I'm still amazed at the high level of tolerance (up to the point of worship) people give to certain hyped/trendy companies (Google, Apple, etc) versus others that get bashed or even attacked en masse (a recent example would be GoDaddy, Micr

Astounding indeed. But, sorry to say, I personally also find them scary, considering the recession/crisis period we're in...

You are giving them a cut partly because your application will contain parts of their source code. I think it's not a good/exact comparison. I think the ownership is about the output format, not the contents itself, so it could be better co

I was wondering if it takes the "No, this place is ..." clicks into account at some point? That would be a way to refine the database without much effort.

Uhm, for some reason it didn't even cross my mind such possibility. Instantly thought it was someone quitting GMaps for some other tool, and that's what it was. Afterwards I did ponder why it was showing google.com domain, and yes, I can un

Interesting. I always thought I'm quite the child (although I can act mature when needed). I never thought of it as a permanent thing, though. And I don't live in the past and I think partly is because of this childish point of view to life

Funny. However, it's a sad reality that a lot of people lie on their interviews. HR processes sometimes fail to catch these and well... Here we have it.

7/9... I thought I'd score worse, since they say women have trouble with spatial problems. A pity the test didn't say which ones I failed, though.

It's just much easier to have someone specific to blame than just concepts (like hunger, poverty, war, etc). Specifically when these concepts tend to be far away from developed countries. Much easier to feel a direct threat if your enemy ha

The Subversion re-education bit is great to understand the differences between Mercurial and SVN, thanks for the link :)

Furthermore, they have people programming. This is the biggest security hole and every company suffers/will suffer from it.

But sometimes you want the right kind of attention. People who look at your content, not the wrapping around it.

It's actually a pretty cute game, and addicting if you're into sim games. Micropayments for games are nothing new, though, and thankfully optional (although always tempting). You can snap out of the addiction though, if you stop for a minut

They only donate if you upgrade from IE6 to IE8 (or so said the site). People who are still using IE6 probably don't even know what's Firefox or Chrome (I know plenty of people that fits in here). I don't think it's about the marketshare, t

We might be rising into positions of power, but how many years did we spend without being able to vote or to even being allowed into universities, etc? In certain cultures or countries women have been always well considered, but in others i

Personally, I believe that it has to do with the role of women in the current society, not exactly with the race. I don't live in America, but I think the trend is present in most western countries anyway. We're jumping from the "dependant

That's like, totally irrelevant to what the article is about. The author points out the fact that it's strange that the marriage rate was higher during slavery than in present times. It's just an observation, not a whine. The article overal

Well, if you put it like that it sure sounds awful. Why do you assume they will die? I sincerely doubt they'd send anyone to their deaths nor that anyone would accept it, that would be absurd (tho accidents can happen). Consider the amount

The CEO username and password work for me. I've checked the obvious stuff and they have that covered, so it won't be an easy $10,000. But I'm sure no system is 100% infallible :)

Hehe, that same graphic is the reason why I find the touch phones annoying. Small keyboards, hard to press for people with long nails like me (I'm a girl, in case you're wondering :P). I prefer stylus. That doesn't mean there aren't instanc
