   I don't even like dirty jokes. But to be honest, it seems fair to me that people prefer to hire people who share their sense of humor.

   If you look into those statistics, most assaults take place within relationships and are not even considered assaults by the assaulted women ( it is the interpretation of the people conducting the studies). Outside of the home men are actua

   All things being equal, working together with women puts you at risk (they might get accidentally offended, go ballistic and ruin your life), working with men much less so (harrassment claims much less likely). Conclusion: it is prerferrabl

   It seems difficult to make good money with affiliate marketing. Example Amazon books: say I earn 1$ per book sale - that is about the same as for 10 clicks on an adwords ad on my site. If 10 people have clicked on an Amazon link, I haven't

   A while ago I mused about a program that could also post questions on SO and implement a spec that way. I also like this thought of an algorithm failing publicly and anybody being able to jump in and fix it. I guess people have coded in Eth

   So can this automatically be distributed to multiple servers? Impressive.

   Ancient Egypt certainly was a culture with agriculture so citing mummy studies to debunk paleo diets does not make much sense. Also ommitting the studies about actual living hunter gatherer tribes does not lend the argument much credibility

   Also, is there a way to erase specific memory locations, and a guarantee that in the meantime that memory location has not been cached somewhere else?

    I dislike loggin in to sites that I have been referred to by other sites in general. Not sure if there is a solution for paypal? Like getting an transaction id from a shop, then logging on to PayPal and paying that transaction id? Might be

    I think he is romanticizing too much. From what I remember reading, women get impregnated inside the body so that males can not be sure who ended up being the father. This evolved because of a battle of the sexes. It is common in the animal

    Could the people without cash elaborate? I'd love to have no cash and no wallet, just a phone. I have cash for buying small things like a coffe - do you just pay with credit cards for those kind of things, too?

    Interesting that apparently the data generated by Reader was not valuable enough for Google. +1 are sufficient for Google to understand people's interests? Seems to me information junkies could have been an important source of information.

    What kind of clothes did he wear? Shopping for clothes is a major pita, so he must have always bought the same thing, readily available everywhere? Also, aren't new clothes full of all sorts of chemical? Better to have washed clothes... (Pe

    Granted, it's not just the advertising but what I felt was dishonest promises. Anyway, I have unflagged it since.

    I can understand your motivation, maybe I just take issue with the wording. There's nothing wrong with offering a free trial. I just wouldn't call it a give-away. Edit: unflagged... Your terms sound good anyway :-)

    Flagged as blatant advertising. 100€ is nothing, and I have to make the investment to work out how to use your cloud infrastructure. That investment (of time) is worth much more than 100€, so once the 100€ run out I will feel that I have in

    Hm, I already have a smartphone with Google Authenticator App and NFC, why would I want to carry a ring? Having recently married and struggling a lot with the ring issue (basically lots of money for a useless piece of metal), the idea of a

    I do, and I am still waiting for my personalized coffee machine - supposedly they had that at one of the early Java conferences (machine recognizes you by your ring and brews your preferred coffee for you).

    Pretty sure it is a good bet. Just my opinion. It's endorsed by the most important internet company, and people I know and respect told me they like it.

    I can only hope that this trend will go hand in hand with development of better wood burning stoves that pollute less.

    I'm sure it exists, or will come into existence. Why not? Challenges might be slower connection speed.
