A brief trip to the AmazonSupply site reveals that it's definitely not ready for prime time. After doing an initial search, a somewhat random selection of products in the category were displayed. But whenever I clicked through to the d

I used to deal with this issue of PC PageMaker disks in a Mac & Quark world at a service bureau back in the day. The problem was that PageMaker had unpredictable results when printing to an imagesetter. I would open the file in Mac Page

An investor who invests in "an idea alone" is actually investing in the person (or team). They believe that the person with the idea is capable of implementing it. Implementation is where the value lies.

Eudora still works. That's pretty good for a program that came out in the late 1980s.

This post brought back some memories. Back in the early 90s, I put together a maxed-out IIfx for use at my job at a prepress service bureau. The bare IIfx alone was $11,000, and the complement of 16x 16MB SIMMs, for a then-staggering 256MB

From a quick read of the court filing, it appears Frere-Jones has the upper hand here. If everything in the filing is true, I hope he wins, big-time.

In a professional kitchen, scales are mainly used for baking. On "the line" where food is cooked, measurements are mainly by hand and by eye.

Take notes at all times; every time there's a word or phrase she should write it down and google it later. Learn idiomatic phrases and "think" in English.

If you run your own mail server, this whole process is much easier. Just set up an alias name specific to whoever you're giving the address to; then forward it to your real email. If spam starts, you just delete the alias.

Obviously, this is a subjective question with many answers. However one clear marker is expert sales ability. Anyone involved in business for a while will know that there is a clear demarcation between average sales ability and superstar sa

These restaurants have already eliminated cooks, so this move isn't all that surprising. In case you didn't know, most "food" at chain restaurants is prepared in advance, sealed in pouches, and re-heated via microwave. I

A couple comments have addressed the issue of people potentially shooting down the drones. I think this is very likely, as it appears even a decent slingshot or arrow could take one down if the shooter was close enough. But another scenario

Sadly, this story is all too typical of how advertising agencies work. Having worked with a number of agencies in the past, I found that nearly all of them were more than willing to steal work, not pay, break contracts, and engage in other

It would be nice if this were true. But it seems rather unlikely, as even the biggest hits of crowdfunding have been on the low side of VC funding amounts. Crowdfunding might eventually yield 100M rounds, but that doesn't seem likely t

This guy has a great claim to some payment, anywhere from $500 to $5,000 (or whatever he can settle for). The usage without permission is not in doubt. The case for payment for this type of usage is well-established. The only question is ho

An interesting article, but the author missed one main DSLR advantage: full manual control. For a number of shooting situations, this control is essential to obtaining the desired results.

Missouri is the only state with the type of exception cited. Even so, Federal law makes home distilling illegal in all states. http://www.ttb.gov/spirits/faq.shtml#s7

As many others have pointed out, this stunt is almost certainly illegal. In addition to the obvious violations of Federal law, state and local laws were probably violated as well. This is not a matter of "failing to comply with regulat

It wasn't about flooding the market, it was about pricing in Euros, thus taking aim at the dollar as the sole reserve currency. (Among other things.) Example: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9

I'm really annoyed by those sites that insist on having a non-removable top bar overlaying the text. Because they break the page-down key. You page down, but part of the unread text scoots under the top bar. Arrrg.

Not yet. But numerous news articles suggest that the US Government has a sealed indictment all ready to go as soon as they can kidnap him.

They don't have to scan them all. Only the ones uploaded by the people on their target list. As for access, I'm sure they have it. Regarding computational power, the NSA is generally reputed to have enough supercomputers to fill a football

RE: "These messages are hidden in photos so they cannot be detected by Facebook, Governments or prying friends." I think this claim is overly broad and not particularly true. The NSA surely knows about steganography too. It's been around fo

There's an obvious distinction between state governments and the far greater competence of Federal agencies. As someone who works in a business that's heavily regulated at the local, state, and Federal level, I can tell you that the differe

Perhaps phone makers can start making their cases out of aluminum, with enough mass to take the heat. 40W over 20 seconds doesn't sound too daunting. If you split such an aluminum backplate into two parts you could use them as the power con

While I agree it's eminently reasonable, it can sometimes take a day or two to work through a thorny issue, regain a sense of calm, and write something reasonable.
