really? can you expand on this?

by retube 16y ago
Yes, quite. Hotmail and gmail etc offer what are essentially disposable addresses (free to sign up). The _only_ issue with these is that there is _some_ overhead with signing up - a fair amount of personal data required, which whilst can be

Indeed. In fact I'd say 40s or 50s was probably more normal in many industries. In most non-IT industries to start a business you need capital, connections, market experience etc etc - resources not available to the average 20yo.

Right. That makes more sense. But none of these are CS issues - as you say they're engineering ones. Some self-healing conflict resolver otoh is probably closer to a cs problem.

It'd be fairly simple I think: a global object with .info(), .debug() etc methods. You'd have to make x-domain ajax calls to post back the message as the log server would have to run on another port. Various config options to change server,

Isn't this what Tapestry uses for client side error messaging? It's actually pretty useful for including in web-app frameworks: you can alert the developer to framework errors which might go un-noticed if just written to console.log. Of cou

Yeah. I've always taken the same view. Dyson's are not used by comercial cleaners _anywhere_. A big brand for pro cleaners is Henry. You can buy for a £100. The suction is immense, they're super durable, you can get the head into the smalle

Inertia is a very, very subtle concept. Few people (incl myself) really have a good understanding of what is meant by inertia and why it is so perplexing. There are some great examples I've come across in the past that demonstrate, but I'll

It's just reached the end of it's operating life-time. I beleive the Tevatron exceeded it's original design plans re longevity, performance etc and like any piece of technology it's getting out-dated. It's just not worth running it any more

Ex particle-physicist here. Extremely unlikely to be a new force of nature, given the energies that the Tevatron operates at we'd have seen some evidence for this before - and nothing has ever suggested there might be something like this in

Not really. It's major brands, by definition, that spend a lot of time investing in and developing their new media presence.

But that's my point. Your form doesn't do any filtering at all. Anyone can submit/apply. Any submissions you get you're going to have no idea as to how reputable/qualified/credible that candidate is. So how are you going to know who to put

That's completely absurd. There could be a 1,000 very legitimate reasons why even a serious or committed candidate will not want to accept an offer: the pay's not right, the role isn't quite right, there's not enough responsibility (or too

3) Why? All I've got to do is fill out your very simple form. Hardly the same as building a dedicated site targeting a particular company, and no harder than just applying directly. If anything it's easier: no CV, no covering letter etc.

How does this work for art though? I mean you want to see the icon/graphic/design/whatever before you pay for it. Also - once you've been redirected to the page, what's to stop you taking the link and sharing it yourself? Also also: if I've

I don't understand. The difference between "ads" and "advertising" appears to be one of targeting/focus. It's hardly a revolutionary insight that the more targeted the ad the higher the conversion rate. And the author appears to be taking i

Yes an easy and obvious position to take, although not backed up with any evidence I note. You realise that Al Jazeera - not twitter or facebook - was a big driver of the recent political events in the north africa and the mid east, and cau

Factorisation is the common example. You'll be able to factor gigantic numbers like an RSA public key pretty much instantaneously, as thanks to a qubit's super-position of states you can operate on all possible states at once. But in genera

I agree with your points on frameworks. I deplore the over-use and reliance on huge swathes of code to accomplish what is a simple task in vanilla code (want to select a div in js? use jquery - come on!) But this is not an affliction limite
