Peddling something that amounts to psychotherapy. without a grounding in science is clearly suspect. Not necessarily bogus as some belief systems like religion, which have no scientific basis, can have ends which justify the means. These pe

I think slimy get rich quick was referring to the snake oil peddled by the interviewees. If Andrew can be accused of anything, it is for writing a sloppy puff-piece and not submitting these fantasy claims to any scrutiny.

This sounds a bit too good to be true. How many ad impressions add up to $80,000 in a month? What is that in user hours per month for 12 or so apps? I'd be fascinated to see the financial statements, I bet we never will

InnoDB is still part of the community edition http://blogs.oracle.com/mysql/2010/11/mysql_community_editio... The support chart is (deliberately?) confusing on this matter.

Prohibition was about criminalising alcohol, which I said was a bad idea. The problem was legalising alcohol in the first place, which would not have happened had we known then what we know now. Also the SVD massacre was IMHO only tangentia

This is naive, if we knew then what we know now alcohol would never have been legalised. We have to deal with the situation we have and criminalising alcohol would be very difficult, its too entrenched. The fact that alcohol is worse and le

I would imagine there are adverts as well. These readers are very valuable to advertisers. 150K well-to-do readers trumps a couple million freeloaders any day.

Change requires willingness to change, and action. If no candidate is willing or able to change the system then you are indeed stuck with it. Another view is that perhaps no one wants to change the system because it is, all things considere

Lack of imagination is another symptom of apathy. Doing nothing will not change the system, but it will perpetuate it.

The cliche is that men go to dating sites looking for sex and women go to dating sites looking for wealthy men. A site like this would be a bonanza for men looking for an 'easy' partner. Someone needs to start a "rich but ugly" site, that w
