You can downvote, your you can try to argue how -- even though my comment was cursory -- I am incorrect. But I don't think you will, because you know I'm right.

Dude, stfu and get back to work. I mean really, who tells someone else how to run their business? If it works for him, it works for him, and that's that.

They are listening, but can't hear because of the constant kachinging of their registers. Edit: Also, the Forbes brand looks much better when it is on a newstand or sitting on a shelf in every waiting room that matters.

Seeing $object->method() made me shed a little tear in remembrance of the days I sweated bullets for PHP.

The software entity is constantly subject to pressures for change. Of course, so are buildings, cars, computers. But manufactured things are infrequently changed after manufacture; they are superseded by later models, or e

You might not be competing, but I am certainly competing for status, mates, sex, money and all that. Yes it is definitely a vs. thing. I compete against every adult male in my proximity, whether he be sales, engineering, or janitor.

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but if companies only issue stock that isn't transferable, why not simply issue options? Issuing non-transferable stock seems like two things that accomplish the same goal, namely: to express "incentive i

This works, but only for natural extroverts, politicians, and DHH. For you, hacker, much better to keep a low profile until you've got something to announce.

Think about an Oil rig, if you will. Just because it takes half a billion dollars to get it started doesn't mean it is barely eking out a profit while it's being built. Once it's built, its going to make the owners billions.

I don't even use gmail to communicate with friends and family anymore. Hell, usually I don't even call them. Facebook is the only way.

There's a word that describes this process: friction. Mint, the name, the website, and flawless yodlee integration, completely eliminates friction. Most importantly, it eliminates viral friction. A web savvy person will seek and find out an

You're wrong. Design is the graphics and user experience taken together. Most companies still have a designer that designs both UI (graphic element style and placement) and UX (dictation of frontend behavior).

Nor does he seem to understand the difference design can make. He hints that he understands, but I don't think he really gets just how much of a difference the stunning first impression of Mint made. It's like the difference between meeting

I'm actually not one of those antiwar protesters that crawls in ditches. I didn't say "they should be against " the wars. I just said they should be critical of it; as a publication-of-record it's their job to critique major national iss

This is, after all, NPR...no surprise the war was prominent as they have a decidedly progressive news team. I won't call NPR liberal, but certainly left of center, and very critical (as they should be) of the wars.

I won't send a letter to the USPTO, or Congress, or any other government entity for that matter, regarding patents. Instead I will amass a great deal of influence and wealth by purchasing and applying for and litigating on patents, and then
