is this really that strange for a company this size to consider PR aspects of official email from C-level execs when it will surely leak?

interesting logic, but honestly just doesnt seem very prudent [not saying that you are defending them]. doing something out of emotion, while old school isnt a reason on its own. and for the freemium model, it just doesnt make a ton of se

If you are passive, people dont know you unless you do something. If you are active in seeking out interesting people, then you can be somebody who "knows people."

Parking a domain makes somebody a bad person? How is this any different than a speculator buying undeveloped parcels of land and waiting for a developer to come along and buy them for more money? Are they bad people, too? It is annoying w

There are many many many more time where "doing what you love" is incorrect than times where following math is incorrect. The more we focus on math and mathematical relationships between different variables, the more accurate we get. Do no

I am a new dropbox user, so forgive me if this can be done a better way, but there are times where I want to upload something to dropbox from a computer that is not my own. This would be great for that

I dont mean it 100% literally and dont really write my posts to be semantically perfect and IANAL, so I hope they arent interpreted to be anything more than they are. The hard part is defining "on US soil," because with the internet compan

This isnt entirely true. In the case of megaupload, I am pretty sure I read they had servers seized in the Netherlands and most [all?] of the arrests were done in foreign countries. Further, I know it was definitely not the case with the o

this is a very simplistic way to look at the rent vs buy, although its more thorough than most. using a mortgage calculator and amoritization table it seems that after 10 years of paying 1200/mo you would have about 45k in equity (+ your d
