100% agree. This is a far fucking step up from NSFW. I'm quite angry at this one for not just mislabelling - but the absolute disgusting, flippant and completely inhumane disregard for human life that this post represents. Browser-humor doe

This is an absolutely delightful talk by 80 year old retail veteren Harry Rosen. In the first five minutes he tells a story about herring sales that you'll remember for life. His wealth of experience in retail can teach us all lessons abou

You're right. I'm 100% beside you on the value for time spent, but as you've mentioned there's also the 'learning value' that comes form building it from the ground up. (Think of how much I'd have to spend to learn it in a University course

Ahhh... it's an article about using IMPACT Engine. I should have known we weren't going to get collisions in a 30 minute web-tutorial :) I've been stuck for a week on pixel level collisions in HTML5 (though to be fair, my day job has taken

Yes, as MTW mentioned above as well. It might be less risky up to the point that your business is actually successful. Then apparently, it is significantly more risky.

There was another post earlier today with all of the US H1-B salary data for the last 10 years. http://www.flcdatacenter.com/CaseH1B.aspx I downloaded it all the second I saw it with the thoughts that I'd just be able to "find something t

I wrote the stuff behind http://fstr.net so it's my own personal games portal. The games come in from a few different XML feeds 'mochigames' being the big one. There are some crons that run a few times a day to update the list of availab

I see the brick/block popper game a lot (I have a games portal and I check out the 'new stock' pretty much every day). On thing that I notice that the better brick-block-popper games do is that they start with far fewer colors. Maybe just

I read the headline and actually laughed out loud at the thought of it. In my mind* North American Startups probably have the work hours of regular Japanese corporations. So a Japanese startup must be some order of magnitude higher than tha

I completely disagree with the article. The 25% bonus is not a blunder at all. It's a big shake-up that's certain, but based on what I've been reading about Google recently, I think it's actually quite a visionary move. If you've been readi

I once completed the sale of zioo.com on GoDaddy. I'd managed to hand-register the name for the regular registration price. The money came off my credit card and everything. About an hour later, I got an email saying "sorry, we didn't real
