Really only a problem for clients that don't intend to pay. I believe it is a very good thing to know if the client has grave worries about what you might do if he refuses to pay. An honest client won't even be thinking of that. There's a l

Hey Monsanto rep, how's it hanging? Glad you could create your new account an hour ago and post a single time using it.

I'm not admitting to any special skills whatsoever that's the whole point. Programming logic controllers is very simple. They are designed to be like Excel, something that non-programmers can program. The hard part of this operation was get

The last time I looked into the empirical evidence on this in primary school, the finding was that class size makes a big difference if there are 13 or fewer students in a class because the teacher can use a style where he spends individual

I don't understand how class size is being reduced with people going to computer labs with no teacher. Isn't the idea of class size that there is at least one teacher per N students? With these labs there are zero teachers per N students, w

Ah, I keep hearing from GPL advocates that anyone is "allowed" to sell GPL software. And then when someone does it, like in this article, there is a big fuss.

Many times when I hear the "programming is very easy" claim it comes from someone who is out of work: "Oh, he say programming hard? Not so! Programming very easy! I do this job for you cheap!"

I can answer about 1/3 of them and have been programming in Perl for 8 years now. Perl's not one of my primary languages though.

In case it was not clear, the part of my post following the word "also" only refers to reading pdfs on a desktop/laptop/pad computer screen. The reasons why, before the "also", I stated "I don't own an ereader and don't plan to get one." ar

That's a very good point. The download was a very effective marketing tool whether the musician wanted it to be or not. Really, the hardest thing in these creative industries is marketing, promoting your personal or band brand identity and

That's a pretty good suggestion. The 800 downloads won't go away. If she offers the book for download at her personal site, she can have a forum there for fans to talk and give feedback. That would give a better idea of the real interest in

Music works the same way. You use CDs to build up a fan base. It's a physical artifact they can keep and develop loyalty towards. When the fan base is big enough, you can make a living. Maybe. After 20 years of hard work. Being an artist th

Interesting article on "Agency Pricing". So all the big players in the industry come together, make a pricing compact that no one can break, and as a side effect lock out all the smaller players. How is this not price fixing and collusion?

The point he was making with a 4 hr programming test is that it is a complete waste of time. It doesn't take a 4 hr test to separate the wheat from the chaff unless the interviewer knows nothing at all.

So the article says the shortage is of "highly trained" workers only. And a big problem is you can't lure them away since their current employer might give them a counter offer, and there's apparently no way to deal with that, it's the end

I have to call out the whole referenced article as BS. The situation is that Rene filed the complaint, and after Apple complied with Rene's request, Rene then blogged that Apple was being mean by removing the app, as he had requested. Sorry
