I actually find it a bit funny when people put up personal data for the sake of sharing it with others over a public network, then go on complaining about privacy.

The fools who sold the stock to you initially instead of holding it. To be honest, I am growing tired of arguing against people who believe that the economy is a zero sum game, along with all the other fallacies. I can just grow wealthy on

Goldman Sachs is expected to report a loss at the next results, seems like ruling the world doesn't guarantee profits ;-) It's true that day traders don't care if the market is going up or down, just like many specialists focusing on their

Nice to see someone who looks into this in better detail. Another thing I think we should consider is that as innovation drives up the productivity per person, inequality will always rise, significantly. The value of a mostly unproductive p

> I am up every morning at 4am to go for a run before I put in 3 hours of coding before leaving for my day job. That is a great tip. I am struggling with coding in the evenings and on busy weekends. My day job is less demanding coding

I like watching the discussions articles like this generate. It reminds me of both the dotcom and property bubbles and before it was obvious these were unraveling how people defended their positions. The biggest thing I get reminded of is

I've had to start over a few times in my life. Hitting rock bottom teaches you the best lessons. What you learn from this experience and how you eventually overcome it will put you ahead of those people who never take a risk and make fun

Banks like HSBC may seem and claim to help you between countries, but this is rarely the case. The problem is regulations, they really do operate in regional silos except perhaps on advice (and where the profits go). For example my HSBC a

I wanted to get into electronics first, but my problem was that most of the books I could get my hands on were out of date, mostly dealing with old components like PNP transistors. The broken radios and other gear I could strip for parts h

I tend to agree with your attitude. As a teen I saved up around $50 over a year to afford broken components to fix up to assemble my first PC. I learned how to do this from books I got from the library. I used that PC to teach myself a lo

Around 1 in 4 or 5 women in the UK have herpes. I think the stats are similar for the US. It's still a problem, but most people suffer little from having it. It still has a stigma attached to it, hence why people don't admit to it, which

I also think there's space in the market for a strong forum engine service, while labelled. Something that's search engine friendly and maybe something to help people replace their php forums with.

Nice one Amazon. It's smaller, and cheaper, has content and is Android. I certainly see where this fits into the market. I'm sticking to an iPhone, but would like to have access to the Android ecosystem and want something smaller than the

I figure it's a risky bet for them to make an investment based on the cost of electricity going up that much. Someone could just figure out a way to burn coal and capture the carbon and use it as fertilizer and the whole investment falls a

If I remember correctly from a few weeks ago, Zynga revenues increased and most of their spending remained flat, but they've increased spend on R&D dramatically hence why they are showing lower profit figures. This is a smart move, in

Yup, I think it's that, it's nice for perl users to find each other. Every second job I do seems to involve writing a lot of perl code. The release notes reminds me how much I still don't know about perl.
