> It seems more clear to me, but how do I know for sure? Oh! I'll put them up on a road and see if the accident rates change!".

Meh. The American way would be "Build a street for font, and see which one people are willing to pay more for"


At one point in the past it was argued that hosting your site with a provider that injects ads was sufficient to consider the page "commercial". I don't know what came of it, or what is now required for a page to be commercial.


So basically: Thanks, Saddam?


For Americans: there's a special E1 visa for Australians that's part of a Free Trade Agreement Australia received for invading Iraq.

Very misleading title. His points are roughly tl;dr:

- Intrinsic vs. extrinsic is not sufficient to fully describe the range of motivation

- intrinsic isn't well-defined

- Extrinsic can work well, too

- It's not proven that intrinsic makes happier


Well, I was exhausted already after reading the ToC.


Was referring to the website, not the submission.


> did you think it may be worth some time?

So how much would you pay for it, roughly? I'm sure if we find enough people to chip in, it will happen.


Don't be so obtuse, getting a feature in a proprietary operating system when the vendor has a shitload of customers doesn't work that way.

For example, the windows command prompt has been shit forever, only after more than a decade does resize and copy/paste work properly.

I started to care about the stuff we read in school in my early thirties (Shakespeare would be an exception, for ... reasons).

There's a special exception for Max Frisch which I discovered mid-twenties and was very thankful I did not have to read it in school.

So, well, the "why" is: maybe later in your life.

(There's another "why" in "you an your friends aren't necessarily representative for Germany as a whole, bit that would have been a rather cheap comment)


My town has two successful DVD rental places. Their "hipster twist" is basically: quality movies, and an owner that can find something for you. They aim at students and established inteligentia. At its core, the service they provide is discovery.

(the town also has a surprisingly thriving arthouse cinema scene, so it's certainly a welcoming environment.)

As for the wall of nekkid: "Confessions of a porn store clerk" (http://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Of-Porn-Store-Clerk-ebook/...) is a fabulous read. It's available for free, too, but I found it worth the dime.


> Using just these two values, an attacker could completely manage any aspect of a flight reservation using United’s website.

Don't most airline websites allow that when you get the last name and date of departure right?


Yes. But the point is that he was able to gain these two bits of information.
