Never heard of Barret Brown prior to this, but I found a very interesting article on him here: http://www.dmagazine.com/Home/D_Magazine/2011/April/How_Barr... .

First off, we're not spamming the search engines. Spam, by definition, is unsolicited and is sent by someone who has little concern for who receives it. The websites will all be highly-optimized, and optimized in such a way that they are pu

The reason I brought up the "stripping them of their creativity" point is because I have an aversion to the belief that you must pigeon-hole yourself into a job that is not fun just because you need to make ends meet. Pretty much everyone a

Before reading the dox info from "The A-Team" on Lulzsec, and now Lulzsec on "The A-Team," it seems that within this particular group of people there's a rather large transgender population. Anyone else find this interesting?

While I understand what you're saying, I think the professional setting in which that material is being passed around warrants a discussion on whether or not it should be passed around at all. I might be making a mountain out of a molehill,

To those who actually downloaded the torrent: Did any of you happen to watch the 4-second-long video clip of what appears to be 4 men being gunned down by helicopter? Any theories on why it's there?

Thanks for commenting, patio11. Appreciate it! Without trying to sound like an arrogant blow-hard, I would say I'm one of the most vital employees in the company bar none. As the months pass by, I continue to take on more & more respons

I know there's not some algorithm to determining my salary, but is there a rule of thumb for figuring it out. Would an average of 1 & 2 result in a good valuation? I can figure out the value of my contribution almost to a T with some th

Spammers will always win. If it is made by the hands of a human, it is pretty much common sense that it has aspects that can be exploited. But, that's not to say the amount of spam can't be minimized. I can't say for sure, but it doesn't lo

Re: "Facebook would be better if it were to target people in a specific location geographically." Wouldn't that be the case for all small businesses? It's almost instinctual for people to want to share things that have played a part -- larg
