People with money can do it if they want to. Other people have to try real hard. Want to have a nightclub lifestyle - become a bouncer/dancer. Want to live on private yatch - get a job on a somebody else's yatch(and imagine you are living y

I am in my early 30s. Do not have much in savings, have a job that takes up much of my time but won't really save me enough. I dô not know what my aim in life is. I have been thinking hard but I can't seem to pick one. I can rule out some,

So yahoo must be thinking of getting a bargain licensing deal for 2-3 years, with eventually aiming for yahoo-backed content(like netflix and arrested development and firefly) and hulu owners must be looking at cutting losses.

This may very well be true. But you shouldn't discount some points. 1. Yahoo will negotiate some kind of licensing agreement. 2. Yahoo will benefit from a known name and existing users.

Sorry, I misstated THE question. It should be whether regulation rocreative behavior of people is our business at all. That and the point about counseling stands. Not a native english speaker.

If yahoo makes it back to the top, it will be a coup of sorts. I might be rushing it a bit, but we need competition at the top!

Not a ceo, but buying hulu looks like a good idea if they have the cash. Better than rolling out a new one from scratch. I would say simple business decisions may make a good businessperson.

What is a bad gene today can as easily be a reason for the survival of a species as it can be a reason for the opposite. We may or may not be able to predict the effect of a gene on a population. But the question is not that. The question i

I agree. I hope the brand of eugenics of early 20th century never sees the light of day.

I will put in a word about medicine. Government run medical colleges are good because they have a lot of patients. Private medical colleges for the most part are in the business of selling seats to the highest bidder. Recently, the central

I did the no bribe thing once. I wanted a certificate and the officer wouldn't give me one. Went to the bmc office almost every week for 3 months. Gandhiji would have got me the certificate on the very first day.

True about politics. And there is a lot of corruption and politics of hate. We are stuck between a corrupt party who also play caste/religion and a party who plays the religion card and is equally corrupt. If you are born into a particular

This makes sense. By 'they', I meant governments. I always wondered why no mail/im providers support pgp or similar encryption. This means there never will be such a service, since the only master key would be with the end user.

What will you do if they make encryption illegal? A reason why there reportedly are backdoors in skype is because of government requirements. For eg. see this news article about India asking Skype to setup local servers in India http://art

All the best! Whatsapp doesn't do sms. Users who receive hike signed smses might eventually move on to hike. So eventually more users will mean less costs for hike. That sounds like a viable business model. The sms differentiator is good. A
