Yup, especially not on a webcam page easily accessible from your phone so you don't have to carry it around. I sometimes wonder if I advertise this as a service how many people will mail me their tokens.

Certainly. I was thinking two things, this man is having more success than most companies at outsourcing, and this company he was outsourcing to seems really good.

'Large Company' is quite relative. I have just left a job at what I consider a large company, with just under 300k employees. There it was a well known step in your career to build your network, over several years. Unfortunately it's har

I remember reading sexual advice for couples from the pre internet era, and they cover many of the 'issues' described in the article and how to turn it into a positive experience. The impression I am getting is that he's never felt comfort

I don't know why they say it's unique to Britain. I've visited a hydro station in South Africa a few times where they've shown me that surge, and South Africans have fewer television channels to choose from.

Some people put a cordless electrical kettle on a gas stove, and melt the bottom and damage the kettle. Seriously, I've seen this happen a number of times, I've almost done it myself.

Some of it is not really common sense, because people make these mistakes all the time. I suspect the main mistake he has made, and this happens very often, is that in order to get a decent margin on his product he had to order a fairly la

He probably learned more about business from this venture than $10,000 of business education would have given him. I've also lost that much on a venture once, and the irony is that like his business it was also a potentially profitable and

If a good Android phone comes to market with a keyboard like the Blackberry or Nokia communicators, it will certainly get me to consider switching away from the iPhone.

I remember during the influx of Polish workers in the UK, that a pub got into some trouble because it sold a certain Polish beer in a 1 litre glass.

That would be nice, but it would only really become practical with self driving vehicles, or maybe with enough scale.

I was a bit annoyed with Zipcar when they took over Streetcar, especially since the Streetcar site and app was better than the initial integration into Zipcar. Fortunately they seemed to have fixed most of the issues since.

Potential for a lot of synergies here. Bigger fleet purchases and flexibility to move between daily and hourly rental, giving Avis card holders access to car sharing, the potential to cover more locations, etc.

I wish more people would play with working out plate wobbles than World of Warcraft.

While it's a good idea to get people off sweet stuff beyond the level of healthy fruit intake, I think it would also help if people stopped demonizing sweeteners like aspartame.

I tend towards hypoglycemia and have diabetes in my family, so I've always been weary of sugar. I try to avoid it during a work day and in the evenings, so I don't 100% avoid it, and I manage fairly well but it means getting to know what p

Many, if not most, are having some problems. It does mean growth has slowed down, but it doesn't mean it has gone negative yet, especially not globally. It's interesting what you say about Brazil, especially about government action regard

Worldwide recession? The only time the recession was global was for a short while during 2009.

I can't find it now, but my favourite 'doctor on a plane' story was from an anesthesiologist who struggles to sleep on a plane, so on a long haul flight took something to help him doze off. He woke up to the 'is there a doctor on the plane

It's not just bad coders, management is also very responsible. If management doesn't make sure code is at least getting documented and shown to co workers, then a lot of bad code gets written only one person understands and can develop int

Don't forget the hidden NI contribution from your employer, council tax, massive fuel tax, tax on alcohol, etc. That said, I always see California and Europe as the same tax wise.

I agree that it can be a really bad thing. Just as your upbringing can influence you to become curious, willing to learn and self-motivated, it can also teach you the wrong kind of motivation. I have seen people come from a background whe

I grew up in a developing country in a small town, I had to drop out of high school since it was becoming unaffordable, with access to a small library where most of the books weren't even in English. I learned electronics from those books,

I'm with you on this. I dropped out of high school because it was becoming hard for my parents to support me, and there was certainly never going to be any money for university education. This is in a developing country, where English was

Throwing plastic toys into landfill is recycling, it's just not at the pace some require to offset their upper class guilt. Energy, we'll run out of it when we the sun burns out and we've depleted the other nuclear sources, not by taking s

At least we're not shooting everything into space after Christmas. That's the only way we'll actually deplete resources. Wealthy posh people like Monbiot needs to make up things like scarcity so they can lecture us on consumption. I'm not
