It should be clear that what we need is more software developers, but people who are able to quickly rise above the level of novice. Generally this is what the interview process is meant to weed out.

Why does it matter if he's black? I'd probably treat him the same way I would if a white guy with a felony history and a shady look walked in. And ultimately culture fit is about more than someone's appearance.

I don't believe the delivery cost was passed to the customer. They also needed to send someone physically to the dealership to negotiate and get the vehicle. And get a truck there to drive the car where it was going. These costs aren&#

My last car buying experience was easy. I just called dealerships and told them what I was buying and when and had them bid against each other for my business. Ended up getting a great price below invoice and only had to call six dealership

I heard a story about a year ago of someone making a site online to see if this was viable. People ordered cars, and they would get them from the dealership and truck them to the house. It wasn't a scalable implementation, but they wer

These people are technology people, and good speakers. But I think it's a bit naive to assume that translates well into running a massive corporation like Microsoft. The skills needed there would be completely different.

This enables them to offer an upsale for an unlimited package in the future, which is what ISPs here in Canada have begun doing. I pay extra for unlimited, and I need to since my family uses HD Netflix to watch TV, and I download a lot of e

I think this idea will appeal to people who can't eat -- such as those with cancer -- as an alternative to products like Boost and Ensure. I can't see myself or any of the people I know replacing food with a drink, but I definitel

I love Knockout. This is awesome news. The thing I really like about Knockout is that I don't find the complexity to ramp up as much as it does in Angular. It's also super easy to just insert it into any page and use just the func
