I'm sorry, but don't smart cards completely obviate the skimmer issue? Aren't they widely used in Canada and Europe? I'm not terribly knowledgeable in this area, but I thought this was a solved problem being held up by corporate interest in

I agree I need to be better at this. I actually reviewed a lot of my collection recently and felt that I should have been more discerning at the outset, but didn't actually reduce the number at all. This doesn't fix the problem though. A to

In my case, this isn't it. As others have responded, you take many pictures in order to get a good one. I'm messing with shutter speeds and aperture, I'm shooting on continuous advance, and as I mentioned elsewhere, I took a lot of photos l

I certainly have considered them, but I'm already paying for dropbox and flickr and a vps and domains. I try to keep recurring costs relatively low. I use dropbox to back up important files and flickr is a backup for my photos. I'll be gett

Your generous estimate on size is way off. I'm not sure exactly how many pictures I've got in total. However, I do shoot in RAW which means each photo is in the 15MB to 18MB range. I also have JPG versions of each for sharing to friends and

They do offer selective sync which can be configured on a folder level in the settings. I've been using this for a while now to save space on device like the MBA with limited space on solid state drives.

Thanks, will do. I agree about Dropbox, I have no intention of adding additional space for this, however, I like the integration it offers on phones etc.

Add a family to this and it only compounds. My wife takes pictures with her phone, I take pictures with mine, we've got a Sony NEX that I took 4,500 pictures with last year (we traveled a lot), not to mention the years of photos from before

What I find so astonishing about the response from the people here to the two recent articles about MMM is that they think that this is advocating a life of poverty. I assume that a large number of people frequenting this board are in the t

Some 401k programs do allow for "in-service" rollovers which would allow you to move the funds to an IRA before you leave your job. Those that allow this aren't all that common, but it is worth checking into.

Not true. I've traveled for months through S. America and Europe. Of the dozens of people we met, never were any of the hitchhiking as the primary method of transportation.

I think, that you're actually missing the point. 4HWW (at least to me) is about finding a business you don't necessarily care about, that can be easily automated, and provides an ongoing income stream. That's it. I don't read it as a story

I don't think the goal or desire was to raise it to $22/hr, but merely provide some illustrations (certainly flawed) about how inadequate the minimum wage is today. It is certainly true that with increases we would see a decrease in the pur

Personally, I think relating this to productivity is a flawed benchmark, though it is interesting to think about. The idea of tying it to the rate of increase for top executives (the 1%) is also specious. It would make more sense to tie inc

So if this was the case, why couldn't the other shards handle application requests while you casually upgraded the application and database tier in say... 30 seconds (or even minutes) as opposed to sub 15s?

My wife and I save for a trip around the world by avoid "lifestyle inflation" which is what I've heard this referred to in the past (possibly from the Millionaire Next Door[1]). Each time we received a raise, we would increase our trip savi

Perhaps I'm missing something, but why not down a segment (shard I guess), upgrade the application and database, then fail over to that shard? This would provide a fail back mechanism assuming you could resolve data continuity. I'm sure the

This is subjective, but I think you're wrong. Having debt isn't a bad ting, crippling debt is of course, but I graduated with over 40k in debt and it forced me learn things like prioritization and budgeting. It also gives you a sense of urg

Regarding the paying of dividends representing the lack of innovation, I have this to ask: have we ever had a company with such massive cash reserves relative to the balance of the market? I think it makes (common) sense that this is a sign

I'm not using Unity, so I won't talk to that point, only the phone/tablet opportunity you think they should be ignoring. Apple is already a heavyweight in this area and Google/Samsung have a dominant second place. Viable tablet alternatives
