Yeah, I think it's just your barber. I go to a barbershop, and they have a point of sale system, and a receptionist to grab everyone coming in. I've also been to another barbershop where it's as described: 3 barbers, they have to remember t

That was a bit shady if you're buying stock, but I've never had any trouble buying a groupon, getting a groupon redeemed, or getting one refunded. Overall I think Groupon is pretty legit for its customers, and businesses actually get paid (

First off, do you need an app or just a website? I can tell you that most of the stuff you're questioning about already exists as separate forums, and you'd really have to demonstrate value to have it in one place. There's already a rate a

My megacorp uses Saba ( http://www.saba.com/ ) for in-house training. It's dependent on Flash, but what corporate image doesn't have Flash? I'm not sure how it compares to Coursera, but you can have required training (ethics, compliance, et

I agree on starting a company while in school. Your schedule is crazy in college, but I'm fairly certain most students have more free time in school than they have when they work. At school, you can create connections and meet people that c

You're more familiar with your data, but the last word doesn't need to be a hard and fast rule. The last word there looks like a product code. However, the first word looks like a brand. If this is more of an exception, I'm sure you can gen

I agree with oz about the importance of structure and tinkering. VMs are also going to be your bread and butter for learning most things. You can set up clusters very easily with just a couple of VMs. MSDN subscriptions will let you set up

I believe in the same book, the author explains black pearls. They were previously trinkets--very cheap. It wasn't until they were put in a high end jewelry store in New York that they were suddenly desired, and commanded a price premium.
