   "it's a cop out to tell people to stop enjoying the one aspect of life that gives them the most pleasure and call it financial advice" If the same people then don't end up complaining that they have no money left, fine.

   If you need unit tests, write unit tests. If you don't, don't. So in your case you would notice that for iteration 3 you need some unit tests. Then you can write them in iteration 3. You didn't need them in iteration 1, hence no need to wri

   Still, SEO exists as a concept and as a name for a group of activities. I am not sure what you find wrong with the sentence?

   One thing I noticed is that there doesn't seem to be such a thing for mobile browsers yet. Maybe a worthwhile problem to solve? No good idea how to go about it, though. Would emulations be sufficient? Or maybe attach some real phones to a s

   But seriously, it is not that hard to figure out? Do you really need a computer program to determine how much stuff you need? How did pre-computer generations ever manage, I guess they didn't? No offense - if a computer program would help s

   If I was Starbucks I would just rebrand the beans. For example, they could be called after a tribe who lives in the region, or after a mountain that the beans grow on, or whatever. It's not as if any of their customers are ever going to sea

    I just copied the CSV into the text editor. But I just realized how stupid I was. I wrote var nums = "3, 4, 9, 14, 15, 19, 28, 37, 47, 50, 54, 56, 59, 61, 70, 73, 78, 81, 92, 95, 97, 99".split(", "); for(var i = 0;i< nums.length;i++) {

    I still don't understand? Doesn't the Ehtopian government automatically have exclusivity on Ethopian beans?

    I am confused - how did the Trademark help raise the price of the beans? Had Starbucks been selling false beans before (non-Ethopian beans with an Ethopian label)?

    Isn't the main reason that Facebook is winning that they are really, really aggressive about making people invite their friends? MySpace also grew by getting access to people's Inbox and spamming their contacts, but FB might have taken it t

    Just think why some countries are good in football, and others are good in baseball. It does make a difference what kind of sports is the most visible and prestigious - talent really does focus on those sports.

    My first reaction was the same. However, I bet Apple tried to patent these things, too. So it would be sort of balancing justice - you want software patents, let them bite you...

    In Germany we can deduct all sorts of business expenses. It sounds like a sweet deal, but employees get 1000€ as "default business costs" automatically. Since programming does not require that many resources, I find it is not necessarily so

    Nothing against communicating via Facebook, if that is your thing. But it is definitely not childish to not communicate via Facebook. Boycott is too strong, perhaps, but if you simply see no use for it. Personally I am just old fashioned in

    We agree that genius !=> success, but I don't think success => genius holds, either. Not everybody who is successful is a genius. Unless we allow some inflation of the use of the word. Known genii (?) include Einstein, Shakespeare,

    Or it is just random chance. Out of 1 million people trying different things, a few are bound to be successful. At least for stock trading that is assumed to be true.

    I don't think you can derive the conclusion from that that if only the other ones had searched longer, they would also have found jobs. (Haven't read the report, just your comment). They might have had good reasons for assuming they would n

    Collecting bottles after midnight seems like a recepy for getting sick, if you are over 60. But you are of course right, he did mention jobs in his article. (donating blood really isn't a job, but collecting bottles might be OK).
