   Given the development of the Smallest Federated Wiki ( http://wardcunningham.github.com/ ) won't projects like this be soon pointless?

   Nice work and a nice idea, but I'm struggling to see how it's worth $2 per month when it offers very little over a reminder in Google Calendar. Have you thought about tying up with Google Calendar's appointment slots and automatically conne

   Nice job! Most people pretend to 'get' rms and free software when it suits them.

   But you paraphrase me without really 'getting it' :( Stallman represents what a lot of people would think if they really though about software freedom - it is in fact the only common sense approach. Computer software runs the world (along w

   Stallman is consistent and vastly intelligent and whilst his comments can be seen as insensitive he is quite correct that Steve Jobs did suppress software freedom. We don't go to Stallman for sensitivity (you're a dolt if you do), we go to

   I think I paid £2.50 for a black neoprene 'hoodie' cover. It will last forever.

    Wait, I know this one ... because I was there, 'kicking' sales reps out of hospitals, helping senior physicians mandate formulary prescribing, helping juniors stick to the local, national formularies. I was also there with pharma companies,

    After years of reading Stallman haters and lovers I'm sorry to say that he is almost always right - good intentions never lead to good outcomes; only good actions from the outset. Google's failure to release the source for Android 3x maybe

    Props to you for using LaTeX! I too trod the road to CV perfection, from the early unwashed days of MS Word (bah!), to HTML (blah!), LaTeX (shucks!), XML (arrgh!) and finally to ReST (hooray!). Sadly no one cared; recruiters wanted MS Word

    I use it sparingly but then I have never posted on Twitter (aside from three sarcastic posts aimed at a friend) and never posted to Facebook; so for me it is a hit. I think Leo Laporte got it right a few weeks ago when he said it was more p

    Don't overreact! Speaking for myself, I often horrify my sister when I Google for something with a terrible misspelling because sometimes I am a lazy typist; and Google fixes it for me like magic! If only real-life was as easy ;)

    My take is that you should just ignore their request; you're obviously required to return equipment and confidential items when leaving any employ, so you don't need to sign a contract for that - it's dumb for them to ask. The other request

    Happened to me once in 10+ years. Had to let it go because I lost too much time chasing and paying lawyers. Now I insist on monthly payments and promise to walk if unpaid in 15 days. Seems to work.
