I did this for about 5 or so years, earnt great money building corporate web services, general business automation stuff, and web sites. I stopped as I grew bored of dealing with large enterprises and general depression from the repetition

Because they want to do business in Germany? Or do you assume that corporation rights are more important than individual rights?

No idea if you're being sarcastic or not. If not its quite common, thats what PR companies do, usually they just do positive stuff, but when you have a lot to loose it can go negative. Having worked in big media you learn very quickly that

To late they lost my trust when facebook brought them, and even rumours of facebook behaviour was enough to walk away. My account is now gone, same with atleast a dozen people I've talked to in the last day or so. I'd hazard a guess the qui

Storm in a teacup. Its no different to Windows CE, or a plethora of other similar named products. Most people who would be confused will no doubt have a sales person to explain the situation. Most other people will have a clue and this won'

Except the numbers Microsoft have been throwing about say Windows 8 is outselling Windows 7. The key is if it continues to sell well, chances are it will thanks to OEM deals. Anecdotally a large percentage of people I know have upgraded, I'

That is the only time I write unit tests. I never write them first run of software, but when I start changing the product down the track maintenance/upgrades/bugs/what ever I'll add tests to make sure things don't explode, and hopefully I'm

Having growing up in a metric country and lived in Britain I must admit its very nice having 60miles per equalling 60 minutes of driving for long trips. Being able to say "I'm 45 miles away from X I'll be there in 45 minutes" without having

Oddly enough Im only getting suggested friends and friend requests exclusively from Indonesian. I have no idea why, Ive never been to indonesian, and I know no indonesians. Something with Facebooks suggestion processes are seriously broken

If you read this article http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&obj... he specifically states "Prime Minister John Key has revealed the GCSB was acting without his sign-off".

That is exactly what I mean ;) Pretty getting a notification that a drone is near is not going to save your life. For one thing any drone coming to kill you is unlikely to be spotted until its to late. And places where it could be useful I

Totally disagree, its a major part of why I brought an iPhone over anything else (as a consumer). Anything hooked to me financially I want locked down, and with the near field stuff creeping in day by day I'd prefer things to be getting tig

If you're from .net background you'll (probably) already be familiar with MVVM (Knockout's approach)... its how the Silverlight framework is designed to function (and its no accident that MS got behind Knockout for this reason). Unfortunate

Well its the difference between being skeptical about things, and being a skeptic. One is a gut feeling you shouldn't accept things, and the other is a mind state/religion. With one you can accept you where wrong, with the other you just ch

I understand your point, but 'evil do-ers' break existing laws then this could be considered evidence. I'm fairy sure a mix privacy & contract laws in my country would hold companies subject to this as its stands if you didn't agree to

It will make all the difference in a court case when you have specifically denied consent and someone has continued to do something. If you want to get pedantic about it just being text, all law is just text, books upon books, but its the e

I totally disagree. I get a lot of people saying crap to me about being smart or intelligent, I even got bugged into joining MENSA by other members. I still hold that I'm not really smarter than other people. Most people are average, I get

Starting at 10c CPM, if every user viewed one ad... $405, most sites have 3 ads per page so $1200 if every user logged in during one day. Better targeting and click through can get that CPM up, most places I know of managed a consistent 40c

Well via my ex employer I can get $25 CPM, and ad sense is around $0.40 CPM on average. Its just foolish to use google advertising IMO

I doubt it, some CPM on things like travel sites are easily $25, 3 adds per page, you browse for say a fortnight looking at holidays you'll easily hit your 1000 views/$25 mark

I think with my privacy tools installed its only Facebook that has any tangible data against me. Linkedin would be next. Google+ I'm afraid serves no purpose for me, few of my friends use it, and everything else doesn't require an account t

I'll call bull shit on this. Its a great temptation to check it when its just there. I check mine a lot. But when I'm busy I can easily go an entire week without missing it. I spend easily 80 hours per average week on a computer so I guess

Indeed, I had gotten back from a fortnight holidaying around Croatia and flew into Gatwick in Britain on an Irish passport (with a New Zealand accent). I got stopped at the EU entry and demanded I explain because my passport was fake. Later

But so what? very few websites are much more than CRUD + validation with some analytics thrown in to make money. If you're lucky there maybe some curly business logic to deal with, but generally not. The main difference between one company
