Actually, I thought the article pretty clearly stated the opposite of your last point. One, the women were far from litigious (depends on your definition of course but to me taking a year and using everything from humor to begging in an att

Actually, a couple years ago PDF got ISO-approved as an open standard format so PDF=Adobe is no longer true. (I believe MS tried to muscle in on the PDF market with their own standard so Adobe was kind of forced into acting quick). They mig

Quite different: Wufoo makes html forms, Doculicious makes PDFs. A lot of applications (government-type orgs, class-action lawsuits, etc) require PDFs and signed paper forms.

Now that's just plain rude. What makes you say that I made up my story? If you feel that your position is strong, why do you need to attack me personally? Talk about quality of the argument...

Nothing is as dangerous as half truths so let's look at what really happened as far your example of female leadership in Muslim countries. Yes, at first glance 3 of the 4 countries in your example (Indonesia, Pakistan and Bangladesh) have "

Ugh. Proponents of status quo always invoke tradition and use some attractively pastoral but highly marginal examples to paint a white-washed picture that's quite far from reality. In reality, it's not about the clothes. Muslim men base for

I've experienced a bit of muslim culture first-hand and it's not even close to the cutesy image you get from this article. The author sees herself as a culturally sensitive critical thinker ("before you think I drank the koolaid...") but sh

Second above, plus - you are a web developer coding in RoR, you've studied comp sci, you went to a prestigious college and have numerous connections to venture capital, yet you are looking for a more solid CTO? Something just doesn't compu

Am I the only one who's read the original issue as not the problem with extracurricular activities per say, but the fact that the employee now wants to sell one of those apps? The employer said: One of my employees is always working in sma

I once had a startup which was basically an online database of professional actor and model videos. My all time favorite put-down came when we first got into model videos. We did some test shoots for a couple established agencies (Elite, Q

Oh, it's more than a weekend :) It's low on the usual puffery so don't skim or you'll miss awesome gems like the 2006 Human Security Project report about 40% decline(!) in armed conflict in the last decade.

There is an interesting proposal out there related to organ donation which could be adopted for this type of situation. The proposal is to separate people into two groups: those who agree to donate their organs, and those who decline. Later

It really is fascinating how people's likes and dislikes color their perception. We look at the same video and you see screaming while I see a regular townhall meeting-type Q&A. I am not being argumentative here, I just really fail to s

I've visited SCORE in New York a few years ago... didn't find them too useful. They did not offer much beyond vague common sense advice, even on those issues where they could have easily been more prepared and specific (incorporating vs. LL
