They are. I sold a chunk of my library, a couple hundred books, on Amazon, and saw sellers who would update their prices to be a cent or two below mine any time they didn't have the lowest price. The other commenter is correct, that there's

Anecdote: I've been traveling for the last three months, but most of my network is in Chicago. I hear from recruiters and hiring managers every couple days and, despite the consensus that Chicago has a "developer crisis" (to use the words o

I thought to post this because I read it a few days ago and tried it on recruiter spam last night. After he checked that I was a dev and not a recruiter he said it had never happened before and that the $500 Visa gift card he offered was "a

I am running (4) at http://NearbyGamers.com now. I lovingly call it an 'anti-social network' because the entire goal of the site is to get visitors off the site and gaming with each other in person. There are a couple dozen other sites in

Lamson is, however, GPL rather than AGPL. I checked after reading the post. Seems odd given the content of the post.

I think he's grumpy because Wordpress's actions (and lack of actions) means the healthy marketplace for themes and plugins that could exist doesn't. A lot of plugins and themes have been abandoned by their creators because they're walking a

If you're thinking he could create a premium marketplace that works as a Wordpress plugin, it's a terrible idea. He'd be proving the model for Wordpress, as soon as he started getting traction they could introduce their own official premium

They could. One workaround is to record the IP address a post came from (generally a good idea) and keep showing it to that IP, too. They can still ask a friend to look, but the goal here is not to be perfect but to make any kind of improve

This headline is unsupported. The link goes to a download page with no source code, vcs, or mention of an open source license. I think it would be better titled "released", in which case it's a dupe.

"Shares in the company were priced at $20 and opened on the Nasdaq stock exchange at $24.50. The stock ended the day at $31.89." Why is the headline never "OpenTable Underpriced Shares by 60% in IPO"? I mean, I know the answer, it's because
