You know what disgusts me ? Your complete blindness to how good your father had it. As a not-so-recent immigrant to the US, I've found it laughably easy to have a good life here. I am not talking about myself since I came at 25 and spoke

I agree Jose, Boudica community seems to cater to the lowest common denominator. I posted the link not because I like it but because it is precisely what the poster asked, a Digg for girls.

If you want to talk about events that have a profound effect on stocks, it would be tremendously useful to add trading volume high/lows to your charts. I don't mean trading volume in general but rather exceptional events, like a hedge fund

Love the UI but feel a little ambiguous about the basic principle behind it. Would love to hear others' opinions about it though... I could be wrong on this one. As I understand, you basically attempt to correlate stock movement with two ma

One of GM's largest problems is the unions. Going through bankruptcy would provide them with a much needed chance to re-negotiate the labor contracts. I vote for bankruptcy all the way.

I am in a similar situation right now, and one of the things that we came up with is an upfront payment with additional dollars down the road pegged to revenue growth. To clarify, I am not suggesting lowering your sell price but rather gett

I would say that if your plan is to provide SaaS, don't worry about it until you hit profitability. At that point, if you must have a US entity, I recommend looking into Vermont virtual corporations/LLCs. For consulting, you could look into

That's a very reasonable assumption but you don't know that. A more realistic scenario is that your new, pared down resume lost major points as far as making it through the headhunters' and HR's dumb keyword filtering software, lost minor

If you mean name, gender and location, then yes, those are less likely to be falsified. Everything else - everything that actually matters such as job titles, job descriptions, recommendations - is just as unreliable. I personally know many

37 guys write great fiction but let's look at reality. Their pricing is cost prohibitive for truly small teams. If I were to use them as a "productivity suite" for, say, a one-two person team (the lowest possible pricing combo) it would set
