Congressional job approval rating has been hovering around 10% for quite some time. Worse than Nixon during Watergate. The powerful incumbents responsible for the clusterfuck will remain in power. The swing seats will continue to be passed

Securing them properly is pretty straightforward, but it takes time and skill. Time+Skill = money. Web hosting companies compete primarily on price because its the only thing that is easily compared. How does one measure a service provider'

I choked on my coffee when I saw the headline. Not the Scott Thompson from Kids in the Hall. Though that would be an inspired choice as well, and just as likely to save Yahoo.

I just read that as "His roommate also testified but was mostly useless." Unless this is 1995 and parents should be concerned their child is a "hacker" if they stay up late on the computer. If that's what the prosecution was getting at then

This won't work, but we should do it anyway. Just because someone is going to do it, doesn't mean that someone should be me or any of the people I am responsible for hiring. Unethical is unethical. I won't be responsible for it and I don'

"Obviously not enough" is my usual reply with a grin and wink. If they push I'll give them something like "Salary is one of many factors I consider. Once I know more about the position I will be able to provide a number." Moves the discussi

Last I checked their adCenter required Windows and threw up a complaint about nonstandards compliant browsers (like Chrome). They are completely lost.

"Infrastructure web services had to happen." Honest question, why? I'm glad they did it, and Amazon is pretty good at it, but I'm not sure why it was inevitable.

That's the Gobi desert. There isn't a whole lot of water to treat, let alone polluted water. It looks like salt production on a truly massive scale.

A well played scam. I bought a Coke this afternoon, so clearly the CocaCola company lends credibility to my plans for world domination.

Most first class mail isn't touched by human hands until the mail carrier puts it into your mailbox. I'm guessing that you could ship a machine-sortable as a parcel with tracking if you brought it to the post office, but not when it's being
