Fog Creek Elementary?

No thanks. The open-source movement has a hard enough time without having the effort split on the gender line.

A hummingbird or an insect? A pellet gun and a fly swatter should do just nicely.

I think "open source" just needs to get out of our vocabulary completely. It irks me when a project is "open source", but "no one is allowed to touch it except these few developers". It is either open, or it isn't. Instead call that "visible source". If it is open and community driven, it is "community source". If it is GNU, it is "free source".

I saw him in the data center, and chased him onto the roof where he parachuted to a motorcycle, but we caught him!

Unless you have something to run it on that you'd want to run it on, why does it matter?

It's better to burn out than to fade away, Shigeru. Live strong!

It makes sense for DARPA to do this, because it reduces the chance of a soldier using technology/software that is insecure. My first reaction was to laugh as well, but it makes a lot more since for the military to use an App Store, even more so than it does to have one in OS X and Windows.

Artist: "So what should this thing look like?"
NASA engineer: "It's 600 light-years away. How the @#$% should I know!"
Artist: "Picking a planet from an old Star Trek episode at random then."
NASA engineer: "Ok. But no funny stuff. Save the stars, rainbows, and unicorns for your acid trips."
Artist: "Nebulous clouds in the background- check."

If Captain Kirk could do it, so can you! You need to be using Siri a lot more, and call it "Computer..."

But, I don't see how I could develop on a tablet. Too much depends on a thicker OS than iOS/Android.

If the location is about the same as the successful ones, then the problem could still be location. Or perhaps marketing/advertising. Or perhaps wrong market (food is good to you, but not to the clientele they should be targeting. Just to say it is "the luck of the draw" is wrong. There is good and bad luck, fate, blessing, curse, etc. but you can many times more be successful with the right preparation and experience.

Keepin' it in their back pocket to recover when a distraction is needed from some other larger screw-up.

Please consider reading up on this matter. These social programs traditionally, and logically, require more funding as time goes by to account for cost of living increases. This has been happening for a long time and for Democrats to offer no cost of living increases in funding for these programs is an offer of compromise. It is a fact that it is an act of compromise because it is contrary to what most Democrats and the majority of the American people want. It is this kind of long term thinking that we need right now. We don't need knee jerk reactionary cuts that fail to consider future generations. All legislation is dependent upon future Congresses not changing it, this is how a stable Democracy works. Finally, please use Google and do some research on Government spending. In the 8 years that Republicans controlled our government from 2000-2008 government spending increased by over 55%. Please go rant somewhere else about Democrats spending too much money or not being genuine when offering to compromise in order to move this country forward.

Thanks for pointing this out. You're right. As far as I understand the plan it would have prevented me from deducting the interest on my mortgage which is a benefit that I and many other homeowners I know appreciate. My experiences are not everyone's but this hit close to home so I exaggerated.
