I've seen several long-term UK contracts for £800 a day. Especially for someone with a niche technology, but also rarely for generalists. That's a rate as advertised by recruiters, so try and get another 12.5% on top if you could go direct.

The difference is that keys and passwords are managed in a more careful way (think encrypted key stores), whereas URLs are not handled with the same care. Apart from that, I agree with you.

The biggest problem is deployment. It's fine if you are happy with web start, but if not then creating an .exe isn't trivial. One of the biggest issues relates the the JVM. Are you going to assume that your users have a particular JVM insta

The problem with your implied argument (that competitors that aren't part of the collusion will make the collusion irrelevant) is that there are often significant barriers to entry in many markets that favour encumbents.

The thing that struck me was the level of passion that the users who wanted the feature had. Also the range of argument quality: "i think ya'll should be able to have your thing mothafucka" vs "Lengthening the context menu? Finally a REASON

Our current best theory of gravity is Einstein's General Relativity. The model in this theory is that mass (and energy) curves spacetime. A body that doesn't have a force applied to it follows a straight line, but in curved spacetime, a str
