Many pubs in Scotland are missing, not only on the islands but also on the mainland. Nairn, Forres and Applecross all appear without pubs on the map, but it is easy to check Google to see that all of these towns have pubs.

There's enough evidence that plastics leak harmful chemicals into our food that I don't want to eat anything that's been sitting in a plastic bag in warm water for hours on end. No thanks.

Hey, well it was obviously the right way for you all at the time. I was just surprised because I haven't seen execs interviewed that way, but my experience is heavily skewed towards very large companies. The more typical pattern I&#x27

Yahoo Directory has certainly been neglected and customers stopped using it in favor of search. However, I think there's still an opportunity for a directory 'done well'. Browsing hierarchically is a different mode of discove

If you want to work in tech in the UK but don't like the downsides of London, it's worth considering Edinburgh. The tech scene is really taking off here, with plenty of jobs (see this list of tech companies http://www.n

You can, but it does indeed look like you still need Spotify Premium. https://www.spotify.com/us/sonos/

Interesting. Does anyone know whether this applies to Spotify on Sonos?

I also take issue with the idea that "an active GitHub account should be enough for most programming jobs" but for different reasons. Good programmers do more than just 'programming' or 'coding to a spec'. What

I wonder how this will fare compared to the efforts of the BCS (British Computer Society), who have tried to push 'certification' for years with their MBCS (Member of the British Computer Society), Chartered Engineer and Chartered

This reminds me of working for a software tools company in the late 90's, selling IDEs and metrics tools to investment banks and telcos. One day, a potential customer called to ask about the price of a license. "1500", my boss said. "1500 w

Nice idea, and I would use this if you had a convincing portfolio. I'd suggest you add some work samples to the site.

Back up a level...do you really want to pay someone to watch the other person you paid to clean the house? Why not just hire a reliable cleaner that can work without supervision?

I once made the mistake of asking a developer with some design skills to produce a website design. Result: the design showed 'some design skills', but it wasn't good enough. Hire a designer.

It's interesting. I can see that the Audi R8 is a technical masterpiece and I find it visually attractive. However, I find it hard to get over the fact that it's an Audi and it shares design elements and some components with cars that I wou

What's new apart from the web front end? I thought every city has had businesses like this for years. Here in Scotland, we have a number of 'Waterless' car cleaning services who will come to your home of place of work.

I've found that paid classes or personal training beat 'the gym' as the instructors are highly motivated to keep you coming back...

This struck a chord with me. I grew up in rural Scotland, learning to program my MSX and the BBC Micros they had in our school. I picked up a lot of 'tech culture' from Byte magazine, which would sporadically appear in our local newsagent.

Interesting experiment. I had been wondering about this. I have also been thinking along the same lines as Florian about 'Find Friends'. I have certainly had some people appear there who I am aware of (e.g. neighbors) but we don't have any

Do you have a good professional network? You could ask them to recommend someone trustworthy. FWIW I agree you should put them under an NDA but don't rely on that stopping quiet/silent leakage.
