Recruiter repostings are completely irrelevant to the problems they are having. The article makes it as if that is the problem they are having, but their woes have nothing at all to do with recruiters. That recruiter that reposted "up to £4

Your salary is absurdly ridiculously pathetically low given the things you were asking for. It almost seems like a joke or onion article. That's obviously why you had a problem and all the rest of the insights you are having about this don'

You bring up a good counterpoint. But scientific fraud is extremely common, more than half of peer reviewed journal published research results are wrong, and many if not most professional scientists do research to support a corporate or pol

Just to be clear (please correct me if I am wrong), this is wrappers for the Cocoa API so you can write Cocoa apps in C#. It doesn't provide cross platform compatibility for apps since there's no UI framework compatibility.

That's a very interesting analysis. Apple is breaking even on the App store, and the idea is free apps cost a lot of money to host because of volume distribution costs (as opposed to sunk one-time costs for having the store at all). If we a

As the question is posed, it's not clear to me if the feature is in a product that customers are using, or if this is a feature that just didn't work out and never was in a distributed product. The two are quite different. Killing a feature

It looks like SpotColor has been withdrawn as a free app and is now $5 at the App Store as well. I recommend checking out iColors which I've been using for years and has the same functionality - http://www.fadingred.com/icolors/

This whole thing is ridiculous because it ruins the whole justification for baking pies on 3/14. Those of you that want to study the Dao De Jing on 6/28 are free to do so but please leave those of use that eat pies on 3/14 alone.

Hm, so with the example given, rather than pay cash to the elderly hobbyist farmer at the farmer's market for his tomatoes and apples, we can cut in some big financial conglomerate for a slice of the action. And this is being promoted by sa

In 1959 I am not sure it was really true that there were no known technical barriers. I appreciate though the optimism of von Braun (whose report this essentially was) that there were no such barriers. In 1959 they still had a number of thi
