Older people use spaces. Older people make more money because they are further along in their career. Thus it only appears spaces make more than tabs, when it's really about age. Just a guess.

Your original assertion was generic; that a janitor has as much impact on market cap as a CEO. So let's stick with that. Consider: the CEO of Ford decides Ford will no longer sell petrol based cars (getting the board to go along with

There's no shortage of vpn services. How would you get customers? Next to legal issues, that would be my primary concern.

Document everything. Get signatures for documents. Have a requirements change control process that is punative. Home builder have this part down. Make them agree to this upfront. Deliver and keep signed documents handy.

This isn't very useful information. I'm sure Chernobyl and Fukushima have released more radioactivity than every coal fired plant that has ever been or ever will be.

I always hated fiat currency, but I think I've come to grips with its necessity. The one thing a gold standard currency can't seem to do is control demand for it, thus its value can skyrocket. When you think of currency as a commo

Like just about all UI frameworks, it's up to you to build a framework on top of it. In your case a LOB type framework. I'm in the process of doing that very thing for Angular. By itself, Angular has features to help you do things

It will probably be identified by date the way many Apple products are. Mac Mini and MB Air and such. When you go to sell it 5 years from now, it will be the 2017 Surface Pro.

I think the numbering system goes away when the innovation ends. Meaning, the only thing changing in the future is slight hardware upgrades, like the MB Air or Mini which are identified by date.

Because 10% more powerful than the Pro 4 is a bad headline and realistically upgrades are going to come from SP3 users. I have an SP4 and this would be a very hard to sell upgrade to me.

Maybe not worse is better, but quantity over quality. PT Boats is new to me. I'll have to look up why those were as bad as the others.

Billingsgate island off Eastham Ma. That was pre fossil fuels and was really caused by erosion. My point of posting it is that the sea takes things for various reasons and land is not static either. Land can be sinking or rising for geologi

"Dramatic erosion and sinking land along the southeastern coast of Louisiana could lead to “the largest forced migration for environmental reasons in the history of the country,” a new report says." Not rising sea levels.

"Are you on the side of the terrorists and child pornographers?" That is how resistance will be framed and it could play just as well here, but I hope I'm wrong.

That's an odd version of history. It was the monarchs of France that helped the US during the revolutionary war. Then France had their own "revolution" and beheaded a lot of people. It was more Pol Pot than Thomas Jefferson.
