I should add, I like the site and the concept, but it'd be interesting to be able to apply some weight or scale to the opinions. Perhaps I don't think healthcare should be universal but I would never vote for someone who would ban same sex

I'd like to see sources for the candidate's opinions. For example, I don't think Romney denies that global warming is real. http://cleantechnica.com/2012/09/07/romney-admits-global-war...

I think Google might be in the better position. Not only can they see what people search for, they have access to more emails than anyone else. Anyone who gets an email from facebook that includes the text of a facebook post or message coul

I think being able to code things like Excel macros would be beneficial in a lot of typical office positions. Also, a lot of uni's offer MIS and similar degrees. They are a business degree with a few technical classes designed to output tec

I'm curious how much revenue Android phones have taken away from Apple. Considering how much more Apple makes per phone, if even half the Android phones out there were iPhones, that's a massive potential loss for Apple.

I couldn't tell you for sure but considering the sections on color theory and layouts, it would seem to be a lot harder to digest the book using a grey-scale screen that reformats the pages. (if that's what the Kindle does, I don't actually

From the FAQ: Why don't I see down arrows? There are no down arrows on submissions. They only appear on comments after users reach a certain karma threshold. I believe it's around 500 points.

In fact, he's updated his post to reflect this kind of comment: " Updated: to quell the comments, I did not choose the title to imply downloading tracking software is hacking, I am a hacker by profession and have been all my life."

If this kind of thing takes off, it will become easier for dictionary based password attacks. Using this advice would go a long way towards preventing this.

I'd say more often than not that's the case I see. Is it ethical, though?

I was curious, too. From the OP, "I asked LawyerCT about this one and she said that any serious employer would use a real site such as social intelligence to run a background check. The sites listed above are mostly around to make a profit
