   FWIW I'm not sure if it's good practice or not. I used locust.io recently. The client allowed me to ramp up request rates until I got HTTP Errors. I measured against their previous analytic sites. Of course this was a guesstimate

   I'm a PM of sorts, I don't do freelance but I do work for a small web agency. We're a fairly friendly bunch of people and don't fine or penalize clients for delays. That being said I'm the mean PM in the company. T

   Oh yes the "easy" project... we just need... The real issue is sales...you make the sale because you have to. Then you stick the project on some poor PM/Ba/Dev who will fight with them forever over this stuff. Maybe I&#x

   Layoffs are never fun...and neither is life at a company leading up to those layoffs. Best of luck to them. Overall I really like the blackberry platform it was great for messaging. Its to bad they weren't able to stay on top of the ma

    I think that completely depends on your goals. Are you wanting to work for a startup company? Are you thinking an agency? freelance? Or are you thinking some large corporations? The answers will vary slightly, IMHO. If you're thinking

    While I lack security and encryption knowledge beyond the basics I believe the answer is 'no'. I believe hosts can either access a VM's file system, RAM or SWAP. You're better asking "How can I reasonably secure a V

    Essentially this is how some web/digital agencies work. They higher people and contract out the work. I see nothing wrong with it ethical. That just depends on your ability to market yourself. In reality I would suspect you'll jus

    I like this... I was just thinking about last night how it would be nice if I could just swap with someone. I would note you might want to protect against things like "help me get laid" I see it it on the homepage just a moment ag

    +1 for grad school, in particular if you ever think Law might be a potential. It can help with the first job but rarely matters.

    How hard is this to do... I ask because I find it harder to believe that they are responsible for this. Just like I don't trust the YouTube videos either. I would find it more likely that three letter agencies are involved as PR.
