"Then, if that user eventually signs up during a later visit, KISSmetrics will associate their previously anonymous profile with their email address or user name. Which means that site admins can look at both how a user is currently using their site, and how they used it months or years before they actually created an account"

"The most aggressive thing they've done is commit handfuls of troops to a multinational "peacekeeping" mission" ie: They are aiding the Americans in killing civilians. I guess that the civilians are now fighting back. Funny how that happens...

Norway's troops in Afghanistan have contributed to the deaths of far more civilians than were killed in this episode. Killing people is a bad long term policy.

If your eyes were stacked one above the other, then the mirror would flip up and down.

Not terribly interesting. Although it is one of the oldest ( if not the oldest ) journals around, it is simply not widely read or terribly important. In addition, from the journal's web site. "All issues back to 2001 are free to access two years after publication."

Now, a collection of all of Nature's issues would have been fascinating.

The London Library, a private library in London's St James Square ( the heart of London's gentleman's clubland ) is a well established version of this ideal. http://www.londonlibrary.co.uk/

" The London Library is now the world's largest independent lending library. It owes its foundation in 1841 to the vision of Thomas Carlyle, who in many ways remains its tutelary genius. But he was not alone in his desire to establish an institution which would allow subscribers to enjoy something of the wealth of a national library for use in their own homes: the Earl of Clarendon, that enlightened early-Victorian politician, was the Library's first president, Thackeray its first auditor; Gladstone and Sir Edward Bunbury were on the first committee. Early members included Dickens and George Eliot. The Library's long-standing role at the centre of the intellectual life of the nation is reflected in the roll-call of its past presidents and vice-presidents, which include Tennyson, Kipling, T. S. Eliot, Rebecca West and Isaiah Berlin. The Library's current president is Sir Tom Stoppard.

The Library stands at the north-west corner of St James's Square, as it has since 1845, after briefly occupying the first floor of the Travellers Club in Pall Mall

The death of the old codex will go unlamented. Physical books will now only be a small niche for traditionalists, like eight track tapes.

I read a lot more now. Before ereaders, I used to read a book a week. I now read between 4 to 5 books a week. In addition, the books I read are of higher quality ( less trash, more mathematics, medicine, philosophy, political analysis and finance ) now that I mainly read from a e-reader. Multi-volume books are so much easier to carry around in a ereader.

The domain name is more appropriate for a pornographic site than for a serious application.

Another troubling fact is that the advice given in the demo also suffers from numerous grammatical errors. This is unlikely to give a potential customer much confidence in the quality of the advice.

That is a common misconception. In reality, there are other interhemispheric connections.

"If, in connection with the termination of a Participant’s Employment, the Ordinary Shares issued to such Participant pursuant to the exercise of the Option or issuable to such Participant pursuant to any portion of the Option that is then vested are to be repurchased, the Participant shall be required to exercise his or her vested Option and any Ordinary Shares issued in connection with such exercise shall be subject to the repurchase and other provisions in the Management Partnership agreement."

This is actually pretty clear even to me ( and I merely have an interest in law as opposed to having legal training ) and should be manifestly obvious to a real lawyer. He should have had a lawyer read his employment contract and then should have discussed it again before he decided to leave Skype.

A brilliant summary of events so far.

May I respectfully suggest that those who do not fulfill the minimum wetware requirements to run Linux successfully should stick to an operating system that is consistent with their cranial capacity.

> My perspective is that of a Junior CS & Physics major reaching towards grad school and some sort of research

Your friends are smart enough to know that grad school in Physics is a blackhole. Once you finish the PhD, it becomes an endless round of hunting for poorly pair post-doc jobs.

It is sad that bright people end up working for many rather worthless companies, producing so many worthless products and services.
