Ok: a) Shitty jobs will offer shitty salaries b) Employers who have shitty employees will feel a senior is worth 50k. Why? Because their "seniors" are juniors at best and are doing the recruiting. c) Location. If they are the only game in t

That's not true and is horsecrap. a) check length of password. Length < 6 = fail. Length < 10 = complexity requirement. Length < 15 = less complexity requirement. Length > 15 = secure. b) ALWAYS do a dictionary lookup on the

Looks like MS is pushing hard for "upgrade to our latest os or DIE"... It's ok, their office will support windows 2k if it has to because its the big money maker. And people will leave IE behind soon enough.

I'm in. Now we better be getting our money's worth! Now that I think about it. 1 day for a country for 70k is fine. Means we can throw one fucking helluva party!

Most animals spend 100% of the time conserving energy or hunting (primates and children play excluded). They don't do leisure. Evolution favors the plentiful. Some might say the most fit to survive the earth are the roaches. We can't kill t

"No idea why Google wouldn’t be leading the way on this." Because Google cares about making the best technology that thinks solely about the user and in no way acts in Google's interest? Possibly because its not high priority for them.

Yes but the problem is when markets hijack business models. Like what apple did with in-app sales.

This does not say "its not your fault" its more of "its not your fault for being ignorant to the harm of sugar, but its still up to you to watch what you eat". Its like saying "its not your fault, smoking is addictive"... thats right, its a

Humans have a problem with those sort of issues. Furthermore when surrounded by pretty much everything sugar, its kind of hard to avoid. Imagine if we were to find out tomorrow that people who use facebook are 60% likely to die of a seizure

ummmmm... wtf? This sounds a lot like a setup of google voice. I create a GV account for my "home" phone which is forwarded to my cell phones. If only I had sprint cell service in my apartment. Works literally everywhere but there.

Does that mean I can sue microsoft because I feel they are evil and they implement JSON?

Its so native to win vista/7 that it does not support windows xp which Opera/Firefox/Chrome ALL support WITH their performance improvements AND they've done so while staying ahead of IE9. I guess if that's native, yes IE9 wins. I think in u

So first of all, the demographics may be at play here. Second of all, if yahoo is "powered by bing" that basically means that bing in itself did not win anything, they just took an entire existing user base and replaced one engine with anot

I like this post. It is exactly right. This is sort-of like... Red Hat vs Cent OS. Cent OS is essentially the freeware version of red hat. Yes yes OSS bla bla bla. However, why are companies not pursuing cent? its free. Hell its orders of m

Yes. However lets consider this: If it meets 80% of the population's 100% needs then its good enough for me. Imagine a ~60% or so reduction in co2 emissions world wide. Sure 20% of people still need their big trucks, but at least not everyo

I in a way agree with the OP however I think we are decades away from the proposed future. The problem is multi-tiered - If you are outside of a major city, chances are you don't have internet wireless coverage everywhere. In fact many plac

The one wire to rule them all? Seriously, invest into a second wire going overhead. Perhaps a third going a slightly different rout just incase.

+1 to the try-before-you-buy mentality. Will keep this in mind.

I don't think that's a viable strategy for people who rip people off. Also I'm sure this was a day's worth of work for one dude, and super cheap production. You can't build real hardware on those terms.

The only thing about this whole situation is that what if a company is based in the US? Does it mean that the company is now ip-blocked from france if they don't conform? Problem with non-international laws is like the US State dissallowing

Ironically Fasterfox is one of those problems. I am annoyed by the slow startup time of FF, but since it mostly stays open all day long I can deal. I think the adblocking that firefox has is superior since it can prevent content from being

Its not a paint job. They do a poor job letting you know what features are the awesome ones. It pretty much makes the android launcher extremely user friendly. Try it out. Uninstalling apps, hiding stuff in app drawer. Folders that are more
