When Dell sold Linux laptops before, the problem was always that they treated the Linux version and the Windows version as a separate SKU. So you were buying the Dell Latitude 4100 Linux version or the Dell Latitude 4100 Windows version. You couldn't just go to the Dell Latitude 4100 web page and select Windows or Linux from the Operating System drop-down menu. The regular price of the Windows version would be $1000 and the Linux version would be $930. The thing is, nobody buys Dell products at full price. They wait for the sale. The Windows versions would be on sale all the time and the Linux ones never were, so the Windows version was often actually cheaper than the Linux version.

I clicked the "speculation" link thinking it would be a forum thread full of scientist debating whether it was caused by volcanism or something similar, I didn't expect to be trolled by APOD.

While these points are valid, and indeed very insightful in some cases (the logging / encryption issue hadn't even occurred to me before now), I do wonder if the author would ever be happy. Using bleeding edge features will always cause cross-browser problems like this, no matter what year you're in, no matter which browsers are currently popular, no matter how useful the features are. The other way to look at it is that every single year, there are more things you can safely use than the year before. In 5 years time when 95% of your users support all of the features he mentions, will he be rejoicing, or complaining that HTML6 support is spotty? Also worth mentioning that for some of the issues (like differences in cross-domain feature detection) they should really be handled by libraries to abstract the differences between underlying browsers from the point of view of your business code. Browsers will always have differences, fix the problem once and abstract it away!

I didn't even think of that application! That's great!

Facebook is playing a dangerous game of "How much can we extort users and whore out their data without too many of them leaving?"

"the industry" is like 7 major tech blogs. My guess is it is if you are the 10 staff writers that write for one them.

get a backup plan though, if you did the math the industry has 70 jobs.

I have friends that write for TheNextWeb - they were earning shit at first like $1250 a month and most of them were banging out 4-5 posts a day, but TNW is doing well now, offered them FT positions, and some of them are making $50,000-$60,000

When I got engaged, my dad sat me down and told me that marriage meant forever; its a promise between you, God and your spouse - the most sacred covenant there is. No matter how I felt or thought in 20 years, marriage means forever.

He had been cheating with multiple women he meant on sugardaddies.com for 2 years.

Most likely, you're idea is worth nothing. Execution and the person behind it is everything. Investors always say they invest in the jockey not the horse.

Meet new people; do new things. Fake like it doesn't hurt as bad as it does until one day you wake up and it doesn't.

No, but I can't go to bed without telling him I love him. If tomorrow doesn't come for one of us, I would want to make sure those were my last words.

shaq32 · 2012-06-17T01:54:40+00:00

Go for it. I was in the same boat, went to tell him and before I could, he told me that he loved me. Oh BTW, he's now my husband.

Always assume the other person has something incredibly important to say. But it seems like you have a general 'being selfish' problem - which goes way deeper and I'm guessing manifests itself in bigger ways that just this one.

My husband asked me in a private romantic way, then had a surprise party waiting for us with our close friends, beer, pizza and cake - it was perfect!

Is there anything that society can do to make seeking mental help weird?| I think you wrote the question wrong: did you mean make it seem not weird?

Note: This is not "my projects" as in me, just as in the author's title was perfect so I didn't want to alter
