That's actually a very good idea! I swear I could save a lot of time by not having to cook and would love to have some homemade cooking for a change (rather than TV/Microwave dinners)

That's true.. but they're only given a tiny percentage of your salary. So, a monthly increase of $200 may go a long way for the OP during the initial stages of starting out in life, but that $200 might only materialise to (say) $20 increase

I'm using Java on xp-dev.com. I did run through a bunch of frameworks (Spring webflow, Wicket, Struts), and just decided to rollout a home grown one. See, I'm still two minded and really really undecided whether Java is a good or bad progra

The problem with spotify is that its only supported on Windows and Mac, and the only way to run it in Linux is via Wine. This is miles better and it just embeds into the browser which is nice.

You are spot on . Twitter has an asymmetric follow model, whereas Facebook tends to be guided towards smaller closed networks. Here's where I learnt about "asymmetric follow" : http://www.redmonk.com/jgovernor/2008/12/05/assymetrical-fol..

This is really weird - how can anyone actually force a company to continue a service ? That's as good as saying that Sony should start making old school Walkmans again. If a product or service is not profitable for a company, it is correct

If this is true, its a real pity. Music industry is really though business to go online. It's essentially trying to tie two very different business models together. ITunes got the magic right, but even that took a bit of wrangling.
