Again, a massive generalization that you quite frankly don't have a bit of data to support.

Does fiber have the same ability to withstand elements and the like as copper wire? It'll be interesting, Kansas City can have pretty intense weather.

That made me think of a show that was on the golf channel where they tried to make Charles Barkley into a respectable golfer. Despite a highly competent coach and many hours of practice, it ended badly IIRC.

Except in at-will states your employer doesn't need to state a justification to fire you. This means if you discuss your salary and get caught, you have to prove that to be the cause (which is nearly impossible).

Tell me about it. I came out of college in 2002 and was looking for a job in Dallas while my wife went to school. This was the lowest of the lows, right after the telecoms in Dallas had folded and just flooded the market with thousands of d

Ya, and in order to get that primary access you have to be willing to play by Google's rules (stock experience, google apps, etc...). They've also spread things out. HTC, Samsung, and Motorola have all gotten their shot.

I've never met someone outside of a very narrow subset of the technical scene who even cares about the implications of Google's tracking and monetization strategy. I suppose it's a risk, but an "achilles heel"? I doubt it. It is a nice plac

This is tangential, but somehow related: My level of frustration Redmond has reached epic levels. My company spends thousands of dollars a week managing advertising campaigns on Adcenter. They have an API which has been nothing but issues,

I'd have to imagine that'd violate some sort of treaty. That's a huge part of the issues. These sort of regional restrictions are all wrapped up in a mess of various treaties and international agreements that Canada could not easily extrica

I haven't written code to sort an array in nearly two decades of professional experience:) I've been lucky enough to work on some pretty non-trivial problems as well. If you asked me to do it, I could probably crank out some sort of bubble-

I agree with the first part, but have to quibble with the statement "there were probably 0 people experienced with PHP at Facebook's level." I suppose that's true in absolute terms (nobody is at Facebooks level). However, there are definite

I'm arguing that Google didn't even believe that the binaries were a good product for 10-inch tablets. My bet is that Motorola forced their hand a bit, as opposed to waiting for the software to actually be complete. It's a pretty long list

Is it possible that there is a much simpler explanation here? For anyone who has touched a XOOM, it's clear that Honeycomb wasn't ready when it was launched. Bugs, incomplete features, and general lack of polish was really evident. I think

I think you're over-thinking this. It's clear to me that Honeycomb simply isn't done. You can see it on the xoom. It's just not ready yet. It was shipped incredibly early. Google is holding it back because their probably just not happy with

You could also argue that the "speech" in that case was that of the child, and it was most definitely not freely given.

We use EBS snapshots as a last-resort backup. They're really convenient that way. We have a more robust backup system, but in the unlikely event that something goes wrong at least we have those snapshots, even if they're not perfect.

I'm not sure you have to go all the way to India for that. Here in Denver we had Downtown office space (about 1200 sq. ft.) for $500/month on a sublet. That's about $0.41/ft as compared to $0.21/ft for freshdesk. Sure it's about double, but

Yep. It took us about 3 years to go from zero to $10k in net-income a month. The good news is that getting to $20k took significantly less time.

Every now and then you see a company do something and you go "damn that's smart". Trada was the last one for me. I had the same reaction with Klarna. That type of lending basically makes you a micro credit-card company... "issuing" you cred

Is that really right tho? Lets follow the waiter example. In order to skim the card number they'd have to put the card down, pull out a pen, and copy it. Likely within plain sight of their employees. With a skimmer they just discretely 'dou
