Well-done job ads might not be so bad, particularly if well-placed. I suspect that companies probably do pretty well with http://careers.stackoverflow.com , for example, in part because they're advertising within a community where they can

I just pointed them at this discussion along with sending along some feedback of my own, but my take is that anyone who can be the distributed cat herder, manager, designer, admin, developer single body that they want is going to be one or

Inigo Montoya has it: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." "Delete" in almost any computer context means "forget" not "erase." "Forget" the file metadata (generally the name, the link to the beginnin

An Excel form development tip: select the entire sheet and set the column width to 1. Merge cells that users will be entering in. Lock all non-input cells. Hide empty areas beside/below. Yes, it looks like a printed form. Users understand

Sneering at Excel is a sign of someone who doesn't understand the goals of business and in many cases why they're employed. They aren't employed to code nice apps in $language, that's HOW they do their job of making the business run more sm

Editing on a phone is quirky, so further detail: the AdWeek profile lists him as being in Germany. Also, of all the cities in the USA, Fitness SF was unable to find a designer they liked in San Francisco ? Please.

My suspicion is that this is being done because it's international. If Fitness SF is as I suspect in San Francisco while the developer is in Europe, collections will be a real headache. Sue? Sure, probably where you are, probably win. The

I've tried other browsers and I keep coming back to Dolphin because it has some things that nothing else has that I've found. (This is on ICS) * Gesture-based commands . I read a lot of long text pages (OK, very long text pages), and I lov

One somewhat late comment: based on what I saw in other discussions of this, the domain registration of the site in India is basically all false information - one starting point might be to see what can be done about getting that domain reg

Slightly inaccurate article - I've been following the discussion to some extent, and it's not that ThemeForest developers/sellers are banned from attending WordCamps, it's that they're banned from presenting, volunteering, or sponsoring

Crapware-free downloads ARE available. If you go to Oracle's Technology Network area to download (or Google for the specific version e.g. "java 6u38" or "java 7u11 oracle" because of all the press) you can agree to their binary license and

I think my one quibble would be with your advice to stay away from the 3rd-generation processors - I suspect that the HD4000 graphics in most of them will be significantly better over time, and any kernel issues are likely to be ironed out

I know that some of the Mac crowd love the small-screen options and my previous laptop was a 12" 1280x800, but I can't imagine working routinely on a screen that small in either inches or resolution these days. The biggest question is how a
