Exactly this. Ill just add fake news always existed, its just that we never questioned the source. It may be an ugly truth, but I for one am glad I don't believe what I read on the web or see on TV or at the very least take it at face

That's the thing, we need employers to actually post for themselves with a contact address. Your site is a form of that, where you connect with 10-15 direct employers, which is great. We need more of that on the boards, via linkedin, maybe

I would add as a couple of other tips: 1. Provide a contact email, esp. for larger companies, filling out a n page submission form is a killer. 2. Use LinkedIn and the other boards not headhunters, Dice and Monster feel like headhunter spam

What about vendors for Wall Street? Anyone know where I could find vendors to Wall Street that are still essentially tech companies? I figure that market is huge in New York and might be a good alternative to the tradition IT in an IB job.

Whoa, no need for the stupid comments. I wouldn't suggest a full fledged app in JSPs, yes thats insane ;-). Although, years ago I wrote blog where I could email my blogs in and I remember that first night I didn't want to set up a war and j

You can do that with a JSP page, and Tomcat. You can use JSP very much like a scripting language (no need to hit a servlet, controller, etc), but obviously it can get a little messy to manage depending how large of app you write.

I know that Fleaflicker which was posted here was a java based app. So they are out there, but I think more of them are from the 2000-2003 time frame. Has anyone here gone from the Java Stack to RoR? What would you recommend to anyone makin

I've been thinking maybe it should be due to its control of advertising, but like the first post its too soon right now. Lets see how the next "boom" cycle in advertising plays out. That being said, I feel if any company should be broken up

I work in NYC. I seriously need a better umbrella for all that walking, but I feel like I'd be punched in the back of my Nubrella.

In short... no. It's going to take dedication on your part, to get up to speed, but in months you should be able to code, and in months/years if you like, do this professionally. I think with many things in life, if you really enjoy somethi

I understand DVD sales from retail outlets being harmed. However, I've always wondered why rentals get harmed, doesn't Redbox have to follow the same channels as Netflix, Blockbuster and pay for DVD's that are rented? I've always wondered h

Hmm, maybe I am approaching this incorrectly, but I'll go out, drink it up with friends, and not think about work, or my side project. I'll come back to it a day or 2 later, after not looking my problem for a bit. Sometimes that break lets

Not 100% sure on this, but emailing sensitive customer info doesn't sound PCI compliant. Maybe customers should look into suing this bank.

All I can say is, and I've been working over 8 years, if I was graduating college in this economy with 50+k in loans, no job, the worst UE rate in 20+ years, I'd be pissed as well. Not saying its right, not saying its wrong, just sayin
