Can anyone get profit/revenue to valuation ratios on pre-IPO Google so that we can do some more rational comparing?

Sociopathy and narcissism are overrepresented amongst executives. Smart people (as meant in the post) usually like to discover (scientists) or create (engineers, writers, etc.) things. They don't have to achieve power for power's sake in or

Silly, how could they possibly find time to learn HTTP when they have to keep up with at least three blogs of mountebank victory bloggers in addition to learning the latest Drupal plugin?

Varnish is great, and it's something I'd recommend to many people in many cases, but most people don't have their caching headers set granularly enough to not get caught off-guard by unexpectedly stale content at some point. Gotta be carefu

I think this comment has explained a lot about why people don't mind Sebastian here. It seems that his friendliness covers for the tasteless egotism and arrogance. (The tastelessness of his blog alone is something I could make a 5-page long

His words are self-obsessed and shallow. I am expressing my thoughts in the hope that those words don't fairly describe his character. Maybe I can make him aware of his behavior before he starts buying into his own bullshit even more. >

You're missing the point. Both you and Sebastian are tragically self-centered. You shouldn't even be entertaining the thoughts you're having, if you had an ounce of decency. Friends treat each other as equals even when they aren't. This is
