Does anyone else find the post incredibly disrespectful? So to merely have a chance at $12/hour one should include a customized video and pay a professional editor to go over the cover letter (presumably one of many since we are also inst

Completely agree with you, tjic, war is never the answer. I was simply making a point in response to the previous post and this was the first example that popped in my mind.

Just like Abraham Lincoln! Don't you hate it how he got into that whole American Civil War when slavery was going to be abolished anyway? I mean, it was historically inevitable, so what was the point. Ugh.

So I take it everyone here supports the view that single mothers are shameful. Wow.

To save everyone time reading complete garbage, allow me to provide one representative quote from the article: The shame attached to unwed motherhood did serve a useful purpose once upon a time. /sigh/

Unlike most commenters, I would like to offer some words of support to Brian. Much like rape victims used to be judged on everything from their dress style to being out late after dark, you are being judged on everything from your writing s

Hey, whatever happened to DNFTT? "Profanity Works" is a perfect example of trolling (controversial and irrelevant message in an online community, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response or disrupting normal o

I mistrust Yelp because they scrape reviews from other websites. I have found a couple of reviews that I posted elsewhere under fake user names on Yelp.

I can't help but post a joke here: A new convict arrives at a Gulag labor camp. Everyone gathers around the new man. - What's your sentence? - Twenty years. - What for? - Nothing, I am innocent! - Bullsh-t. Innocent people get five.

What about allowing users to submit "related links" that will appear at the top once a certain submission threshold has been reached? It would give your active commenters a way to separate "good" dupes from "bad" dupes while at the same tim

You could say the same thing about black hackers. Show me a black hacker who built a google/facebook/lisp/reddit/wikipedia. The real truth is, in this year 2008, intellectually forward white males (i.e. the hacker community) have graduated

If only it were true. Yes, biologically speaking, women have an "expiration" date. However, no less biologically speaking, men need women to mate with, and therein lies a problem. If you cannot find a woman to mate with, your ability to hav

The title is misleading. The author clearly states that he got started as a programmer at 31, not 60.

The screen on Kindle is nothing like a computer screen, XO or otherwise. To make images, it arranges colored particles using an applied electric field. To illustrate just one implication, it does not have any backlighting whatsoever, whic

I actually think it's great news to have e-books available for the iPhone. It may not be cutting edge technology-wise, but convenience-wise, it's smart to use the iTunes app store as a distribution channel for e-books and to use Apple's pay

I grew up in daycare, and I am not sure why anyone would call taking a kid to play with other kids all day "dumping children with strangers". It's plain fun, and obviously after day one, the strangers are longer strangers. Implying that on

If you quit your job for 3-6 years, you lose a large part of what it takes to make money: if you are technical, you lose skills, if you are in sales, you lose contacts, etc. The truth of the matter is, in Slovakia (as well as most other pla

For my last party invite, I tried using facebook but a lot of people balked at it. Pretty sure the reason was that it forces you to think that you need to sign up/log in and people just want to have an easy access to event time/address, and

All I know is, where I grew up, girls usually scored higher than boys on math tests, and of course that was also attributed to physical/gender differences... girls having a "natural" interest in studying and boys having a "natural" interest

I've heard nothing but negative experiences from those who outsourced to India, or anywhere remote for that matter. Could it be that the author is so gun-ho about it because he has a consulting outfit in New Delhi?

Every single study on couples that choose not to have children confirms that they tend to be well-educated and well-off. If you pick a group that's better off than most in every important category (money, social rank, health, etc), you woul

Nothing but a sensationalist article based on bad science. If I may paraphrase the findings in simple terms: out of a narrow sample of 200 college-aged males, some guys were rated as slightly more obnoxious than average... those same guys s

I sincerely hope this site doesn't turn into yet another online ghetto full of porn and cliches. Porn links are not news. "20 top anything" is stupid. Let's not feed into the lowest common denominator... not by voting, and especially not

My father headed a mineralogy lab that specialized in diamonds back in Russia. Naturally, when all these stories about synthetic diamonds started coming out, I got very excited. My father on the other hand was, and still is, quite sceptical
