Makes sense. Thanks to both of you for taking the time to clarify.

I see why you had to mention that the call center worker was "Indian". If you hadn't, your entire statement wouldn't have made any sense. Right?

Laziness. Just point to the homepage for all the "Desktop" links. Done! The correct behavior would need them to write some logic (even if it's just: s/mobile\.//) to point to the correct desktop URL based on the mobile site URL, and then ma

It's a great tool. My only complaint is -- Currently there's no way to search notes or comments inside a task.

I have been looking (for years) for a "good" online storage/sync solution that allows me to store my documents using my own private key. TrueCrypt etc don't reach the "set it, and forget it" level. But when you think about how much more exp

This is very aggressive pricing from Google. With Microsoft offering 25GB for free (although for a limited time, and only to its existing users), and Google offering 100GB for $5/mo, the online storage space is finally heating up. The tight

Google Apps Marketplace is for Google Apps -- customizable versions of various Google products. Nothing to do with App Engine.

Yes, their trades are for much bigger amounts, and they also don't pay the hefty brokerage fees that casual investors like us pay. One example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_access_brokers which cost around $0.004 per share. And may

This industry is not very open to change. But, Borna and Eric are very hard working (and equally smart) guys -- just the kind of guys who can bring disruption to the industry. I have very high hopes!

You are correct that SFTP is not FTP. To be fair to the parent, he didn't say so either. Here are the differences between FTPS, SFTP and FTP over SSH: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Transfer_Protocol#Secure_F...

Most people from any profession would dislike anybody who thinks they are "dime a dozen" or "replaceable by ten people from India or China". Won't you? But disliking someone (like you) because they don't appreciate the profession is differe

This may be the first serious competitor that Square has had. Paypal knows the payment space very well, has a brand that everybody recognizes, has relations with a lot of merchants, and the Paypal dongle looks better for heavy usage, becaus

Yes, but it's a poor way to fix it. A high price just means that corporate people looking to get some free goodies will be more likely to attend than hackers who have to pay the $900 out of their own pockets. This will be the first time I w

Cost plus pricing. You should definitely know you numbers like the customer acquisition cost etc. I agree with you there. But relying on the cost to come up with the price point usually leaves money on the table. Price based on the value fo

It doesnt. And this has been a deal-killer for me for a long time. They'll just tell you that you can use TrueCrypt if you want client-side encryption.

No, the article says that even if in 30 years we'll see a world where education will be absolutely necessary to survive, small town america isn't aware of this fact, or ignores this fact for more short-term matters.
