Find a lawyer that will take it on contingency. Also, talk to 'grellas' here, he's one of the nicest legal eagles I've ever seen.

When you work somewhere it is understood that you will not recruit amongst your colleagues. You may not like that but it is to everybody's mutual advancement that this is the way it is. I'm saying that as a one-time employee and one time bu

Customer control is a difficult issue. Of course everybody likes to pretend that their stuff needs to be done yesterday. But in reality, most things can wait for a day or two, or even longer. Too much of that and you do start to suffer and

You're right about the 'use it or lose it', but the damages will likely be set to '0', especially in those cases where the value of the original copyrighted data is minimal (which I think in this case is fairly clear). As for the question o

It depends. As long as they freely choose to leave and then you hook up, that's just fine. If you poach then you're setting yourself up for being poached in return. Keep the high ground and you'll do just great. One of my co-founders was a

That lawsuit is - as far as I can tell - dead in the water anyway because of the number of years that the situation has been going on. If you let a thing like that lapse for too long then you can't later on turn around and demand reparation

Exactly. Fragmentation is the only thing that holds back the next level of open source adoption.

You can get rid of any amount of money by wasting it. But if you live a normal life with normal desires then a couple of million will go a long long way towards realizing your every wish, except for the absurd. Your own plane = extravagance

It could go down too, by 4%. Risk works both ways, hence the higher reward. You can't really expect anything, the only thing that you can do is trade risk for potential gain or loss and hope that you jump to the next ice-floe when you shoul

Both versions are really nice but I find the C version to be lots easier to understand (I come from a C background, so that's probably not a surprise). What does this look like to an experienced lisp/clojure programmer, do they have the sam

Zero effort investment return is typically a shade or two under inflation, so even if the absolute number increases your ability to buy stuff steadily decreases, as does your effective net worth.

If you still look at the prices of the stuff you intend to buy then you're not rich. Once you stop looking at prices you're rich, no matter how much actual money you've got.

This is all very true. But there is one big but. If you live like that you yourself will have it easy, but the economy as a whole will suffer and the weak in society will suffer disproportionally. The further South you go in Europe, the str

My least favorite bit is the part that says "I'm now seriously considering to cut my losses, call it quits and fly back to civilization.". As if civilization is determined by the housing situation and/or your own efforts required in order t

If a small bump on the road like this is going to make you run then emigration is probably not for you. In time you'll have to deal with lots more friction and red tape than the simple act of scoring a place to live in an area where such pl
