Economic Sciences deserve to take over the whole Nobel prize. They should get all the prizes. They have proven themselves as the ultimate woodo wizards of "applied" scientists. If you go to source page, you will see that the full

What is so disheartening about so many of my facebook contacts sharing this? That it is a simple manifestation of the power of herd mentality. You are talking about mature adults with not just children and property, but with degrees of high

After some terrible early experiences with gold diggers, I am now very happy to be with a woman that despises any and all status symbols, and instead of buying them invested some money in gold and silver bullion early on, as part of a diver

when you search in French from Canada, do you get results from France as well?

!!!! Exactly! if you don't employ a sufficient numbers of native speakers for these languages, you will never get sufficient results. All other employees can't help you out. Translation software is useless, if you don't know how to weight t

Think about bittorrent. They are making money. Check it out http://www.bittorrent.com/ Just because you are decentralized does not mean you cannot control the tunnel! And if you change the word, there will be lots of job offers. Think ab

Meditate. Be passionate. Think for yourself. Read fundamental books. By fundamental I mean "important", not "full of religious bigotry". I got a lot of ideas from Frank Herbert's "Dune", for example. Do things. I mean dont just use your liz
