The 'get live advice' widget seems very out of place to me in terms of design. The stock photo is annoying me particularly.

There are at least four different button designs on the front page. Some difference is ok, but I think they need to have something in common.

Yes, an aging population is a problem in any country that's seen a drop in fertility rates. This effect is actually the worst in Japan, followed by Italy.

re: lack of women

The nice possibilities are polyandry, in which one female marries multiple males. Another is the the devaluing of males. I.e. because of the rareness of females, males may some how compensate their families, and girls could become more valuable for parents to have. A third "nice" possibility would be to import females from other countries, or for males to emigrate to higher female areas. This would diffuse the problem, although if China's population becomes high enough it will just spread the problem to everyone.

The not-so-nice possibilities include increased male-male competition for mates (which happens in all species, including humans; single males are much more likely to be murdered or be murderers than their married counterparts/women in all cultures.) In history, it would be quite common for violence to occur at least in part for the purpose of procuring more females.

We can't predict it, but there's likely to be some sort of fallout. Maybe there's a technological solution: androids? Virtual reality brides? Prostitution? The excess boys need something to keep them occupied. Perhaps porn will be sufficient.

I frequently (3 times per week) go to tea houses to program, in order to get out of the house. Some spots cost upwards of $6 dollars, for TEA! Do I spend the money? Hell yes;

very simply because pretty asian girls serve you the tea with a smile.
Here's what I did (on OS 10.6).
1) Created two bookmark folders in the bookmark bar named "NewFolder", and "OtherFolder" (right click on bar->Add Folder)
2) Added two bookmarks to NewFolder (browse to site, click star, select NewFolder in Folder drop down list)
3) Moved bookmarks from one folder to the other (browse to bookmarked page, click the star, click Edit, change the folder drop down selection, close)

This doesn't allow you to move folders around, and it's annoying that you don't have a way to manage the bookmark of a page without browsing to that page. It's not the full "Bookmark Manager", but you can manage bookmarks.
Following evil laws is evil

Civil disobedience is appropriate for individuals, not institutions.

Think of it this way: Ought it be the role of corporations to decide what laws are evil and what laws to follow, or should that it be the role of judges and elected officials to nullify and repeal them? I would rather put the responsibility (and blame) on the latter, not MBA's responding to short-term shareholder interests.

This is the same knee-jerk idiocy as to the Kindle's DRM issue: Amazon is not an institution equipped to decide on the morality of DRM. They're an institution designed to maximize shareholder value. Let the elected officials decide questions of morality, and let the corporations decide how to organize individuals into profit-maximizing groups.
Well, the irony is that re: population control, it seems to happen naturally with the development of Western civ ideas (i.e. feminism.) China doesn't even begin to have the lowest r(growth rate); Japan has that honor, followed by Italy, then the rest of Europe.

The second you give women the opportunity to work instead of raise a pack of squalling children, they seem to prefer work.

However, China is very anti-feminist and is aborting all their women, thereby impeding the natural events which could lead to an even lower r. So I'm not sure it's correct to say that their lead is the best to follow if you want global r to decrease, human rights issues aside.
There is indeed a significant difference between the two - people paying for RHEL get support in return for their money.

BSD benefactors get a good feeling and a word of thanks for their contribution.

The difference in the amounts of money received by both institutions shows how much are people willing to pay for the former vs. the latter.
Pretty Cool.

But what happens if you don't have a venmo account and you pay the restaurant and then decide when you get home not to create an account? Do they somehow charge you through your phone bill?

Sales and marketing. There is no rush like the rush of money, real, serious money.

Everyone you see programming is like a medieval craftsman, good at one thing and one thing only. As a salesman, you're the top dog, you have an eye for who is good and who is bad, you can choose whose products to sell, who to make rich, and who to work with. You're a phone wielding king-maker.

If you love thinking, that's all you will do. You will try to understand everyone's business, what they do, who they sell to, how much, how often, and under what restrictions. You take your work with you, to the pub, restaurant, street, gym and home. You will be taking notes when others are talking. You will go over your girlfriend's browser history to learn what she shops for. You will be opening your parent's credit card statements to see where the money goes. A day at the mall will be like heaven to you; you will get a rush from seeing people spend. Information will fucking nurture you.

You do that so often you can see trends before they hit the press :-)

Nothing like being able to give your friends and family business, real solid leads, and all others will have to contend for your attention and rolodex.

Sales makes bull-fighting look boring. It's as if the newspapers were published for your own amusement. Every little column brings in an idea, a lead, a name, an opportunity.

P.S. and on good days you will be too thrilled that you end up talking like this. Guess who closed today? ABC :-)

You want to calculate the odds of 162 people not showing an effect where there should be one?

What is important is not the sample size, but the manner of sample selection. 10 people carefully chosen to represent a population is infinitely more valuable than 1000 people chosen with some uncontrolled selection bias.
Great looking site.

On my screen (1680 x 1050) the "live chat" graphic overlaps the "My Account" link & text in top header.

Because, you're selling high ticket priced items, I would recommend you place a seal or two in the footer. Possibly near the "add to cart" & checkout buttons as well. I know it may sound silly, but a mcafee seal (as much as i hate this fact) can impact conversions significantly in certain industries. Do lots of testing before committing to any seal.

I'm curious, was your cart completely built in house or is it based on some cart out there. I'm truly impressed with the sites performance.

Colin's statement was in the context of the question of BSD vs. GPL licensing.

RedHat's model it's clearly more effective than simple charity, but I don't see a difference between RedHat and any other OSS-reliant contributing vendor. As an example, Juniper funds FreeBSD development based on sales/support of their high-end networking products, and contributed the MIPS port included in FreeBSD 8:

Blue Coat contributed the new L2/L3 SMP-improved rewrite:

http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3835746

The main difference is that these companies make their money by incorporating FreeBSD into their products, are not required to provide all the source to their products, and thus can contribute back improvements as they see fit.

Not necessarily correct. As Plato writes in the Crito:

"Reflect now, Socrates," the laws might say, "that if what we say is true, you are not treating us rightly by planning to do what you are planning. We have given you birth, nurtured you, educated you; we have given you and all other citizens a share of all the good things we could. Even so, by giving every Athenian the opportunity, once arrived at voting age and having observed the affairs of the city and us the laws, we proclaim that if we do not please him, he can take his possessions and go wherever he pleases. Not one of our laws raises any obstacle or forbids him, if he is not satisfied with us or the city, if one of you wants to go and live in a colony or wants to go anywhere else, and keep his property. We say, however, that whoever of you remains, when he sees how we conduct our trials and manage the city in other ways, has in fact come to an agreement with us to obey our instructions. We say that the one who disobeys does wrong in three ways, first because in us he disobeys his parents, also those who brought him up, and because, in spirit of his agreement, he neither obeys us nor, if we do something wrong, does he try to persuade us to do better. Yet we can only propose things, we do not issue savage commands to do whatever we order; we give two alternatives, either to persuade us or to do what we say. He does neighter. We do say that you too, Socrates, are open to those charges if you do what you have in mind; you would be among, not the least, but the most guilty of the Athenians." And if I should say "Why so?" they might well be right to upbraid me and say that I am among the Athenians who most definitely came to that agreement with them. They might well say: "Socrates, we have convincing proofs that we and the city were congenial to you. You would not have dwelt here most consistently of all the Athenians if the city had not been exceedingly pleasing to you. You have never left the city, even to see a festival, nor for any other reason except military service; you have never gone to stay in any other city, as people do; you have had no desire to know another city or other laws; we and our city satisfied you."

For any major company any given channels' numbers have some percentage of sales which have cannibalized from other channels. That's just the nature of the universe. There's no accurate way to measure how much is incremental revenue versus cannibalized from another channel.

So is some of that 6.5 million cannibalized from another channel. Yes. Is all of it? No. Some of it is new (new customers or new sales due to reaching out to existing or potential customers). It's also a dirt cheap channel, which is key.

For ANY company, driving $6.5 million in revenue via a new marketing channel which has close to zero cost, is a great win.

single males are much more likely to be murdered or be murderers than their married counterparts/women in all cultures

You don't think that that might have more to do with single males being younger and more likely to do risky things in general? Also, being married implies a commitment to being part of a family for a long time - and not do things that are likely to get you killed.

It's amusing. Back when Wolfram's "A New Kind of Science" (NKS) came out, I was one of the masochistic types that actually read the whole thing. It's a fairly decent introductory text to cellular automata, but it's not new, and wasn't back then either. Well, the amusing bit is that he explicitly states in there how while the visual system has meaningful potential for interpreting complex patterns such as those generated by cellular automata, the auditory system is too linear and limited to perceive such things. And not too long later, he publishes a cellular automata -based music generator on his website (this thing has been around for a while).

I like this much better than the post it's a sequel to. It is clear, to the point, readable in one minute. One point I would add is "Don't make your audience wait." People who commit the crime of bullet points often aggravate it by making them appear (or slide in with a whoosh effect) one at a time, forcing the audience to process the information much slower than they could. It's very frustrating for the audience. The screen blanking tip is useful (and underdocumented). The best slideshows I've seen had the screen blank most of the time, and were used to show photos and diagrams as necessary, containing no text.

Viaweb wasn't the first startup Robert Morris and I started. In January 1995, we and a couple friends started a company called Artix. The plan was to put art galleries on the Web. In retrospect, I wonder how we could have wasted our time on anything so stupid. Galleries are not especially excited about being on the Web even now, ten years later. They don't want to have their stock visible to any random visitor, like an antique store. [2]

Younger males do risky things because that's when they're looking for mates. Death rates start to spike for males in their teens and then decline in their mid twenties, whereas the lines for females smoothly increase as they age.

That aside, if you do a regression on the incidence of murder rates, both age and marriage status are significant. So yes, age explains some of it. So does marriage status, independently.

Regardless of the reason that marriage keeps you out of violent situations, the point still stands that being unmarried is a risk factor for violence.

Openoffice.org- Play starwars galaxy easter egg in Calc
Interesting... It seems like there are real needs for conventions/standards and tooling in several areas.

First, Windows desperately needs a proper package manager. There are several projects in the space, but none as successful or prominent as apt, yum, etc.

Second, README files seem woefully insufficient for documenting where to send contributions. Doesn't the Linux kernel (and Google internally) have the concept of OWNERS files? If I recall correctly, Google's tools understand these files for the sake of code reviews and bug filing. There is probably also some space for an extended diff/patch format with code review comments. Or a standard format for documenting a version graph.

Just spewing ideas...
It's all pretty interesting that they are arguing for overturning Sarb-Ox because of oversight issues. I don't really understand why they set up a separate commission in the first place instead of bringing in that type of oversight under the SEC.
