The best-paid freelance programmer I ever knew was a man older than my dad who was the only guy left in the country that could code Cobol for certain kind of industrial equipment. For the companies that hired him it was cheaper than changin

How I remember those days! after the complete disaster that were the first PIIIs comes the Athlon. It was just so amazing, so unbelievable that you could get that much power without breaking the bank. And it was the same story until about 2

Its freedom in exchange for comfort: the casual user no longer has to worry about looking for software because there's a large corporation telling him what he can do and what he can't. For many freedom of choice is stressful, but receiving

Those are terrible news for me since we were considering moving to Toronto, and what you mention is exactly what I was afraid of. Now that nepotism sounds more like something that happens where I live, funny that there's the same cronyism o

Did you even read that article? the prohibition was the BAN of alcohol, they didn't limit the ads or forced companies to put warnings on the label, they BANNED all drinks and beverages containing alcohol meaning if they catched you with a b

I always wondered why alcohol didn't get the same restrictions that cigarettes got: sure you can still buy marlboros anywhere, they are not banned and the police wont throw you in a cell for carrying a pack, but ads for tobacco are seriousl

Personally I would have totally buyed the ouya 2 years ago when the average Android phone was still too weak to play anything more demanding than angry birds without choking on it. But today, miracast+N4+X360 controller and you have somet

Yeah, no: I live in Argentina and nobody, NOBODY here is going to get a FirefoxOS phone. The deal with emerging markets is that people here still cares about personal image which is the only reason why iPhones are still being sold despite b

I think the best way would be to come up with a way to port those templates to other CMS that doesn't involves rewriting the whole thing, or perhaps a wrapper?

Some cloud providers have auto-installers, its all paid though.

And the templates, some are simply STUNNING it makes you wonder why pro designers charge you so much for stuff that barely holds a candle to stuff you see on WP. Then you install the template and everything goes to shit, you have to read so

Indeed its a matter of basic education really: most people don't know about spammers or how well organized they are but the moment they learn about their tactics they catch on quick and stop falling for link bait blogs and comment spam. Bet

I haven't seen anyone that simply quits and leaves a startups because they didn't get into YC. Most just apply to TS, 500S, FF or try to contact angels on their own.

The animation is great, I would only change the music which is a little distracting at times. I get that you probably choose it to keep with the Parisian theme of the video, but at times it feels out of place in an app video.

Indeed, in any case things like leapmotion will make certain specialized accessories like 3D-mouses obsolete, but a regular mouse? that's going to be around for ages.

I still remember Groupon's offices being shown as an example to follow, and that was what, a year and a half ago? BTW I just wanted to add that despite all the talk about current Valve's efficiency with the old Valve there was only 5-6 year
