I'm guessing not enough people used them to justify the added complexity - I certainly never used "Open Frame in New Tab". If it's something you absolutely have to have, there's always extensions.

The salary part might be true (I have no idea), but there are definitely not many entry level positions - most everyone as far as I've seen wants at least mid-level skillsets. And if you're not talking about just the bay area specifically,

Per the end of the article, you can't be sure it's gone forever: http://news.techworld.com/storage/3262210/ssd-drives-difficu... If you're wiping the entire drive and the firmware isn't buggy, you should be ok - but being sure that single

The LG Optimus [V/S/U] (LG 670) is a great phone for the price - it can be had in the US for $130 without a contract.

Past a certain point, I doubt they gave out any more invites via signups. I think everyone I knew who had an account got invited by an existing beta user. Kind of a shame they shut down - they had a good name to help distinguish themselves

I'd recommend spelling out "Seeing Interactive" rather than using the initalism when there's no context to know what you're talking about.

If that's so, what do you do if your ISP's DNS is terrible? Try to find a better one that's still geographically close?

I assume by "if I can script it" you mean strategy? Every single computer game can be scripted, and most have - including poker, complex MMOs, complex RTS games, etc. I doubt you'd find many people that'd agree that having a program play th

You're definitely not alone - "read your favorite (series of) book(s)" is an old trick.

I wonder if that number includes giveaways? I recall they gave away approx 100K phones to Microsoft employees alone.

Retaliatory feedback was a huge problem eBay faced. They "fixed" it by removing the ability of sellers to leave any type of feedback besides positive. It seems like an extremely difficult problem to tackle unless you're willing to intervene

A webapp is not a replacement for a desktop app. There are very legitimate reasons for wanting a desktop app, more for some types of apps than others.

NYC may be an anomaly - I've had some people not reply promptly (that's pretty much to be expected and their loss), but never yet seen an attempt to cut out AirBnB. My experience has been pretty uniformly positive.

"Restrictions breed creativity" is hardly a new concept, but one worth repeating.

Some people like to collect karma and will submit everything they possibly can. Opinions will probably differ on what percentage of blame belongs to the submitter versus the upvoters.

Unfortunately even if you install cygwin, you're still limited in what you can do - cygwin doesn't handle dynamic compilation very well (like using 'pip'), among other things. Lack of a usable command line is what pushed me to switching to

Paprika seems to be 100% tied to the iPad, which I don't like - I'd much rather have an iPad interface to something on the web.

I've gotten the impression it was pretty badly mismanaged by Yahoo after acquisition. Any failure is squarely on Yahoo's shoulders AFAIK.

The thing I found the worst about Chase is they require a number in your username . Not that the other restrictions aren't inane (6-12 char password, alphanumeric only, etc).

Anecdotally, I think at least a few universities have stopped accepting credit cards because of the fees associated with accepting them - the merchant fee on a $30K tuition payment is not trivial. I wouldn't doubt that when offered, most pe
