The oDesk terms of service do have clauses which give you ownership of the work done. Realistically, though, what are you going to do if he's in Asia? It's hard enough just suing someone in a different US state. (not legal advice)

I started around age 10 on HTML and then programming after that. I think starting with HTML is ideal as it's very simple, the web browsers are forgiving of syntax errors, and you can visually see results right away. You can then natura

What about renting booths at 5k/10k runs? Those attract large numbers of people interested in fitness. You could give away schwag with your logo/link on it. The booths that always seem most crowded are those that have food/re

In the past once I've reached someone who acknowledges they're late on the payment, I've offered to waive late fees if they pay immediately that day. It's usually good incentive for them to actually pay. I'd ping th

I think the referrer info itself is a security hole. Browsers should disable it. Or, you can use a plugin for now.

Every browser already ships "developer tools" for inspecting and debugging webpages. And you can already use those tools to rewrite the pages. I see this as the next step of that. And audio or word processing tools are less relate

In addition to patio11's advice, I want to add: give yourself 6 weeks of vacation. Call it an unpaid sabbatical if you need to. That will adjust your attitude, especially if you return and the business is still functioning. Be very blu

The problem with the "company store" was that they paid employees less than their cost of living. And the store sold them items on credit, thus they could never leave the company. This hardly applies to Google or their peers unles

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have extensive rules on what mortgages they'll buy. These are known as conforming loans and get buyers the best terms and easiest approval (thus raising sale prices). For condos these rules are especially com

An HOA board which explicitly allows Airbnb listings, and especially one that profits from it, is in for a world of pain. You cannot get financing for a mortgage in a short-term rental community. That will discourage new buyers who can&#x27

Seconded. They're almost always in violation because mortgage underwriters don't like high numbers of rentals and they certainly wouldn't like any <30-day rentals. So standard HOA docs forbid all short-term rentals and oft

I would be annoyed if a SaaS didn't auto-renew by default. And I'd also be annoyed if I had to send an email to cancel it. An alternative I also like is just to add account credit for metered usage.

That's concerning that common carriers can still affect traffic speeds unless it's 'unjust' or 'unreasonable'. I don't see how merely reclassifying ISPs will help anything. I hope the democrats' legis

That's true. Public companies have an obligation to not waste money. But it's still admirable because they've attempted to find ways that altruism and respect can further their profits, when they didn't need to. It'
