You should have just given the money to the housekeeper. Than you would, presumably, have been less likely to renege to her face. Even more fun, make two sets of envelopes, one set of $10 bills and one set of $100 bills. The house keeper

You had to give money before you were able to receive money... Sorry, that seems like a classic pyramid scheme. Good that you stopped doing that.

I find myself wishing for a leather bound set of dictator books, translated into English of course.

I used to pop Rolaids for heartburn like crazy. I did this for years, until I was actually developing a toxic reaction to the Rolaids and I began trying other ways to control my heartburn. I finally discovered that sugar (and alcohol) were

I use name.com for quite a few domains. They have a very convenient way to do bulk changes, so you can, for example, select 50 domains at once, and tell name.com to change all of them to your name servers. They email you a few minutes lat

I agree that there is too much information here to stay anonymous from your boss. Instead, you could generate the histogram of the entire sample set, perhaps curve fit, so it's not obvious for small sample sizes, how many people contributed

Downvoted for the use of the term "protip". The arrogance conveyed in that single word drives my heartrate up 20%.

I cringed seeing the neighboring villagers trampling the same field that the elephants had been trampling. Talk about unintended consequences.

How does this work? Is this only a plugin for my browser, or is it a plugin for my browser ... that also stores my data or at least metadata on the ActiveInbox servers. If I use this, am I reliant for security and uptime only on google as

I wish I could downvote you twice. That he offered up the word "apparently", even with strong evidence of proof shows that he's being an objective reporter and a good scientist. I'm disheartened that this would earn somebody ridicule here.

I assume PG uses this service himself, with his Gmail, Google Docs, and Dropbox. Right? No?

Quick Revenue Idea: Make a website (IE6 Compatible, of course) that explains in tedious detail all the reasons a corporation should upgrade. There are real security issues that they should care about. Put this in the form of a white paper

We need a way to own our online persona's. We have one, it's called an email address at a domain that you registered. Unfortunately, we don't have an analogous mechanism for instant message traffic. Actually we do, it's called a jabber se

A large raise involves my manager walking up to the owner of the company and laying out a case for why the owner of the company should have less money in his pocket every month, because I'm so important to the company. If I then quit while

I'm having my review today and I am not making enough to live on. Every month, after mortgage on the house, modest car payment, and insurance for wife and two kids, I dip into savings to pay the bills. It's already too late to "plant the s

I have a request. Please add another alias, like ddg or duck. You're showing up as "im" in my buddies list, and frankly, that's not very informative to me. EDIT: Never mind, I guess I can rename you on my end.

I was also thinking of that hypothesis as I read this. It rings very true to me. I believe that people who have trouble sleeping are often people who didn't learn that much that day, and conversely, people who learn on a given day seem to

I disagree. I use Octopart regularly. If something's hard to find, at least Octopart tells me where it's NOT at. One query, and I know 1/2 a dozen of the usual suspects that I don't need to bother searching. That's a big win for me. No

Why should we structure our society so that, for the average person, self-sacrifice is the only way to survive, much less get ahead? So, we should structure our society so that you can get ahead without sacrifice? Do

Agreed. I think it's less about cost, and more about scaling. Not to have to worry about scaling is interesting.

While I agree with the general "consulting is not the path to riches" tone of the article, I have a small nit. What the author is doing is adding up all the worst case scenarios into one big ugly pile of bad. It reminded me of an mp3 player

I can't wait till everybody has an IPv6 modem/router. No more of this NAT hole punching or long polling crap for pushing notifications.
