Feedback: - the jobs for 10gen are stale, like maybe 6+ months old. - you might want to add something to catch people searching on subtle spelling differences (eg: "10gen" not "10 gen"). - there's some mismatches on company names, eg for th

50k is low for an engineer, even fresh out of college, in NYC. Ditch the car, you'd be frustrated as hell using it on any regular basis in the NYC metro area, and feel kind of stupid for carrying the overhead of it if you don't use it regul

S-HTTP was pitched as an alternative to SSL but died very quickly as neither MSIE nor Netscape Navigator supported it. My memory is fuzzy about it now but I recall one of the "advantages" being that you could selectively encrypt portions of

Feedburner has (had) an option to CNAME your own domain name to a google domain and to use that as the feed URL. If you did that then all you need todo is change where the CNAME points to.

Pick up a sport. Take midday naps (20-30 minutes max). Cut back on caffeine and alcohol. Have someone to talk to whom you don't work with. Get a dog. Take him or her for a walk when you're feeling stressed. Establish inviolate downtime.

So, you have an idea, and all you need is a technical guy to make it happen. The problem is, whatever your idea is, you're failing to sell it to the very people you need to help make it succeed. "the technical co-founder should understand t

I've seen something like this demo'd in NYC, unfortunately I can't remember if it was a NY Tech Meetup or other event, in the last six-eight months. The NYC Metrocards come in two flavors: unlimited (day, week, and month) and pay as you go

There's plenty of new development going on, both condo and rental apartments. New rentals are typically required to set aside some percentage of units for specific income levels (so-called affordable housing). Condos typically trade in 421-

You’re conflating “Rent Control” and “Rent Stabilization”. Rent Control applies to apartments built prior to 1947 and only to tenants and their descendants who have lived in the apartment continuously. There are no new rent controlled apar

There’s no reason to answer such questions with the “right” answer. My mother’s real maiden name is public information, so when asked for that I give a different memorable name. About the only time I tell the truth on such forms is when it

I don't know what their current policy is but we've rolled our initial Tivo S1 "lifetime" subscriptions over to S2 and now one S3/Premiere Tivo. Seems to be an occasional special they do.

I've had an AMEX Gold “Open” card ($75/yr) for close to ten years. I don't recall the exact details about the sign-up process, they asked for information about my business (consulting) how long it had been active (a couple of months) and m

I don't think that's correct but can't remember well enough to say so definitively. You could certainly have multiple DOS and Windows programs "running" but whether they were all active simultaneously or not I can't remember.

Car ownership rate in NYC is under 45%. Many of us who own cars are too lazy to move them every couple of days for street cleaning, so they are parked in attended garages or lots, which deters (though isn't a guarantee against) theft. Some

What's broken is that many NYC commercial/office rentals won't offer a flat "this is how much we charge PSF", instead it's "well, who are you, what are you doing, and what's your budget?"
