Is there not already "CryptoCracker" website? Where, for a fee, you can submit a cracking task to a cluster and have it send you the results when it's done? Price is set according to a matrix: crackable items down the rows and turnaround

Seems like there is a contradiction. What set of font sizes meet the two constraints (3-4 different font sizes and size them according to the Fibonacci sequence / Golden Ratio) and look great on a web page?

The guy is not skeptical, he's just talking his book, as they say. I.e., he has a conflicted interest. See the comment thread to the article.

Got an interesting reply and links from guest TechCrunch writer connected with UC-Berkeley, Harvard, and Duke: http://www.siliconbeat.com/2010/01/05/the-innovation-age-bia... . Bottom line was: "You have explained why."

That's a silly, misleading, and self-serving statement Leone made. The reason guys like him target 20-somethings is the same reason con artists target the elderly. They are vulnerable. In the case of 20-somethings, they're vulnerable becau

You have point, but it's a good first effort. It would be nice to see a short summary and recommendations at the top, with more info on separate pages or down below. Could even move this kind of thing over to a wiki (or maybe such a wiki

Wow, that's one of those emails that he should have put in a drawer for a day and then torn up without ever sending it.

Could be wrong, but I think the question was "what interview questions?" The interview is, for argument's sake, the second screen (the first one being the review of the cover letter/email and resume/cv or whatever). The third screen might

Beside junk mail and expensive PPC ads, magazine covers and headlines can be great sources of inspiration, depending on what demographic you're targeting.

Glad to see companies finally getting onboard with this kind of pricing model and system, which has been around for years (econ 101).

This picture (Powell waving a vial of white powder on the floor of the U.N.) says it all (for me): http://twitpic.com/r12s0 . He let himself be bullied. He failed to stand up for himself (and us) when we needed him most.

1) Thank you. 2) I'm not sure what "this" you're referring to, but we'll let it go. Regarding credit card dispute resolution process, I'm not following you on that either, but we'll let that go too. Regarding this MindJet incident, as of

You are entitled to your opinion, Ryan, of course, and I thank you for sharing it. However, if you don't see how someone making a public stand against a company with questionable business practices might do anything, such as possibly m

Good question, and yes, I should have just done a free trial. Reason I didn't is because, based on the info on their site, I was "sure" I was going to buy and keep the software. It had -- or I thought it had -- some key differentiating fe

You raise a good point: Why not just take care of myself and move on and not care about anyone else, or if I care why raise a finger or expend an ounce of energy when it can't benefit me and could actually hurt me? If other people get ripp

Wow robotrout, your thought process says a lot about your outlook on life and people, which says a lot about you. Could it be that I wanted to evaluate all of the mind mapping products on the market before deciding which one to go with? Is

Speaking of scams and scam companies, I’m dealing with a company named MindJet, which makes a mind mapping program called MindManager, which I wanted to test against the open-source programs. BTW, the open-source programs are better, as on
