No, I did not mean prime minister. In Spain, the head of state is the monarch and the head of the elected government is known as the "Presidente del Gobierno", or president of the government. Although a counterpart can be found in other par

Well, at least he just has some blood pressure that needs tending to. Even though I mostly disagree with the man's politics, I must say that it takes a smart prick to make a contextually accurate and funny joke in a foreign language at an i

Man get all wacky about $175 transaction. IF you're playing that close to the bone, my advice would be to stick to cash sales and forget about banks and online escrow services like Square.

The mere fact that OP is still wasting time debating the merits of investing in engineering over design is a dead giveaway that he has not a clue. The debate has been dead for quite some time now. Let me clarify this for those not in the kn

If I just plunked down ~$100K plus another ~$200K in lost salary for two years of business school, not to mention the money spent and experience gained during my undergrad and subsequent years of employment, do you think I'd stoop down to l

Yeah, become really good at what you do for work unless it's something you really don't like doing.

Not in every case but most notably anyone working in the role of project manager, an actor who I give the hook to as soon as I'm on a project.

Make a choice then: learn to code or focus on design. I can help you. I make double as a designer as what I made as a front-end developer and I'm also happier for it. The more focused you become on design the less dependent you'll be on eit

Agreed. Nothing worse than hearing a non-technical-business-resource-humanoid mention that they'll just write up the specs and hand it to the coders. Unfortunately, that's the world we live in.

This happens because people don't understand the GPL and its unique ability to empower developers to write software or something really interdesting like that.

You have to read the three reasons posted above and then the explanation. The service as implemented on the backend looks good but on the front end they need some help of the professional kind. Also, including the Aviary viewer in the demo

Cool demo, but a real-time quote is measured in the ~20msec range. A real-time trade would be <50msec round trip. A real-time quote provider is someone who's server is physically connected to a direct exchange feed, as in you have a 5'

No, they actually do not. The visual design is poor enough, not to mention the actual code implementation but the interface itself is even more disjointed and incoherent, using a varied mix of metaphorical elements on the view that have no

Neither Dell nor Apple gives away their products for free. Nor will they at any time in the future, so the textbook for laptop metaphor is invalid in this case. What I alluded to is that should Dell engage in a product comparison campaign w
