I use an adblocker at home but not at work. Honestly, for most of the sites I visit, there isn't much of a difference (anymore). Websites have realized that having fewer high-quality ads is better than having a massive number of crap ads.

Sweat of the brow is not currently and never has been a defense to copyright. Otherwise, copyright on books could be evaded by simply copying a book word for word. The original composer owns the copyright on the arrangement itself. Your i

Judging from the reviews for Curiosity in the Google Play store, it was not time well-spent. (I would provide my own comments on the game, but it insists on crashing before I can do anything with it.) If it is a joke...Mr. Molyneux would h

You might want to check with another financial professional if he told you that withdrawing money from your 401k is not a taxable withdrawal. There are very limited exceptions to the withdrawal penalty, and they are all hardship-based. Lau

The show is awesome, if you approach it as a documentary-style sitcom like the Office or Parks and Rec rather than as a reality show. As a sitcom, the show is pure genious. Especially the last 10 minutes of the second episode, in which the

Definitely important. You only skip the HR process if you have a pre-existing relationship with a decision-maker in the company. Cold-calling can work, but the most likely outcome is getting black-listed if they think you're one of the c
