Looks like FJ's been excluded from the Internet Archive. Is there a trustworthy caching authority, you know, for this kind of situation?

Microsoft is a behemoth of a company with presumably layers of bureaucratic and historical debris all over the place. Short of a very profound, top-down remodelling of the company, it's actually refreshing to see that new voices are popping up inside of MS and being allowed to advance this quickly.

That is not to say they don't have a lot to make up for, just that there might still be hope for Microsoft.

But also IE/Windows. And at the bottom of the article, there are links for additional resources in Windows and UNIX-like flavours.

It's a shame this comment got downvoted. Be it serious or tongue-in-cheek, it was very enlightening.

The way you phrased your comment can only lead to arguing semantics of the word “terrorist”. As risk to the establishment, a “subversive” can always be framed as a terrorist with a little bit of creativity.

Can you volunteer a significant difference between Franklin and a modern-day terrorist from the establishment ruler's standpoint?

“Apologies to Hans Christian Anderson” — with the whole TED PR thing just starting to cool down, I found this typo actually quite charming. The surname is spelt “Andersen”. :)

EDIT: I wonder, did you write this with anyone in mind or is it a patter you're seeing everywhere? I sure see this kind of nonsense as a plausible scenario in many big-name companies, and I see it in the company I currently work at, though it's dealt with and hopefully will be over soon.

To disambiguate: ebook versions are also free (at least as of 2 minutes ago!).

The juxtaposition of the "A better way to blog" and a gallery of censored layouts is beautiful. Congratulations to the team!

I'm not sure if Mr Hyde's definition of a personal possession was a (well-played) PR trick or simply a certain lack of accounting intuition. Which is a shame, because his putative balance sheet should be a fascinating thing to think about.

If we were to take a look at his assets and guess reasonable values for each category of asset, I wouldn't be surprised if all 15 items he listed (give or take his wallet and computer) ended up in a catch-all 1%-of-total-value "other assets" category.

In reality, Mr Hyde's own description of how he lives (and how he manages to get around with so few 'objects') suggests that the most valuable things he has, by far, are (and probably in that order): his contacts, his reputation, and his cash.

Close to these three, his clothes, iPod and sneakers, however annoying to replace he imagines them to be, should be next to meaningless.
