Wow, this coupled with Word Lens make an incredible pair. With all these language barrier breakers of recent, I wonder when the equivalent of Adams' Babel fish will become a reality? Surely it is right around the corner! ;-)

I think most HR departments are afraid to add those types of benefits that can be blatantly abused when they can go with the default "no-frills" and with default "abuses" for which we all know you can be measured. Didn't show up to the offi

I expected some light banter on the fact that there are sooooo many deprecated functions in the API that it is sometimes a little dizzying keeping the stuff straight. Instead, I came away with nothing. Besides, Wordpress is the most popular

I think the effect is the result of fixating on the fact that there was a faster line, not that there are slower lines.

To their credit, they never said the place with an AC vent was heavily monitored. And the parachute on the roof was at a Vianese Castle (a rather hefty palace of a castle at that). Also, the fake probably didn't weigh exactly the same, but

Isn't it possible to require the "scarcer" or most off-priced resource to be the first resource to be acquired? Only then would you purchase the opposite, more common resource. Is that feasible? (Pardon my ignorance if not...)

Sure, I'd imagine so. However, just waltzing in and not visiting the counter for exchanging cash for chips might seem odd. Easily taken care of by bank rolling your trips with some real money and "peppering" in your stolen chips.

I absolutely agree with you, I can imagine the time I'd spend digging around on my own little VPS after a break-in... I really meant "How insane are the rules for sentencing based on arbitrary $$$ values."

Interesting excerpt: "They may decide to, for insurance purposes, blame some huge downtime expense on you. I can hear it now, "When we detected the intruder, we promptly took our system off-line. It took us two weeks to bring it up again fo

If you'd like someone to do the voice over with a studio quality setup, drop me a line. I have all the equipment, have done a few voice overs in my time and above all, I'd love to help. I can probably knock it out in a short amount of time.

My uneducated guess: they see more stats that show most business owners aren't too keen on the service, especially AFTER they give it a chance. Even services with a seemingly big trajectory can fail due to these sorts of a customer retentio

If these are indeed true accesses (and not just phishing attempts), I would take a very careful look for malware on your computer. There is no way they are brute-forcing passwords like "j@zz!t7p=()++" (and Gmail would have long blocked thei

How interesting, I was just reading some articles [1] [2] about learning to think like a programmer and program. Both mention how beneficial it is for journalists to code and think like a coder. While they mainly talk about saving time with
