The NYT's target demographic is the top 40% of income producers middle age and older. They don't know how to reach us, and they're not worried about it for another few years. If they lose us (in a general sense here), they're not too worrie

I've thought about one of those ideas for a while: promise 6 months to highly motivated high school kids and for an exchange of working for two years at lower wages, you'd train them. Then, you could have them working for 20 hours a week fa

With a kindle, how do you keep multiple pages in front of you at the same time? That's not to mention e-books as sources. Even if we figure out the virtual library issues (lest we bankrupt every grad student -- comprehensives in the social

As I understand it, the classic use case for an ORM is for consultingware that must be installable on multiple engines with as little duplication of work as possible. A product may have seven customers, each with highly customized requireme

It's government looking out for "your interests." That said... It is not as risky to go into business as it is to loan someone else money to go into business. You lose so much control, and people often gamble with retirement money because o

Let's just say that Apex doesn't have a stellar reputation in other areas either. I personally would never recommend that anyone sub under Apex, but considering that Apex is already doing C&D, I won't go into details.

Consider the other side. (These are all things that happened before I arrived.) Vendor comes in and says, "yes, our software can do it." Then, everyone finds out that it can't. In comes some expensive customization that doesn't quite work r

divide by 6 (the contest is six months, not 2). That means 833 people for six months, some of whom will become successful and keep doing it. Then there's a 2% transaction fee for the entry level shop. Then, some will choose premium plans. I

Some of us played for years, long after the fad wore off. The difference between the swirve games and facebook is that a community grew up around the game. From what I've seen of the facebook games, it's mostly your existing friends. I have

But aren't you getting excited about the web development you'll able to do in 6-8 years?

However, I do know people who have reduced their lives to maximize alcohol, pot, and/or video games, and minimize everything else. It wouldn't be fulfilling to me, but it seems to work for them. Even if they still have a job. I remember som

I live in Tucson and occasionally choose to eat at Chipotle none the less. There isn't a taco shop around that makes a veggie burro anywhere close to Chipotle's guacomole burrito. While a caloric load in itself, half a burrito is a good siz
