This thing has been floating around for years--and I see it in some classic gamer group on FB or Reddit a couple of times a month. Can anyone point me to a change.org petition that made any difference whatsoever?

At one point, a lot of my consulting business was figuring out code like that, that others have written.

Make money by finding clients or customers to pay you a higher rate than it costs you to produce something. Conceptually it isn't that hard. Putting it in practice is not always easy. I imagine a data science business would be a servic

+1 for the E-myth, a must read for anyone who wants to run a business.

Which book are referring to? Human Relationships or the Dale Carnegie book?

Definitely interesting; I wonder how LASIK and PRK fit into the picture.

In my version of the world, podcasts and YouTube video tutorials were alive and thriving 10 years ago; I'm not sure why they would suddenly kill conferences.

Burning out and quitting my job with no plan. Through word of mouth / networking I got a few consulting gigs and things snowballed and I've been doing that for 18 years. When dealing with short-term clients you learn how to swallo

I think arguably, both options are correct. It is probably valid for a game publisher to claim copyright on the game's music--assuming they created it for the game [as opposed to licensing it]. I also believe that a playthrough video p

LOL! I thought that too, but I do not own the copyright on the game or the sound effect.

by reboog711 9y ago
That's no longer the case. I post a bunch of game playthrough vids and there are a lot of options to contest claims like that now. I had a recent one where the sound effect from a game released in the 1990s was claimed as being part o

On the Internet no one cares about punctuation or grammar.

My own anecdote; 12 years of Catholic School, graduated HS in early 90s. In my Freshman year of High School, the English teacher gave us a grammar test on the first day to see where we were. Two people passed [including me--I got one quest

I have not heard of 'be a multiplier, not an adder' Can you elaborate?

I got my unit on initial release, so have had it for roughly 2 years. It was hit or miss for the first 3 months, but various updates solved all the issues. It's been running like champ ever since.

Technically, 3 of them because they had a mini-refresh of the "Surface Book with Performance Base" around 1 year after the initial release.

If I download a W9 from the IRS web site I can fill it out directly using Acrobat. I'm pretty sure the free reader is all you need. I guess I'm not understanding the niche you fill. Good luck with it, though.

I'm really confused. Is this intended as a programmer's tool? Or as an end user tool? If I understand it, create an HTML form, submit to server, spit back PDF. This has been built into ColdFusion for about a decade, and it is t

You sound like Manager material. Or maybe Entrepreneur. In the real world it is perfectly legitimate to 'hire someone' to do your work for you and claim it as your own.

From a purely legal and promotional standpoint, Guacamole is more likely to be trademarkable than "Apache Clientless Remote Desktop Gateway". I prefer descriptive names too.

In fairness the bulk of The Millionaire Next Door subjects owned their own business and could often pull in salaries of $500K+ per year.

I see that now. His space between no and SQL confused me.

by reboog711 9y ago
What makes you think SQL didn't exist 15 years ago? SQL has been around since 1974 according to Wikipedia. There was a ton of SQL Work during the first dot com era of the mid-90s. On another note, I did a lot of Lotus Notes working du

I try to make my Desktops last for 10 years before replacement, but I've been known to replace components along the way. Probably wouldn't be good for a hard core gamer, but for Quickbooks, Email, and MS Word, I seem to be survivi

As always talk to an accountant. But, the 'deduct expenses' will help reduce taxes.

No link, but the gist in the US is this: 1) Start Business 2) Get Real Clients to buy your stuff 3) Deduct Expenses 4) Pay 40%* of whatever is left over to the Government * The 40% number can go up and down depending on your income amount [
