Maybe it is hyperbolic; it's probably obvious that the OP has me pretty agitated. I won't go into detail unless it's requested, but choosing the wrong corporate form cost my business a multiple of the $9K sum the OP mentions in taxes and le

I'm cringing in anticipation of the downvoting, but I can't help myself here: this is TERRIBLE advice. Absolutely egregiously awful. The consultation of a good (that qualifier is important) attorney is worth every single penny. He/she wil

What an a-wipe. I wish I was an attorney so I could offer Matthew my services pro bono. But IANAL, I'm a hacker, so I guess I'll just launch a DDoS attack. (I'm kidding. I write in PHP so I barely know how to turn on a computer; DDoS is wa

Yeah, good point, hadn't thought about that. But would that be different from now where you have to move your eyes from the text area to some point in the lower half of the touchscreen? There's an app that features a similar keyboard, htt

The one thing that really jumped out at me was that "thumbs" keyboard. I would LOVE to have that option on the iPad. The rest of it looks cool enough, better than expected. For me personally I can't imagine going back to any version of Wi

I don't see that anyone is discarding or fading the role of the Russian military, but without General Winter (a coin termed by the Russians) the outcome would have been different. There's an excellent book I bought at a library sale a coupl

I've observed a principle that militaries build to win the last total war they fought. This is why guys like Billy Mitchell ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Mitchell ) were ignored about the importance of air power leading up to WWII.

Competition is a _very_ good thing because it means there is a market for what you're selling. Sure, you might have come up with the one great idea that nobody has thought of, but probably not. If nobody is doing it, there just may be a re

They're classifying cell phone use as a "Group 2B" carcinogen, which means it's "possibly" carcinogenic. The most famous residents of Group 2B carcinogens are DDT, lead, and nickel. Pickled veggies from Asia are also included. Beware the

I like the style of music outlined in TFA, but my top 5 coding albums have a bit more of an edge to 'em. Reign in Blood, Slayer Rust in Peace, Megadeth Vulgar Display of Power, Pantera Battle of Los Angeles, Rage Kill 'Em All - Metallica

Wait a second. This article pivots on a fulcrum of crap. I've read hundreds of articles that mistake correlation with causation, but never one so brazen as to straight up interchange the words: "[Commuting] correlates with an increased ri

I figure a quick and dirty explanation of basic flight systems might not be unwelcome. In most aircraft and certainly in jets, you have six primary instruments: airspeed indicator, attitude indicator (artificial horizon), altimeter, turn in

Yeah, Google was a bad example. IBM maybe? I can't think of a big company that I know for sure requires specific degrees from specific institutions.

I think that depends on what you want your career to be. If you're looking to work for startup and/or small firms, it's probably not going to matter. You've got a gig right now, they're going to care about what you did and learned at that

I've always wanted to mount a big electromagnet in my doorframe like in Cryptonomicon. The main reason I haven't is that there is a 100% chance I'd forget to deactivate it and fry my own hardware. Probably within a week of installing the m

It _should_ requires a license if the stall speed is that high; my Cessna stalls at around 77 km/h, seven more than this thing and it was very challenging at first, especially in gusting crosswinds. I also wonder what the stall characterist
