The best (and it really is the best) is to get the word about. Drive this "website" into the ground. The VC's will lose money. And maybe, just maybe in the future they'll think twice about investing in questionable compa

This "inventor" wouldn't be the first in line to place profits above people. Most VC's I know don't give two shits about the human elements. Yeah I know, it's sad.

These types of "agreements" are never intended to be heard in court. They're to scare the average user. Sort of like what patent trolls do (try) to victims who choose to fight. This is how low down this company is. At the lev

That's a lot of work to buy a pair of shoes. Not to mention, I never heard of Netspend (until now). And I spend most of my day on the net. You expect folks who don't to know? It shouldn't be this way. Buyer beware is one thin

"military service is compulsory for all men when they are 18 years old." Not correct. All men (and women) except those in a Yeshiva (religious school). As I understated it, they can post-pone their enlistment indefinitely. I also

I agree. Time to take a look at Yahoo and Firefox. Been years.

Major points for Cheng. But, look, most trolls don't want to fight it out. They want you to settle. Once word gets out that you will fight to the death, the trolls move on to the next easier target.

You know I was playing around with ASP Web Pages (Razor) and loved it. Too bad WebMatrix is Windows only.

QFT. It will stay on the enterprise market for years to come. In fact, that's where I see MS going. Sort of the path CA has taken with mid/main frames. MS has to come to the conclusion that it is not a consumer tend setter any longer. Consu

I like it. But (there's always a but) you badly need a short tutorial. A video would work too. Something to get started on. Also include a mailing list. I'd like to follow the development of this app (cause it would come in handy for me). B

Obviously his "PAC" has a PR problem. But a bigger problem is the way they are handling the immigration issue. They seem to be contracting ONLY HB1 Visas. And ignoring many other [immigration] issues that more Americans care about; like mig

This isn't the case in small business. It much more about personality in the smaller business world (I'm talking under 100 employees). And that can land you in the unemployment line too, of course. I work/part-owner in small firm were we ha

Yes. All drugs should be legal. What I do in my own house to my own body is my business. Not to mention, most of the violence caused by the illegal drug trade wouldn't exist. My point is, in America it's legal for me to smoke cigarettes, ca

The front-end guy also deals with the users more. And after spending 20+ years doing that, us older geeks are more than happy to moved to management or the back-end. Peace and quite.

There are other readers in Windows (besides Window's 8 built in metro (full-screen) reader). Ever hear of Foxit http://www.foxitsoftware.com/Secure_PDF_Reader/ ? Mush much faster than Adobe Arobat.

Actually there were PC's in the 70's. But they weren't cheap. I had a kit; a Heathkit I built with my grandfather. Much cheaper then the Apple's or other systems available then. And man did I learn a lot building that thing.

Yep. Most Americans have the attention span of a gnat. Plenty of us care, we just get distracted by other things. And that's the point really. The government wants us distracted. It's called Negative Liberty. Most who read that article wil

I never thought I'd ever say this; but I miss Geocities. And i miss WebRings. There were so many unusual sites out there. In the 90's the web was fun, artsy and mysterious. Now it's all MTV.
