adblock + noscript ftw. I was really (really) hesitant to begin blocking adverts. I believe in paying for what I use. What finally pushed me over the edge was "good" sites unknowingly distributing malware via adverts.

No Script + RequestPolicy + AdBlock ftw. This combo makes your browsing a little frustrating, but very educational. Try it, even for a day and be amazed at how many sites load content and scripts from 8, 10, or more unrelated domains. I ga

This happens to everyone I think. I had numerous "leads" tossed my way by recruiters and (unfortunately) a few interviews last year that revolved around my experience with <buzzword>. Since I don't particularly want to work doing &

good. Doubt it will ever happen, but I'd love to see the big G banhammer sites that do nothing but aggregate other peoples work. Throw them in the same pile as guys running "free" proxy servers that inject adsense.

They have something like 37 Billion dollars in retained earning and don't pay a dividend. They didn't get that mountain of cash by losing money on things. Assure yourself, if you are using a free google-anything, somehow or other, it adds

AT telling the world they will rip any content they want regardless of owner's wishes, and then trolling about it probably soured most of us on your 'team'. Have you considered that if you're despised by many, it might be for a reason?

If the feds don't have root-level read access I would be shocked.

Wow. What arrogance. A Good reason to honeypot if you aren't already. It's expected. It's polite. Respect the site owner's published policy or expect to get IP banned like any other script kiddie because when a site admin see you ripping c

Reading that article brought to mind a sarcastic question I heard addressed from a skin to a young punk decades back: "So who is in charge of this whole anarchy thing anyway?"

I have a family member that taught dendrology for 30 years. He amazes me by being able to look at a leaf, bark or chunk of wood and tell what it is near instantly. If accurate, this is the sort of thing that will change the teaching proces

Interesting that that gets down voted. Do you really suppose large companies don't invest in understanding what motivates consumers before trying sell to them? Clearly, the ads are trying to associate with a circumstance that people aspire

I don't think a facebook presence if obligatory, but really is well advised if you want to reach a portion of the net-using public that sees facebook as _the_internet_. If you skip FB, you're skipping a lot of eyeballs potentially. If you

Folks hear Microsoft and think operating systems only, which I think is a mistake. They're diversified enough to stumble in one area and make up for it in another. OS/Office Software/Search+Advertising/Mobile/Entertainment. They aren't Ge

/agree SNR on reddit mebbe 5%, slashdot %1 here, I don't know 50%? I see some less than useful posts (like this one), but almost no outright trolling/patently wrong posts. HN makes my daily read list, even if it is a quick glance. Great

most modern plants keep the vehicle in motion at a manageable rate. At the low end, from 45 sec, to over 2 minutes for a low volume line, per pitch. Tasks are theoretically balanced across stations so that each employee gets their task(s) c

Perhaps he was expecting to see evidence of racism due to Henry Ford's connections with anti-semitism. Google "henry ford racism". If you want a dead tree source, I think Anthony Sutton's "Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler" had references.

I get foreign exposure with a combination of ADRs and ETFs. Approx 55% of my portfolio is non North American at the moment. About 2/3 of the foreign portion is in ADRs, but I am fairly risk tolerant. They aren't for everyone.

no, you are not the only one. Managed correctly I don't see how this won't benefit each party. Nokia makes good phones. The software, less good. Microsoft has tonnes of experience creating user interfaces that are user friendly. I'm a long

Star Trek was my favourite television show back in grade school. Never got to see them all as a kid, because TV was limited to a few (crappy) channels where I grew up, but I really loved it. To this day, an episode of ST can side track me

My former employer did these types of surveys a couple times in the last few years I was there. Supposedly 100% anonymous but the survey link mailed to each employee had a hashed (unique) query string. People not taking part in the survey g

I wonder if checking multiple times in two weeks flagged your name as "popular but unregistered", prompting its' registration? I doubt any registrar would grab every single name, but ones that suddenly got search hits probably get snappe
