If they were complaining about peering relationships, that would be just fine. Renegotiate the peering relationship! Perhaps instead of true (free) peering (what most telecoms have with Google, perhaps they should be paying Google something

News Flash: telecom company whines "Our customers pay us every month to allow them to connect to YouTube, but YouTube is owned by Google, who is rich, and Google isn't paying us anything on top of what our customers pay us. Boo hoo hoo!"

When I tried running it everything timed out. Did it work for anyone else?

Actually, I think there is an interesting question here. Please bear with me, because I am not a lawyer and my knowledge of intellectual property law is limited, but here is what I think applies. (1) There are various sorts of intellectual

My impression is that NPR's coverage of Toyota's recalls has received much greater air time in proportion to the number of recalled vehicles than their coverage of previous recalls by other companies. I have not verified the numbers to be s

I work for a bank, and while we have our problems ( http://mcherm.com/permalinks/1/password-in-pieces ), we aren't anywhere NEAR this bad.

Let's re-phrase those to keep the analogy a little more accurate: If I hadn't been able to scribble in the margins of my art books, I never would have learned to draw. If all my meals had come pre-packaged and pre-approved by the food board

Well, ING Direct tries to make it reasonably easy for our customers to make these sorts of transfers. For instance, once you set up a "linked" account (ie, prove to us that you own an account at another institution) you can transfer money b

Depositing checks IS supported, at least for customers who have a "Electric Orange" checking account with ING Direct. We don't go out of our way to encourage people to do it because processing checks is expensive for the bank. But you can f

Hi! I'm a developer for ING Direct, and I'm pleased that you speak so highly of your experience here. I wonder if I can help out some with the concerns you still have. You mention not having branches -- which is true, but we DO run the occa

Hey, that's a really good idea! Is anybody listening?

So, enlighten us: what is an eigenvalue, and what do matrices represent?

It may not be a "hack", but I wasn't aware of it, so it's interesting information anyway.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I do know that one of your assumptions is incorrect. The reason for making gmail invitation-only was NOT to build a graph and keep nodes artificially small. Rather, the goal was to provide a w

Yes, but the correct thing to do in this situation is to pay the $5,000 for the Hello World program, NOT post it (you never promised to publicize the results), and tell your boss "mea culpa... I tried the programming contest thing and it di

You know... I haven't been doing this in my interviewing (okay, I haven't been doing ANY interviewing for 1.5 yrs, but hopefully we'll be hiring again soon). But now, after reading this I think I should.

From the point of view of mint.com employees and even moreso the investors in mint.com, this may be a wonderful deal. But from the point of view of a consumer of financial software, this is terrible. Intuit's products have been terrible and
