Nothing new here. It's SOP for about all PR firms. Social media was the best thing that could happen to PR firms: they can broadcast their message(or framing) without interference by the press. But with all the layoffs in the old press, jou

Not different at all. And I guess the probability of theft would be greater in a coffee shop.

I think it's a good idea. But I think the implementation could be better. First of all, login+invitation is a bit much. You're not google, I don't think you'll submerged in requests without any heavy marketing. I think you should get a grap

The big problem with working in a library is theft. You always have to carry your valuables around. If you want to take a wiz you have to pack your laptop, coat (in winter), cell phone, etc. each time. But if you're in a group or rent a loc

I work in market research and have to use SPSS. It sucks because the old versions would crash for no good reason and the new versions are slow. The output is ugly as hell. I haven't switched to R, StatXP, Stata because I'm lazy, we have a h

My only exposure to IBM products were their Thinkpads and the various open source they contributed to. I heard about Lotus Notes, they say it's the hell-spawn of a whore and a prostitute.

IBM, please fix their software, it crashes all the time, the new versions of SPSS are slow, the charts are ugly as hell and the file formats are not open. It would be the best thing in the world if they could open source it, but I'm not hol

As many things in life, often it's not what you know but who you know. And I guess that if you know the big cheese, it's easier to get all the permits, gov. contracts and financing.

One survey is useless for prediction. Surveys are an instant photo of a particular and defined population. You need several surveys(same population, same sampling method) to find a trend. And even if you find a trend in the data, if the sit

Only once. I had an asterisk server with polycom phones on a network not connected to the internet and because I'm lazy all the phones had 1234 as their SIP password. If you're inside the building, you don't need to hack the server, just us

Maybe it's because people make such a big deal about it. You see the price of gas a couple of times each time you got to work and news anchors will do a story about the price of gas each time it goes up a couple cents. In contrast, we never

I work/own(15%) in a small startup in the survey business. It's been about 10 months and the biggest problem is the time between the first meeting with a client and a signed contract(usually more than 6-7 months). Another problem is that th

I agree more or less. I think it's important to have a regional view on events. For example, here in Quebec we have a couple of journalists in the mainstream media covering events in the United States. After the 9-11 attacks, all the covera
