   Except that the immigrants there are not starting businesses. They do not integrate and instead are a drain on social services. Sweden's immigration policy with regards to refugees has been far too liberal, and now they have problem ghettos

   I find it very intellectually dishonest to compare Scandinavia and the United States, or any other large country for that matter. * All in they are 26 million. The US is 310 million. * The US is geographically HUGE with millions of sq

   I, too, have run through several of these apps. I'll continue -- axure, keynote, indesign, and others. All with the same problems described. I've finally arrived at pencil, paper, and a basic PHP,Smarty,Bootstrap/Zurb,backbone framework tha

   Agreed. So much better with a second monitor when I need it. Otherwise alt-tab is fine.

    Skip the line. I'm always amazed what can happen with a witty an well-timed email to the right person. I suggest google stalking some people and make a linkedin account immediately. Once you find your people, send them a direct and brief em

    Thank you for the input. I can see why the backend and operational pieces would be far more important to the people to actually HAVE to manage the site. Maybe this is just a plugin idea...

    You know -- bell bottoms and loud polyester shirts were a fad for a few years. Looking back now it seems ridiculous. I think the same thing about tattoos, except you can take off the bell bottoms, and all that remains were some embarrassing

    I think the downvote option appears after you have a certain number of karma points. 500 or so?

    It's always encouraging to see others find similar solutions. I've been working on a asset management tool that dealt with thumbnail generation. Only I've done it in PHP. First, I came across timthumb[1], but it was a little too heavy for m

    This is alarming. Gambling laws in the US are antiquated and intellectually dishonest. It is unfortunate the Wire Act of 1961 was written more to stop organized crime than it was to actually help regulate gambling. The language in this piec

    Not joining. I like paper, and I don't care if some think it is wasteful. I like reading without a screen. I like the feel in my hands. It does not require batteries or electricity. I can doodle and jot in the margins. It spreads out on my

    Apple has done banner ads in the past. I remember a particularly attention-grabbing campaign they did a few years ago on the NYTimes home page. It was a fairly creative piece.

    I will take a few minutes to relay my experience: I used to be a partner in a company that shipped 1000+ packages a day with fedex. I ran the websites that sold those products, and I made sure to take about 30 minutes a day in the warehouse

    Yeah -- this is no different than geeksquad or any other computer repair place. Going back in time I used to know people who worked in a photo lab that did the very same thing. I wonder, what regulations or laws are in place at the state an

    Are you sure you really want to maintain a VPS mail server? I've got a little shared hosting account priced at $7.50 / 3 month. (yes, thats ~$2.5/mo) that hosts email for about 25 domains. I use the plesk control panel to setup addresses, f

    OP - quit your whining. Sounds like the country mouse is complaining about life in the city. The City moves fast, and it looks like you were not moving fast enough. Stop with tired metaphors of "small town rules and old world business." Pr

    Agreed -- channel sales work where you don't have that expertise (ie - government, oil-gas, etc). However, my points addresses direct-to-individuals is where this model works well. I think you read more into my comment that was really there

    The title of the Article misses the real innovation. The real gem of the article is telling the story of how manufacturers now go direct to public via the internet, thereby cutting out he middlemen. I am an advisor to a company that enables
