Oh. That's certainly true and OP should definitely try. However, all I'm trying to say is that clients will have expectations regarding price/cost working with someone who's located in the Philippines. Again, it's n

What you say is true but many clients will prefer to pay $100 ph for a local guy they can meet face to face rather than outsourcing overseas. I don't mean to devalue the abilities of OP but one of his strengths is his economic favour,

This link seems to be dead. Also keep in mind that you will have to file this in the state (territory) where the business is based. The above link is for Queensland. Have a look here for more info: https://www.accc.gov.au/co

Whoo. I actually used this Pascal compiler on DOS. Must have been the late 80's, maybe 88 or so? Not sure what the version was. Cool stuff!

I'm looking at the home page but I have no idea what this is. Is this a payment thing? I see a credit card under "Upgrade your card". No sure what that means though, upgrading my card. Then some more stuff that looks like I c

I haven't really used it but I guess I would classify it the same as Titanium. If you're building content apps then it might be really good. I guess it all depends on what you're trying to achieve.

I tried Titanium. Its horribly slow. You can't really build native UI's unless you mimic them. Using Javascript is super simple but you trade off in power, big time. General rule of thumb; if you're building "content&quo

Indeed. This doesn't leave an awful lot of room for profit. A prison is supposed to be a profitable business, what do people think this is? A service to society?

As the comment I replied to suggests, changing skin colour doesn't necessarily have anything to do with climate. the point is; if only the pale girls get to make babies then over time skin becomes lighter. further more, I don't th

I block Flash by default which will filter out most annoying ads but I don't target ads specifically. In general I don't mind ads as long as they're static, i.e. non-moving and non-flashing such as Push the Monkey style ads.

This sort of even happens a little bit today. E.g. my wife is from Thailand. The No. 1 beauty feature to have in Thailand is pale skin. Women with pale skin are preferred of women with dark skin (by Thai men that is).

Maybe you're right. Interesting link. I have to say though, they did one of the biggest grossing tours, if not THE biggest tour, in history of music between 2009 and 2011: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U2_360%C2%B0_

Skimming through these, the sad thing is that quite a lot of these are seemingly people/kids for western countries. It reminds me of a segment in Jay Leno where they went on the street asking geography questions like, where on the map

I don't think U2 gives an awful lot about music charts (any more). Personally I always liked U2 (grew up in the 80's, so...) but I also think this is an awkward move and maybe more importantly, unnecessary. It just feels out of pl

I have an LG G Watch. It's a useless piece of shit (apologies for the harsh language). I think this is the biggest non-product I have ever owned. The first major flaw in it is that it wants to be talked to, all the time. You can use th

I don't think Apple needs that handful of extra dollars from early adaptors. The reason the initial price is high is because its easier to decrease a retail price than it is to increase it.

I live in the Sydney CBD fringe, about 1.5km out of the CBD. My rent is about $2,500 AUD a month and with other costs of living I could easily have a good life on $5,000 AUD a month. It's just that my wife won't let me... :)

I'd like to see a not for profit bank in the sense that the profit the bank does make, goes directly back into the local community surrounding the bank. The bank would have a physical presence but strong and modern on-line support.

Indeed. Code is useless without the people who wrote it being around. It's not the code that's valuable, it's the experience of the programmers who it that's valuable.
