Me too... they had some of the strangest and freaked-out submissions there. I don't know any substitute for it on today's internet. Last time I went to the website I was surprised it was still online and I felt really sad when I realized th

Is that a generation or culture thing? Where I used to work, it was the one golden and unquestionable and holy rule: if you break the build, you have to buy a crate of beer for the team - so you get the "punishing" part and you get some tea

Sometimes I still cannot believe how prevalent fake reviews are. Not too long ago a friend of mine contributed a chapter to a programming book for one of the major publishers and they made sure to tell him to ask his friends to write review

How much serious and good advice were you expecting from someone who says "Sleep Is a Waste Of Time". And as an alternative to climbing: learn to play guitar or bass!

While this is incredibly informative and I wish I had more than one up-vote, I feel quite intimidated by the information flood especially the point where it seems very VERY easy to do something wrong and end up with worth results in the lon

I think one problem here is that they non-chalantly made "poor people skills" equal to "abusive behavior towards costumers" and used the "awesome tech with poor people skills" image as a euphemism in their PR to comb over a VERY ugly situat

Yep, so they just filter by whatever IP you are connecting from from outside the US and that's it. Countless websites and services have been doing that for a looong time - just as evil but should not have anything to do with cookies because

You are trying to tell me that someone like Warren Buffet with a net worth of $50 billion can really actually make good use of all that money? I know, "there can never be enough" out of principle. But really, with 50bn I imagine you could n

Another moral here is: you were seeing him as less clever and less successful because he was "just" a welder. A skilled craftsman who understands what he is doing, understands a bit of the market and the chances available to him can run cir

What I have always wondered: there has got to be a certain amount of money that by all normal standards HAS to be enough for a human being. If you are so rich, you can only have so many houses and cars and all sorts of other toys that you d

You did not understand my question. I was talking about the part where people use Aero for their personal backups and syncing their own machines, not about sharing with other people. With something like dropbox traffic goes between me and t

I think I missed something... basically it uses P2P instead of a central server that copies my data but doesn't that mean I am sending possibly private data all around the internet to other aero users, though encrypted? Then isn't that the

I can honestly hardly believe the 3- to less-than-6 hours figure if it constantly is less than 4 or 5 per day... studies indicate that this, by and large, is where it WILL start having impacts but of course there could be exceptions and may

The weird thing is that in our understanding of business culture, it is widely accepted if not applauded to be putting in crazy hours and telling of heroic acts of not-sleeping-enough to work and stay fit. At the same time, drinking at work

A lot of the time you don't even have to begin... they write whole songs for you. And being a guitar player myself I know Mayer gets a lot of flack for his pop tunes. But all snide remarks aside, listen to some of his blues stuff like the J
