I like it a lot. Easy to remember URL. However the services offered are not so good. At least there is no RFC 867 and RFC 868 date on port 37 and port 13. This is deprecated, I know, but rdate is still the easiest way to fix the date on a s

You mean getting a click for 5 cents? I got a 100% success on 10 cents during a test. Apparently, from the results most of the clickers came from India.

I studied the costs for such an approach on facebook, using amazon mechanical turk. 80% success on comments, 100% on likes. Details on http://en.blog.guylhem.net/post/18384978350/mechanical-turk-... I wonder how frequent it is.

Quite interesting - more than foursquare maybe. I don't really care where people are right now - unless they have just arrived and I can still join them. In any case, that's a short window of opportunity. However knowing where they plan to

Speculation- yes. I paid just below 100, and I considered that a tad expansive. It's not a word but it is easy to say and to remember, and I needed one for a project, so I got it thinking I could reuse it later.

And you can get them for cheap. Got one .com as recently as last year, with the .org as a freebie. I'm now considering selling my 3 letters/numbers domain name - .net and .org.

brillant! I'm eager to try that at work tomorrow for my todo list. I like it small (fitting in the pocket) but the way I fold it it quickly falls into pieces

IMHO the best part of the article is in the italian exemple: considering wine as just a kind of food or as a way to get high is a cultural thing. Usually it's both, but one of the dimensions prevails. I can not talk about Italy, but the sam

I see you point know. I'd rather say it's a sad situation, but you play the cards you're dealt.

If I may, I suggest you try the USB version - Apple USB keyboard - http://www.amazon.com/Apple-109-Key-Version-Keyboard-1003199... Very similar layout, with a smaller form factor, non mechanical but to me it feels just as good, and it fea

Well there is an option for Fx keys as Fx keys instead of shortcuts in Preferences.app But this keyboard, even if it supposedly designed for the mac, won't get my money: - weird FN keys where the right control stands, instead of the leftmo

Considering the amount of bashing going on in this thread, I must suppose everyone saying it is no big deal has done at least the same - ie Microsoft certification at that age [or younger], meeting up with Bill Gates, and sharing her mature

Interesting. What was problematic with the arrows compared to a PC? The inverted T is pretty standard. Do you mean the lack of home/end/pgup/pgdn ? I could point you to solutions I use like controller mate - pretty handy to remap. Guylhem

"I'm not in it to save the world, I'm in it for myself" At least, that's self consistent and honest. Maybe not a good sales strategy though.

Science, reason and rationalism are not incompatible with an ego. If you believe in some right and wrong, there should also be an emotion, and eventually an action. I don't think selling ourselves is an overstatement here. And I would also

Same thing here. I have felt this new "moral order" but this is the first time I've seen it linked to a salesman persona and used as a token to describe this generation.

Thanks for the follow up. Still, I wouldn't place such a rude "I don't care, it's deleted, mail me again when I'm back" autoresponder.

Spot on the "post-emotional” generation : no anger, no edge, no ego. Is the entrepreneurial model so attractive that everything that may set you apart has to be shaved, to avoid displeasing anyone? To me, hating something is at least as imp

Until you consider that like a road side casualty, some people will use your fears against you. Never bail them out.

Not sure it's such a great idea to rent the studio as a place to crash : I've been told it gets noisy in the afternoon, and that one may hear voices saying "oh it's goooood".
