This is very useful. I've noticed this helps keep feelings smooth between my wife and I as well even if it is actually personal feedback. Avoiding saying the word "you" makes it easier to not come off as attacking the other person. It's a

I'd love to get in to a part of the industry where people care about stuff like this (purely for selfish reasons... web development is fun too but the barrier to entry is a lot lower). Can anyone comment on the number and quality of "hard c

$16 million is revenue, not profit, but I agree the scale is amazing. I know the price of cocaine in America is thousands of times more than straight out of the lab in Columbia. I wonder how big of a cut each group takes from the massive pr

I like what one of the commenters on the original post suggested: How about having this intelligent system locate the drivers of oncoming vehicles and not shine light directly into their faces? Same thing for cars being followed, avoiding

I realize you're probably joking :) but the software just "pulses" the number of keystrokes and clicks to the server whenever you tell it to. It can generate keystroke data like this, but the data is stored locally.

I think their most effective move would be to black out google.com search, because that's what most people see. I see diminishing returns in shutting down their advertising and enterprise services.

No war? What would you have done if you were a leader of a European country at the onset of WWII? Just let Hitler come in and take everything? Or were you just referring to modern wars?

Yes that's his point I believe. It's ok for us wealthy nations full of meat lovers. But a billion starving people say otherwise. (At least that's my understanding of the debate).

I agree with your point. I'm a student and can't dream of making that much money right now. However, the "point at which you become an out of touch complainer" is different for everyone. To use a cliche example, starving African children
