While some might desire the comfort of a stable job or career, the world is developing down a path where mobility is what counts and flexibility pays off. Companies can shift production fairly rapidly due to local economic conditions and th

Ah California the Green State. Pot cultivation went way up after 9/11 due to the increase in border security. It just isnt cost effective to smuggle a kilo of pot versus a kilo of coke. Pot is pretty difficult to move in large amounts so it

I think this is a result of applying 19th century concepts of privacy to a 21st century world. The rapid leap of technology has outpaced our notions of privacy and ethics. Think about this situation from the point of view of someone born in

Thanks yes true creators well be fine. Its the content publishers and packagers that will feel the pressure as consumers find ways around them to the source.

This is the long term problem for content creators. The current generation of sub-30 year olds have grown up/will grow up in a culture of free things. That idea is flourishing and is what really should scare content creators.

But catch it right and you dont need to wash it.. okay that didnt really make sense but I've been lucky with a few stocks that got heavily (over)sold in AH and gaped up significantly at the open. If you grabbed 500 shares of NFLX in AH and

I'm curious about this as well. I know slashdot's position is that "Comments owned by the poster".

Agreed, these answers sound like a mix of cleverbot and wolfram aplha.

Traffic is the result of incorrect pricing. Its cheap to drive relative to the alternatives taking into account all non-tangible benefits like privacy and comfort or the lack of a schedule and predefined route. If it is more expensive to dr

IANAL but I would assume the Government's argument would be that the crime is ongoing and that after becoming aware of the coins they made efforts to recover the property. It is a pittance of gold but thats not the point. The Mint believes

Yeah I agree, the rough approximation is Wal-Mart selling loss leaders to drive other higher margin sales. In the case of Google, we see they "sell" Google Docs for free to create network effects (and to erode the lock in of Office) and to

Well sure they make it harder for some to "get returns off products" but its not a bad thing. Google returns that value to users. Like Google Docs, its sucking the margins out of word processing like Microsoft Office and returning that cons

Gold is not money. Gold is an asset. Dollars, Yen, Euros are money. Assets can be converted to money but assets are not money. Money is something that is commonly and readily accepted in exchange for goods or services. Can gold be money? Su

At first this made absolutely no sense to me. Totally random borderline crazy, reasonable for defense but a huge risk. Why would Google buy a low margin phone builder thats struggling to make money, its just not reasonable unless they dont

Okay maybe I'm missing something but what prevents the censoring country from obtaining Telex station equipment and placing it on outbound links diverting Telex traffic before it makes it to the outside. Censoring country cab then block/t

I've abandoned the native app and just use the web version of reader bookmarked onto my home screen. Its works great and saves precious space on my Nexus One.

But it isn't irrelevant, I have a vested interest in the picture from the fact that I'm in the picture. Photos of me are extremely valuable to me and I would think most people have that opinion but maybe I'm wrong. This 'force sharing' lead

Because its me. If you have a picture of me and want to link it to my profile information then I think it would be reasonable for me to know you have that picture. There is obvious benefit for me to have that picture shared with me and awar

One nice side effect of having digital textbooks (in college) is it deals with the pesky second market for used books. One course, one book, one non-transferable license for the quarter. Sweet no more beer money after finals.
