How am I supposed to spend time with my family if I'm expected to be at work from 9am until 7pm (that would be a 50 hour work week)? Also, I assume that most startups either offer unlimited vacation (which from what I've heard mea

Wouldn't a smart phone enable GPS automatically to try to get a more accurate location when 911 is dialed? Obviously this doesn't help with phones that have no GPS, but I would think with the amount of smart phones in use today it

I've had both jobs where I could mostly work when I wanted to and also where I had to be in the office basically the entire day. I found that at the job where I had flexibility, I produced better output, and I didn't have a lot of

It's still not worth the money. I watch a small amount of NFL during the season. Occasional I might sit down to watch a portion of a good game. However, I'm not willing to spend much more than a few dollars a month (that's ho

What about the fact that the weather in Texas is too hot and that, from what I read online at least, public transportation stinks? It'd be nice to live in a city where a car isn't required for every trip. Maybe there are places in

What about someone who has a job where they code full-time (or close to it) but they don't enjoy what they're coding or they don't feel like they're getting better in their current position? Sometimes you're not in a position where you can
