocre (although the keyboard feels amazing, I tried it at Best Buy).

Edit: Added newlines.
A very mobile unfriendly site. Zoom is disabled for the iPhone. This renders landscape mode useless for this site.
The default screen on Nexus 7 is not mistakable. TouchWiz or Sense are not mistakable. This box shows a tablet configured to look like iOS, which isn't what I or most Android owners do with our Android tablets.
yeah what about something like the raspberry pi that doesnt even have built in storage?

I read most "the terrorists have won" arguments as in-kind rebuttals of the silly "because they hate our freedom" rhetoric used to defend the War on Terror. In other words, I see those arguments like this: if terrorists really are exactly as we're told, and they just hate us and want to hurt us, then they've accomplished that goal.

Why not have auto-save and, almost git-like, have a way to add tags or branches to points in time where you did something significant to a document?
Had a very similar idea which would use a single gist as a repository for all posts and do it clientside. Never fleshed it out though.

My thinking was to have a different gist per month which could be added too..

Unfortunately, not too friendly for non-js browsers which is kind of the weak point.

Haha. You, my friend, are absolutely correct on all counts. My logic on those statements was indeed flawed.
I have a Dell Vostro v131 that came preinstalled with Ubuntu 11.10. It's not the fastest computer around, but it's decently fast (I develop for Django, App Engine and Plone), reasonably expandable and seemingly well built. Plus, it's cheap enough you can buy one and a Macbook Air for the price of a high-end ugly Windows notebook.

Everything on the V131 works flawlessly.
I supported App.net with $50/year, here's why
Right, because the iPhone was invented and built from the ground up between january and june 2007.
Not that I am even close to an expert, but I didn't kno that cap and discount were mutually exclusive. Does that mean if the valuation hits the cap, the discount does not apply? Can anybody confirm this?

What a load of waffle. No evidence, just anecdote, "here's what I reckon", with a vague explanations and tortured metaphors.
"it's the ratio of HDL to LDL that matters."

Actually, from what I've read, the most important ratio is HDL to triglyceride levels.
These are from really good suggestions. You brought up some points that we didn't consider. In the future, we planned to post recipes along with blog posts and tips.

The difficulty level is also a great idea. I think giving them a choice of meals/difficulties is good, we also want to add the option like "surprise me" for people to discover new things. What do you think about that?
USPTO demands thousands of dollars for a reexamination request for each of the thousands (tens of thousands?) of blatantly worthless patents they've issued in neglect of their mission. They don't even refund you for winning and thus having done their job for them competently.
I see where you're coming from.

However, I simply disagree with you. Which doesn't per se mean I'm ignorant, trolling, or refusing to back down from a mistake.

To me, 'Having children' means you birth them and raise them. By shooting your sperm during unprotected sex you didn't just 'make babies' or 'have children'. I personally believe life does not start at conception, and as long as they look like tadpoles, I won't acknowledge them as something human. Heck, I even have my doubts about newborns. I find babies annoying and ugly as sin, and I doubt they have much of a psyche to speak of.

(Granted, the last statement may not be a healthy perspective; I blame eXistenZ — http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120907/ )
The McGurk Effect - what you see changes what you hear
"... how successful you will be in life comes down to the people you spend time with. ..."

Haha, thanks. :-)
There are a number of desktop wireframing applications - Omnigraffle, Axure, Visio come to mind.
One could scan the .class file for string literals with relative ease. Obfuscation would be an improvement, but still not completely secure.
Clearly top-notch design and functionality, very impressive. I'm believe you deserve $29 a month for all your hard work, but I could never justify this expense. Again, the product probably is worth it, but out of price range for some smaller companies. I'm not looking to start a flame war about being cheap or not paying for quality work, I just want to give you a little feedback about pricing. Do you have any other pricing schemes in mind - one-off or limited functionality type deals.
I don't think he said or meant that you should try to have friends who are "better" than you but rather those that will help you get to the next level you want to get to.

In other words, people who are supportive and have abilities and interests that complement your own.

I certainly know people who are toxically negative, gripe about everything and complain about perceived injustices, and when I spend time with them I become less motivated. And the converse is true, thinking of one person in particular who I would not consider a friend (in that we don't hang out socially) but who is so positive and energetic about everything that it's hard not to ride that wave when you spend time with him.
Modern Enterprise Java Architectures with Spring 3.1 [Webinar]
In its 3.1 generation, the Spring Framework presents itself as a versatile open source platform for Java-based application architectures on any kind of deployment platform.

This presentation covers the key feature set in Spring 3.1, from environment profiles and Java-based application configuration to declarative caching and Servlet 3.0 support. Spring 3.1′s capabilities will be discussed in the context of current trends such as cloud computing and HTML 5, influencing the way enterprise Java applications will be built in 2012 and beyond.
Well, at least the FUD is an attempt to get people to switch from Linux to Linux, rather than Linux to Windows. Remember the "Get The Facts" campaign?
10 Weird Things About Japan

One of my best friends is an elderly woman who lives alone and cannot walk. She slurs her speech because of a bad head injury a few years back. She has a terrible short term memory.

She is pretty cool.

I visit her about three times a week and we will talk for hours. I wonder why we get along so darn well - I'm a 40 year old single guy with practically zero in common with her - but I always leave her house feeling happy. She will wave goodbye to me from the screen door until I am out of view.

I like watching out for her wellbeing and brightening her day, yet I still feel I'm the one who is benefiting.
I hope the ads are hilariously insincere.

"some patent office has just made money off selling something it doesn't own"... really? This is a compelling argument to you?
How does Woz discredit the idea? He said that he works best alone, not that no one else was involved in making him successful. Do you really think Woz would have been as successful if he had never met Steve Jobs?
The RSA patents had a chilling effect on commercial deployment of any public key crypto... not that that's the worst thing in the world given its track record.
By that definition (the possibility of annihilation) I only count two - the Cold War and the American Civil War. I don't like the definition, though - the US certainly was at war in WWII.

Somewhat unrelated, but I'd really like to see the War Powers Resolution get to the Supreme Court. It would be nice to either have it acted upon or thrown out instead of having it just sit there being ignored.

Do you really believe "most of Bitcoin's early adopters" see it as a hedge against monetary crises? I know some fairly successful Bitcoin speculators, and none of them see it as anything other than a way to make a quick buck.

You pay fees for currency conversion at your local bank to. It is just hidden in the spread between their rates and the market rates.
Nothing. I would not say a thing, because I would not understand. The reason most adults don't give out advice to younger people is that they lack the experience, scars, and wisdom to understand it. Plus, the person I am today is the result of the person I was back then.

Thanks. I had been reading political crud about PE firms and re-skimmed the Kauffman thing looking for confirmation.
I think Google has, indeed, been investing in applied research and sprinkling the results freely around. Off the top of my head, without thinking, there is Go (the language), and the fact that they employ Guido van Rossum.

Really bad examples. Neither of those is research, basic or applied.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I think multi-touch is worth a patent. I'm not sure if Apple is the one that deserves to hold it (I'm not sure what the prior art is on it), but it is THE THING that made the current crop of tablets and smart phones possible. To me, it seems non-obvious because if it was so obvious, why did we have to endure a decade of shitty unresponsive stylus interfaces?
I'm not saying doing it on a phone is what makes it novel.

The minimal and smaller but proportional bar that moves and then fades out does seem novel to me in total regardless of prior bars that were minimal (windows has had a setting that allowed 1 pixel bars since xp or vista at least), smaller (my understanding is that smalltalk's original bar was not full length), gave a sense of proportion (pretty sure BeOS had a setting for this) or disappeared (I'm sure there's something).

Analogously there could already be robots that ride horses, robots that chew bubble gum and robots that do the macarena but we can still patent a new robot that did all three of those at the same time.
"Radiation must be harmless"? What?
Making the transition from selling books to selling other goods seems is generally more simple than the transition from comparing one type of product versus to comparing anything. As the article mentions, these tools have existed for awhile and the quality has always degraded the more universal they become. Obviously I didn't expect too many avenues of comparisons but I also didn't expect just one...
You didn't build that wood deck, Craftsman tools and dead trees did. Silicon Valley should be horrified at what this man said.
$50? With all the cake he's making? Maybe there really is a depression out there.
Of course a tree would be best. I just wonder whether can be presented in a way that is still intuitive for common users. I'm thinking one could emulate a linear history on top of the tree and just present the tree when desired by the user. Also, it would become very important to figure out what exactly is the most usable level of committing (words? phrases? text blocks?). I'm thinking about a system where a linear edit to one element of the underlying data structure (such as an xml element) is one commit, even if it's a whole story.

OK let your mind boggle. Mine's fine. Some guys stand 10,000 or 18,500 feet away (depending on whether taken from text or video) from a nuke explosion then drive off. How much ionizing radiation were they exposed to? Probably very little. I'm not sure. Over the years in their job.. who knows. From my understanding, it's the fallout and contaminated food that is dangerous. As to vaccinations, I think it's an apt analogy. You get 1 jab and never get an illness. It must have been the jab, right?
I swear by FlairBuilder. We've built complex sites using this for prototyping and the learning curve isn't high at all.
Microsoft is a convicted monopolist.
I wouldn't put any weight on an analysis by Megan McArdle either. I like Warren as a politician, am deeply ambivalent about her as a policymaker or regulator, have no idea about her credibility as an academic, and read McArdle long enough to know that her issue here is ideological, and that she's not particularly credible on issues that touch that ideology.

Preempting the obvious challenge to this comment: it's not that I'm going to point to any particular point in this particular blog post of hers and call BS on it (although I think it covertly lapses into subjectivity several times), but rather that her particular choices of papers and theses to take issue with aren't necessarily a fair representation of Warren, "scholar". Which is what her headline purports the post to be.

There was no way McArdle was going to be objective about Warren. That's a little bit like expecting Paul Krugman (not that I'm putting them on the same level!) to be objective about Paul Ryan.
That's not the argument, that's a bullet point in the whole argument. The argument is that patents are inherently unnatural, arbitrary (where do you draw the line on what's patentable?) and need an artificial force to enforce them.

If all you got out of my post was 'the patent system is a way for the patent office to make money,' then with all due respect, I request you to look through it again.
Non-native, true. But slow? Balsamiq on my PC is nothing but snappy. You should consider sending a support request in case there is a bug in Balsamiq(or Air?) with your OS/pc configuration.
If you can't afford $29/month then you're probably not in their target market. If you used this tool to do UI prototyping as part of a mobile development project you could be charging companies $29,000/month which would justify the 0.1% investment.

Considering how many times the paragraph says "design" I would have expected their 'about' page to be a lot more readable: http://fab.com/about-fab/

There is also the small issue of the about page not telling me any about the company. I tried reading the wsj article but got paywall'd, so I went to the only place on the internet that is supposed to be guaranteed to give me information on the company. Yet said page contains no information on the company. What does this company do, and why are they hiding behind marketing non-speak?
Singularity - A responsive, micro CSS framework
Reversing the design of Chrono Trigger
The language in a typical note (as quoted from here: http://techcrunch.com/2012/04/21/convertible-note-seed-finan...) is:

"..conversion price will be the lower of (i) the price per share determined by applying the discount to the Series A price per share; and (ii) the price per share determined by dividing the cap by the Series A pre-money valuation."

But this doesn't mean "if the valuation hits the cap, the discount does not apply" because even if the valuation is higher than the cap, the discount may still be more beneficial. So there is a gray area. If you change cell C19 to $3,500,000, for example, you'll see that the discount still applies, and not the cap.
Yeah, that really is bad. I got into the beta (I think it was a beta?) that they did, it's basically a fancy shopping site.
He still gets a more than adequate salary for his work.

Wait, are we talking about a real situation?

Looks to me like you declared something about what is "adequate salary" without knowing what that salary is, what the bonus model being speculated upon would be, or what the opportunity cost for that hypothetical CEO would be for taking on such a high-risk position.

Upon what information do you base even having an opinion on what salary is adequate?

Not really. If you really are innocent then no evidence can possibly change that. But if you're merely presumed innocent, then new evidence can prove your guilt.

And in the case of a civil suit there's no double jeopardy, so you can't even say it doesn't matter.
