Amazing, I never thought if that way. This notion really explains some phenomenon that I've seen. Coworkers I knew drove themselves insane programming themselves to death for someone they didn't even like. Leading those individuals to su

Hot girls get hit on and proposed to several times a day by eager men. That translates to about 100 times a month and 1200 times a yar. If you don't believe me go ask one. Especially Programmer girls.

This article makes me feel like I'm talking to someone who would say: "I don't wear seatbelts because I want to be thrown from the car in an accident". It all comes down to money. If we put in seatbelts things will cost more and I'm not ta

The internet will be dominated, metered, measured, taxed, regulated and manipulated by big corporations, it is only a matter of time. The question becomes how will this be accomplished? One way is for the Government to decide a certain bod
