This is certainly the problem for me, I know a glut of excellent, hard working professional programmers. All of which already have high paying careers. They're young enough to defect, but only if they have a chance to make their mortgage p

Jeeze, I'm doing my best here, C is hard! I will say no single effort has been more enlightening to me regarding computer science than trying to understand C. I highly recommend it to anyone with any programming experience.

That's an interesting point, could it extend to 'employment' too? What I mean is, how do you set up employment that is self sustaining without wealth invested from outside? Is an industry that exists solely to support itself a house of car

This is great, I help run a small business with the hope of starting my own someday. It's heartening to see the experience I'm getting now is almost exactly what you describe here.

Having eschewed higher education for "real world experience", I have to admit I regret that decision. As valuable as working under small business owners has been, years later I wish I'd learned more about technical aspects such as managing

That figure doesn't reflect the number of sales that hypothetically would happen, if piracy somehow was not possible.

Well, "maximize revenue within the context of the law and ethics." leads to a standard of manipulating legal policy however possible and defining subjective values like "ethics" in the a context favorable to an organizations motives. Any co

Seems to me 'morning' people tend to get less sleep in general. I've read that early morning or sleep deprived minds are in a sort of pseudo-hypnotic state, more susceptible to suggestion, able to absorb information easily and less likely t

"this practice is held in even lower esteem and even more discouraged by employers" Individuals taking autonomous rest periods is seen as undermining authority, a tinge of jealousy there as well.

Well that's interesting. I can't help but think internet businesses have been spurred by this lax enforcement. So the real question is should they continue to enjoy this oversight. I suppose the eventual taxation of all online commerce is

"online retailers should be forced to collect the same taxes that brick-and-mortar retailers do." Pretty sure all retailers are exempt from tax on out-of-state sales. But don't let that stop the money grab. I'm personally more concerned w

What's remarkable is that vague calls to undefined actions like this can somehow affect credulity. Apparently the power of meaningless soundbites is enough to provide the image of leadership.

Can anyone with experience recommend this kind of meditation to build discipline? Stress relief and mindfulness are great but not really my goal. I want more focus and energy.

Seems glaringly obvious, the reason Paypal exists is the fluidity it gives to transactions. Visa could simply match features and clean up, but no.

Why bother re-branding? Visa must not put much faith in this venture, or at least wants to retain the option to dump it.

This is why we have a court system. This is also why my local ISP claims to have a "Three Strikes" policy regarding infringement complaints. Through scientific experimentation I've discovered they don't enforce this policy. The point of t

Love my 25" Westinghouse monitor. It's quite well designed and has held up great over the years. After the purchase I got interested in the company, it has a long and interesting history. The thing that sparked my curiosity was simply not

The mere possibility might be enough to ensure co-operation. Warrant-less wiretapping for example. I'd wager the president could direct the telecoms to do this without any kind of legal device and they would capitulate. See telecom immunit

Key input on mobile or touchscreen devices still sucks. Lots of progress has been made but something fundamental could really solve this problem. Here's a good idea that almost gets there: http://gizmodo.com/5047798/blindingly-fast-touchsc

My grocery store has a liquid detergent bulk refill. The down side is only one brand offers this, but it works fine so that's what I use. I drive about 15 minutes out of my way to go to this place, but it's worth it to me for many reasons.

Is Microsoft still subsidizing windows to meet linux system price points? I bought an Ubuntu loaded HPMini9 and saved about one hundred dollars over the windows version. That's the real value in my opinion. Not just at the sale but the in

Not an expert on windows security, but the traditional answer is the fundamental user handling in Unix solves a lot of problems. I admit ignorance to the validity of the claim, a detailed comparison would be appreciated.

I'd like to know how much money is invested in this. Since inception the DHS has been a huge money pit of questionable efficacy. This level of incompetence smells like corruption to me. 40 Billion dollars in funding for 2010. http://www.
