The minimalist in me would prefer 1 or 2 more iterations. Maybe without the strange dot off the 'd' and the superfluous flair on the 'F'.

I don't think you can be just one. The work I've done solving problems gives me a generalist view, but I'm constantly dabbling; keeping my ear to the ground as it were for some idea of what the options are. To that end a generalist has tang

I agree, but isn't half of journalism the catchy headline that raises your article above the noise and into the spotlight?

Which is much the same of what could be said for WinForms, MFC, and soon even Silverlight will be thrown under the bus or at least bolted on top of HTML5 to keep it alive.

No, it would be like tearing down the Empire State Building to build a new one. By volume this building is currently the second largest Manhattan building after the ESB. It also sits directly on top of a Fiber hub and excellent subway acces

The key is "Rest of your life" might be 5 years. You don't know. The next 5 years is every bit as important as the next 50. Looking back 50 years from now, regardless the outcome, will you be proud about what you're currently doing? It soun

I think there's another more obvious outcome. Unlimitted lending of digital content has a lower physical restriction barrier. A secondary marketplace could easily spring up matching people with licenses to those without.

It would actually look rather egotistical for him to come back. Even in Jobs case I think there's more a series of serendipitous events that rewarded intuition. Apple's success is a product of hard work and competitive complacency in the ma

At the same time that person could search a digital textbook to avoid wasteful hours of page flipping. I think there are cases where it makes more sense to charge more. I could take a larger course load if the difficulty of finding the info

I tend to believe that's already the case. If someone truly wants to write, the cost of taking up the activity is fairly cheap. People don't write just for money, they also write because they have something that wants to get out.

We still live in a physical universe. Information is physical. Those digital books take up digital storage space. Server farms have displaced distribution centers and book shelves with digital lockers. On the bright side it saves us from ho

Similar story. Grew up on a dairy farm. Our taxes stated our income as around $13K for a family of 5. Farm & equipment sold for 1.2 million (2001). Government got about $600K in taxes. Another $200K went towards existing loans. $120K to

I have it because one of the few sites (netflix) uses it to keep movies full screen on my secondary monitor. Flash will automatically kick back to the original window size whenever doing a user action on another monitor.

There's also something to be said for specifically targeting areas a candidate is not strong with to see how they handle their weakness. If you clam up, get defensive, or try to bullshit your way that's an automatic fail from my perspective
