Every time one of these issues pops up with users crying foul, I can't help but grin, and be reminded of the popup-days of yesteryear. Ah, the good old days - where a video player hijacking your homepage was nothing. People didn't

Just to add, you can do this in an even simpler form and cater it toward your child's age. For example, instead of drawing a detailed maze like that, you can build a dungeon with blocks. It doesn't have to be big. Put some toys in

Btw, what about health insurance? I find that to be the biggest deterrent. You're one random event away from bankruptcy.

There is a fine tactic regarding pacing yourself as a developer/engineer - and this is part of it. I think this really helps stave off boredom, especially the kind that might lead someone to want to quit. Sometimes this isn't poss

I've never trusted wot. They are abused by groups of "wot cops" that organize in the forums and target web sites to bash (deserved or not). As far as the site goes, it looks like they used to be a more generic seo search engi

You'd have to register each domain. For hosting, you could try to find a free plan, like Heroku, and point the domain there. Or you could buy a VPS or dedicated server. I had a Windows dedicated server once for projects like this, but

Always insist on them providing the company name. Most won't provide this without a fight, because they're either paranoid of other recruiters scalping their leads or they feel it's the only leverage they have over you. The o

Or put a dryer sheet in your pocket. Have it hang half-way out. Skeeters hate the stuff. And you smell good.

This is exactly why I had to stop contracting, once children came along. No US health care. Paying out of pocket was $1200+/month for a family plan. It was worth it to take a perm job paying half the rate just to have health insurance.

"huge selling point" is exactly the problem. I liked the post as well, it was very descriptive. But, I feel like he gave up by making it free. I'd be more interested if he can turn it around to profit. Although this was much

It's not the puppy. People used to game Google Adsense by putting their own images next to the adsense blocks in order to get more clicks. MFA sites did this so much, Google banned the practice of using images next to their ads. This is the

Interesting. We're finally back to the 1990's BBS days, with real-time sysop chat. I never understood why AIM and other chat messengers removed real-time typing when we always had that with the BBSes. I suppose it was due to latency or flow
