Until their is a "quantifiable measure" draconian legislation like SOPA and PIPA shouldn't even be on the table. Edit: creative accounting is fairly quantifiable, so why not "fix" that first?

Excuse my naivety but how exactly (excluding the handful of tech industry stock option scandals over the last 15 years or so)?

Amen to all of that! As far as loan institutions go and trying to create something that lets people invest in one another, the UK already has something along those lines: http://uk.zopa.com I think the idea is great and wish Zopa got more

Moved all 18 of my domains two years ago after deciding their high pressure check-out page had pissed me off one too many times. All my normal domains went to www.dyn.com and the few obscure country code ones I had went to www.eurodns.com.

I use www.dyn.com for all my domain and dns stuff and would recommend them in a heart beat. Note: they're not the cheapest though if that's something important to you.

Although I don't use it I have heard the symfony2 is one of the better MVC frameworks out there. The same people have also made quite a nice templating language called twig that you may also want to look at ( http://twig.sensiolabs.org/ ).

Sorry but that doesn't make any sense. Freshdesk operate in the same field and will naturally have some client overlap. If they spot an unhappy Zendesk user surely it is worth making them aware that there is an alternative that may prove to

I still spend time on there (especially when I've overdosed on HN startup scene stories) and have had an account since 2000ish. Providing you filter no lower than level 4, I find it's still as good as it has ever been.

Assuming your experience is not isolated, I find that very scary.

I don't know how everyone else does it but in my case: 1). You remember to take cash and if you forget, you always have your cards on you and an atm is usually no more than a few minutes away. You can also increasingly pay for these sorts o

In France, over 50% of the working population are fonctionnaires (civil servants), if the unions and labour laws weren't as inflexible as they are, this figure would be a lot less and the unemployment numbers would rise accordingly. You mig

They aren't. France has lost its triple A rating and Germany is dictating the terms at the moment

I'm sorry, I live in France and that simply isn't true. French labour laws and the accompanying tax system are the key causes behind France's huge problem with youth unemployment and a cripplingly bloated and inefficient public sector (goog

Some basic skeleton elements would definitely be useful - even better if the chapter showing how to use basic tools within photoshop made use of these bundled elements e.g. it showed how to take the button and then apply different effects e

Something that would be hugely useful to me (a code monkey who knows good design when he sees it but is incapable of producing anything that looks nice himself) is a chapter that covers a few essential skills in Photoshop or Fireworks. Basi

All sound advice but surely everyone knows this already?? I guess I'm missing the insightful part of this lead bullets mantra.

As tincholio says, I added the word true on purpose. When you use a real linux stack, things like this are possible: http://wiki.maemo.org/Easy_Debian http://temporaryland.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/openoffice-org...

It's not often that I get worked up over failed platforms but Nokia's botching of Maemo really makes me angry. The N9 shows they had a viable, potentially world beating platform. Not only have they thrown it under a bus but, with its passin
