Not just that, a lot of computer can't even display it correctly. Maybe twitter could auto-replace it with a small image of the sign, but that might break some twitter applications.

What a strange attempt to solve their problems. Maybe there is something wrong with your system if you can't print money fast enough to keep up with inflation.

They had a part of their library drm-free for a while now. I find it more surprising that they changed their position on their pricing scheme. Didn't they even cancel their deal with NBC because they were not willing to allow flexible prici

Oh, these arguments make my head hurt: > "The same 100 hour project with all the filler code obfuscated by Django or Ruby On Rails now takes 20 hours." Ruby is so awesome that it simply saves 80% of your time? Really? You can't be seri

This is the way I would answered in an interview as well. I guess it heavily relies on the type of town you are from. Even smaller towns in remote areas tend to have a gas station. But I think whats important is not your answer, but how yo

I think the no-arbitrage principle comes into play as well: If there is an (easy) set of rules that you can follow to make money, then there are enought people to act according to these rules so that you can't win anything. Seriously, this

Most of existing on-demand stores for books, shoes etc. offer you only few choices. You can't really decide every detail of the product. The process of designing in a restriction free system can't be done by checking boxes and insering meas

A big part of the bailout plan consists of guarantees and investments. It can be expected that a substantial portion of this money is not "lost", but can be freed at a later point. The real cost of the plan is significant lower than he pred

i've tried it out experimentally in google docs and it looks really good for big numbers. No real proof tho and it might be that the errors counter each other by chance: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pq4tB7LQWN03gF7ImGhIP...

Of course he is allowed to sell the stocks if he wants to. But if he knew more than the other shareholders and sold because he knew the stock would plummet, it's neither lawful nor "right". According to the article, he knew he was not allow

knowing for a fact that the stocks will fall is different from a vague feeling. There's nothing wrong if he had based his decision solely on publicly available information, but if he knew more than the next guy, he's got an unfair advantage

a salon.com article about the motivation of turkers has been posted here not to long ago: http://www.salon.com/tech/feature/2006/07/24/turks/ It's certainly nothing for me, but it somehow attracts a lot of people. Is there something about
