These are all nice, but the prices of them are, frankly, ridiculous. "This green, sustainable house starts at JUST nearly a million dollars." Are you freakin' kidding me? Let me know when you can start cranking these babies out in five figu

And even faster if it's a good day and I really get into it. I tend to read a sentence or paragraph at a time.

Right now, I am chewing through The God Delusion. I both read and buy a lot of books. Infact, most of my funny money goes on books, as I go through them fast. I have a reading speed of around 6 ppm for fiction and 3-4ppm for non-fiction. $1

Arrogant much?

I have. They generally just forward the complaint on to you and tell you to deal with it. Unless lawyering gets involved, they don't give two hoots.

That's just a placeholder, until I get off my tuchas.

Would guessing still be needed if I said it was a non-subscription website? :P

I run a.. shall we say, niche site. 9 million hits a month, about 2TB of data.. and we use Hetzner. They're pretty good. http://www.hetzner.de/

And what if your internet goes down? What if you lose your job and can't afford your internet connection? All of a sudden you lose access to that library of music. Let alone if the service itself goes down.

But right there, you had the catch. (online) Now, if it was 10c and I could put it on my iPod, or use winamp or something, they'd have something.

Also, am I the only one worried about the whole "Gives you a web copy of music on your hard drive" deal? This seems like a great way to get data on possible infringers. "Well, this user has a 50gb library of mp3s. No way that's legal. Lets

Yes, but then you can only listen to it on the web. Not on your iPod or if your internet goes down or.. the list goes on.

Just like with digitally purchased television, the price point is too high. It needs to be priced so that people don't even have to THINK about clicking the buy button, before they do it. Especially when it comes to entire albums. The less

One word: Spam You can't rely on things like captcha's, not anymore. But requiring an email address is at least a small difficulty. And if you get a whole bunch of signups from a single domain in a short period (And it's not, say, gmail) yo

Yes, but this is surely the kind of thing that you resolve in an interview. Maybe this person could be quite happy in this position. Maybe they're looking to broaden their horizons. You just don't know.

"7. Apply for a job for which you are clearly overqualified for (I got one resume from a software engineer)." This is something that I hate. I know many people who are in this situation. They're highly qualified, but due to too many people

I used to use LiveJournal, as did a number of people that I know and whilst it was never perfect, we all agree that it experienced a significant decline once it was bought by SixApart.

Wrong. No regulation OR good regulation is bad for them. They benefit from PARTIAL regulation. And regulation, much like circumcision, is as Robin Williams said. "You go all the way, or just forget it!"

OPEC. They cut production if the price falls too much.

I search for something and get a wikipedia page, a website for a book and the FDA's website above the results which actually interest me. Infact, they are in a larger font than the rest. Are these sponsored links or something? I'm not sure

I don't have that psychological 'disgust' response. Infact, I can't understand why drugs aren't used for more things. Safer steroids for athletes. Smart drugs for college students. And so on. I mean, sure, they might have bad long-term effe
