But on the list of people the planet is better off without, OBL was close to the top.
This mentality is purely what makes man appear so primitive in his nature and is exactly what got us into this mess in the first place.
Bin Laden: On the list of countries the planet is better off without, the US is close to the top.

I'm going to offer a healthy bit of skepticism here but it frightens me the way this is being reported.
Specifically: "...justice has been done". American military and C.I.A. operatives had ...shot him to death.
Obama: "I authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice."
Obama: "His demise should be welcome by all who believe in peace and human dignity."
Is that how we conduct justice now? I am not satisfied by this outcome. I would rather have had him in custody showing we hold the higher ground when it pertains to morality and justice. Its no surprise to me now that our morality and judgment is an illusion which I thought, ever since I was a kid, was what made America great. The fact that Obama plays off people's emotions in his speech to gain support for this outcome is purely disgusting.
And lastly, you believe this because the media and Obama says its so?

Sounds like you're doing it. You are looking for a way to make yourself a better developer and this never ends. I found eventually, that no one every really knew a good design. It seems like we always invented that along the way. Yeah, we all knew patterns etc, and were bound to certain ways of doing things, but somehow we seemed to always get lucky on most designs. It quite possibly may have been that the problems solved themselves eventually. And after we saw the code we wrote we looked at it made it better on the last few days creating, in most cases, an elegant design. The designs were more apparent after the project was done which were never consistent from project to project.
One way to learn good software design is to look at other peoples code who are good at what they do. For me those people are John Resig, Douglas Crockford, etc.

I actually filled out the form for more info (http://sfcube.com/apply.php)...the terms and conditions link didn't go anywhere and after 10 attempts to get the captcha right I gave up. When I got the captcha wrong it posted back and deleted the entire form which only the back button fixed. Get a clue guys! After browsing the site some more though I was glad they didn't get a hold of my info.

Good article...seems to come down to visual preference for the author.
But...
To use BING because its not something else (Because It's Not Google) makes my anti-anti self kick in and makes me not want to use it for the simple fact I'm not 12 years old anymore. MS needs to grow up and just release good groundbreaking innovative products like they've done for the development world.

MightyQuiz ...The site is very sticky: the average session lasts 8 minutes (or 19 questions). As a comparison, the founders claim that Slate has an average session length of 4:22 and Wired has 3:34.
Are 3-8 minute sessions any indication of success? My site gets over 10 minutes right now.

Well, I appreciate your opinion about 'interestingness' but whats the point of google when there was yahoo?
Thirst for death only perpetuates further violence and hatred which will lead to more grieving families. I never implied to let the guy go but we should be maintaining the moral higher ground here.

Please, allow me to express the following opinion without reprise and then I am finished: He should have been taken alive at all costs. I think my kids would have been safer if we had.
