Amen to that! It's the only refuge from all the trash out there. Hopefully fanboys will never invade it...

Suggestions: 1) Talk to others who got sued, form a single group, hire a lawyer, and fight like hell 2) Talk to others who got sued, and as a group, talk to Amazon and all the other who are big and did not get sued, and cooperate to get a d

Of course, outsource if it makes sense. Don't drop the ball though, manage it. 80/20 rule still applies, take full advantage of it.

Hmm, excellent points in the article... I have to take those arguments into account, as my company sells software. It's not about avoiding open source, it's about removing all doubt as to the origin and ownership of the software.

One thing that is a little confusing about the site are the images at the bottom: They are too zoomed in... Are these images meant to be abstract? It's almost like a puzzle to figure out what they are: - The leftmost image: Just plug in

Exactly. A good working environment. Fun. A good employee of the week/month/etc prize. Drawings for events. Giveaways. The list goes on and on.... None of these buys are for a single piece either. That's why corp accounts are good bus

I think 200 nipples is the biggest factor of this thing... Forget about selling stuff to corporate clients (I'd rather buy somewhere else than explain to my A/P person why I bought something at "200 nipples" and can she please pay the bill)

Yeah, that got a chuckle out of me too... But a quote is a quote :) Better to leave it exactly as said.

One more vote for the confused user... I had to read the "Get to the sites you always visit, and see when they are updated" several times to even guess what your site does. Are you talking about a bookmark repository (ok, "homepage") that

That's fine, no one is trying to convince you. I personally have no stake at all in changing your mind, nor did I imply so. Don't feel threatened. I was just trying to say that people identify themselves with a viewpoint and then their eg

Why people can't accept evidence? What do you know as "truth"? Just look at the title of the article: "Acupuncture 'no help for IVF'" See the single quotes around the key statement? Even the reporter does not want to endorse the truthful

It's great to see Google has a brain about this. XML is sooo hyped up, and there are so many fan boys that it's generally not worth getting into a discussion about its merits lest you start a religious war. It's cool that Google looks bey

I've been doing that for some time. I charge extra for: 1) Signing NDAs - Projects under NDA get a premium charge of about 33%-50% 2) Releasing rights to the source code to the client - Premium of about 100% (I see this the other way aroun

There is a fine line between fraud and salesmanship... This is actually one of the things that lawyers learn at law school... What I would do is not listen to that. They have their job (selling the software) and you have yours. If they c

Absolutely true, but never forget: The buyer has an attorney on their side, looking out for their interests. As long as you do not, you are screwed. What if the buyer offers employment with a 70% purchase upfront and the rest spread out o

#1) Get a mergers and acquisitions attorney NOW. It will be expensive, but you don't want to not get something you don't have coming. There are many ways to structure these deals, and if you throw employment into the equation, you are loo

The most stupid thing for a company to do is to get in the way of a giant, or for a consultancy to have a single customer. Wasn't this predictable? How many startups are out there that "do X like Y company, except our pricing model is bette

The site has great potential... but it's essentially worthless as is. Several reasons: 1) Only short code snippets. It does not take much to write a brilliant 10 lines of code. Give me at least code for a well-designed class. 2) No comme

Another thing... Beside looking at good code, buy some books. Code Complete is excellent. Writing Solid Code another... They have the bonus of not only showing you good code, but telling you WHY it's good code.

Note: Use common sense, if you want to look at really good code, look at code in a critical part of a system... I bet that Linux's memory management routines are really interesting to see. Look at those, make a class diagram out of them (

Financial rules apply to any company that does transactions that could reach a high volume (one of the magic numbers is USD $10,000). So, for example, a car dealership that does single transactions of over $10,000 must comply with several
