Actually, I thought about your CrazyEgg anecdote as I was writing my comment. Having worked for a large Japanese company for several years, I did see a cultural difference between what US and Japanese managers were willing to sign off on fo

Unless they actually don't want customers in the lower tier, I think they could channel customers to the middle tier without insulting potential lower tier customers. They could call it the Solo plan, Micro plan, Bootstrapper plan, or

I use POP with the "leave a copy on the server" option. Why would I do this? 1. I use Gmail apps for business, but unlike many people, I don't like the Gmail UI. I use a desktop client most of the time. 2. With Gmail + pop, I

I liked tucked in top sheets. My idea for this (which, of course, I never implemented), was to make a top sheet with a pocket at the end that slipped over the mattress - no more pulled up top sheet in the middle of the night.

Given that Nobel himself invented dynamite, I would think that understanding is inherent to the prize. Besides, when I was in the Army, most soldiers did not want to go to war. After all, they're the ones who are putting their lives at

Ethanol plays havoc with small engines. A couple of years ago I forgot to make sure the tank was empty and the fuel lines were cleared before winter. In the spring I had to take it to a lawn mower repair shop and plop down $50 just to clean

I was thinking the same thing. Most of the C# queries I might have had, have already been asked and answered effectively on SO. However, that is probably also true for many other languages, and from a 30,000 foot view, this does look like e

My rule of thumb for OSS software is that if a type of software is integral to developers' jobs, then there are some very good tools available. Operating systems, web servers, text editors, database systems, ... are all good examples o

That actually is a great reason for going all digital. The other reason (I don't think it was mentioned in the article) is that over the years (PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360) disc drive failures have been one of the biggest hardware problems I&#
