That's not a "dick move," it's calculated. They're betting you will not leave since they have all that traffic and can deliver eyeballs to your ads. At some point it will be too expensive for you. Some new guy will try for a while but long term it's nasty for Google.

These past two years many sites have been destroyed by Panda and Penguin and many have been forced to advertise to replace the lost traffic. Coincidence I'm sure.

Dividends are only one way to value to companies. If Apple fired everyone tomorrow and stopped selling products, their stock would still have value because of the cash (and real estate, etc) they have on the books.

Buffet basically assumes that he is a better investor than his shareholders and by not paying taxes twice (corporate and individual) on dividends he will do better investing the profits and growing book value than his shareholders. Pretty good assumption so far.
Out of curiosity, does multiplayer work? My main concern is LAN/Battle.net.
As thejosh pointed out, not everyone uses the same editor. Futhermore, most programmers (I estimate 90%) don't use terminal based editors. Some common distributions of emacs/vim (MacVim) won't even run in a terminal for that matter.

Forcing N users to share one screen and one editor sucks.

Finally, absolutely no one wants to deal with private keys and setting up users/groups.

As a ping pong hobbyist and an employee at a company that does have a ping pong table, I can assure you a $150 ping pong table is not good enough for anyone that actually plays ping pong because they think it's fun and they'd like to get better at it over time. It might be good enough for when you have nothing to do and you're just killing time. If you care about the game, then a ping pong table goes for ~$1500.

Classrooms are still full of MacBooks and iPads because the first modern tablets with active stylus support came out after the fall semester of last year started (meaning the yearly push for students to buy new computers hasn't happened yet) and Microsoft has done a completely terrible job of marketing them.

Also, at least at my college, effectively no one takes notes with their laptops or iPads anyway. If they're out in class, it's for Facebook or something else totally unrelated to the class itself. Notes are still written down on good ol' paper.
This reminds me of what many popular websites did during the SOPA and PIPA discussion. Though most sites simply displayed some mock warning or announcement stating "This is what you could see if SOPA was passed".

Instead of or in addition to fighting NSA surveillance operations and requests I wonder if sites could instead display a message or page detailing what the NSA would be provided with if they ever came asking for your information.

My bet is that the site won't form a community and take off unless they put in some rules and boundaries. Then the complaining will start, and we'll come full circle.

My favorite editor is KEdit. Mostly
at my computer, I'm looking at a Web page
in Firefox or a text file in KEdit.
I use KEdit for notes of wide variety,
phone numbers, mailing addresses, etc.,
any high quality word processing via TeX,
typing in source code for software, looking
at the log files from my Web site development,
etc. Since I use KEdit on Windows XP
(hope it works on Windows 7 and Windows
Server when I convert to them),
maybe it would work on Windows phone.

> 3. Who still uses paper? That's such an edge-case :p

During a phone call, that's the only way
I know to capture info quickly. E.g.,
if the call is for me to get some info,
say, a name, phone-number, or e-mail address,
then I write it quickly on paper.
Maybe I should type in the info, but
I don't use a head set on my phone so
only have one hand available for
capturing the info.

That's a clever idea, but I think that most users would be disconcerted by the sheer amount of information that's collected by most web sites already. It would raise the question, "why do you need to collect all that?" before anything else. Which is a good question to be sure, but probably not the one that most companies want to be answering.
Yeah. Similarly, I pretty much landed (around a decade ago) on seeing cancer as little more than a small subset of death for which we'd identified features and given it a name--i.e., before humans identified cancer, people just died for then-unknown reasons (which were likely, at given points in history, called 'natural causes'). Once we identified cancer, people 'got cancer' and, subsequently, a varying percentage of such people died, with that percentage declining as understanding and treatment improved. I remain fascinated by cancer research and the hope for a cure because I remain fascinated by seeing humans practicing science discover more ways to identify death and prevent it.

I couldn't agree more! Joel, are you listening?
IMO, if "all these speakers" collectively make the language ambiguous, then clearly someone is in error, because unambiguity[0] is essential to the primary purpose of language: communication. This has nothing to do with whether one is a logician or mathematician.

A sentence like "all X are not Y" naturally associates like "all X are (not Y)". Usually modifiers attach to the closest thing they can, as a matter of well-established convention. So if someone decides they want that to mean "not (all X are Y)" and expects me to understand it, I'm going to go ahead and say they're the one in error. Sorry, Tolkien.

Just FYI, you are doing something wrong if your C code segfaults.

EDIT: Oh, missed the errata.
Hm. Is that really that surprising? Many more mature languages have been standardized with multiple competing implementations, some proprietary, some free.

In fact, I think among popular languages, there are more of them with multiple competing implementations than there are with just one. Java, C, C++, Objective-C, C#, Fortran, JavaScript, Common Lisp, and Scheme all have multiple implementations, with their own implementations of the standard library.

The main exceptions are the collection of "scripting languages" which got popular in the late '90s and early 2000s like Perl, Python, Ruby, and PHP, which have mostly grown communities around a single implementation. But Ruby and Python at least (I'm not sure about the others, being less familiar with them) have been working towards multiple implementations and at least somewhat standardizing the core language and library to make multiple implementations more viable.

Two follow up questions:
1) Would it then be safe to conclude that Mozart probably had photographic memory, since he could remember a whole song just by listening to it once ?
2) Do people with photographic memory feel isolated, and if yes, do they suffer from it ? The author hinted at that, but I wonder if there is any kind of general trait there.
>* This is totally the point of this run of Google Glass. While this is a fair and worthwhile personal essay, I don't think it's a particularly impactful statement about the potential of the product. He's basically saying that, for $1500, he wants to be blown away now.*

And it's also something Google and Microsoft do all the time. Release or pre-announce half-baked stuff, just to get some publicity, years (or decades) before they are fit for consumption.

That supposedly makes them look "innovative".
I'm pretty sure that not all the drivers(especially graphic ones) fully support PAE. Server versions of PAE would be much easier to support than making sure drivers for win32 would be compatible in a PAE environment.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/gg4...

Typically, device drivers must be modified in a number of small ways. Although the actual code changes may be small, they can be difficult. This is because when not using PAE memory addressing, it is possible for a device driver to assume that physical addresses and 32-bit virtual address limits are identical. PAE memory makes this assumption untrue.
Oh man, and I'm glad they finally settled for Phobos. I don't use D much, but thanks to gdc, the gcc frontend to dmd, and Phobos, writing D actually became acceptable, almost enjoyable. There's, of course, still the fact that D is not very widely used.

I had a somewhat atypical memory through early high school. Long story short: I was really, really good at memorizing books without trying to, and could recall them word-for-word, with essentially random access inside the book if you spotted me two sentences to work off of.

This also extended to remembering events/conversations/etc in my own life, and they often became "intrusive thoughts." Was anybody hear ever picked on in 3rd grade? Imagine reliving that incident, in photographic detail, for no darned good reason during an 8th grade field trip.

I was honestly happy/sad when I "grew out of it." Happy for the obvious reason, a little sad that I can no longer recite the entire Hobbit as a party trick. (It took me longer than you would think to figure out that this was not actually as effective as a party trick as I thought it was.)

My understanding is that there's many, many flavors of atypical memories. I have a friend from high school who also has one, also (like myself) in solution with a few other issues which will get you referred to a school counselor. He can still quote my drivers license number, which he saw for five seconds 15 years ago.

The problem with Microsoft (since it's inception) is a complete lack of originality. The company is based upon intellectual theft and dominant business strategies. It worked for years and years but the ecosystem has evolved now.

Microsoft has been chasing Apple since they released the Zune with some vague hope of success. The sad thing is there are a number of exceedingly talented individuals working at the company, it just sounds like innovation was strangled by corporate culture years ago (if it ever existed there).

My only gripe with Foundation is the JavaScript components seem rather difficult to manipulate. I write applications with Backbone.js and I'm still not sure how to programmatically change the active tab in an accordion without resorting to $tab.trigger('click'). Also, the tab/accordion component has serious issues with FOUC (flashes of unstyled content).

Hopefully they can focus on improving some of these JavaScript components. I just don't have the resources right now to contribute pull requests when I run into problems - it's usually easier to completely ditch the component or write a bespoke version using a Backbone view.
There's a higher level of photographic memory that very few people are capable of. Those that can call on demand images of the past at will. I've met one, and knew of a teacher who knew one. Like the author of this article stated. It can be a curse, nightmares and things they don't want to remember stick with them. Forever.

Although a lot of people also have really great memory, which can arguably said to be "somewhat photographic" as the author said. In which case, I do as well. I cannot agree that being able to walk through a previous scene with a bird's eye view is part of being photographic memory though. I think that as just powerful spatial visualization combined with good memory.
I suck at C?

A more relevant experiment would be to just hide certain books for a year and see if anyone notices. However, the percentage of a community that will read any one book in a year is so small that you wouldn't be able to discern any overall negative effect from hiding it.

Book banning used to be scary when printed books were the only way of conveying long-form information to the public. Now authors can release the contents on the internet, which isn't perfect (less pleasant to read, no royalties) but good enough to protect freedom of speech.

Post-Mortem of a textbook referral website
He probably thought pointers are the only kind of variables and that he needed to dereference them. I imagine something like

Edit: Or, as I just realised the people below me meant,
