Could it be that somebody else unrelated to ebay and who is interested in that name send you that email? Could they have placed a backorder on that domain name and trying to force you to let it expire? Even if it is an automated mail, I wou

Work hard enough (and smart enough) early enough in your life and you can have an option of taking it easy later in life. If not, you won't even have that option later. Just make sure that you work hard in an area that can help you make mon

I am sorta similar, in the sense used to be more of a introverted/shy person. A tip that I came across in an audio book helped - go early to such meetings when there aren't so many people. Then, the 'circles' wouldn't have formed yet and th

I do a different type of data analysis (one of my core job responsibilities), not anything web related and each of the points made in the article are so true to the one that I do. At the end of day, I guess, all data analysis is similar, it

I can think negotiations as being important for business/entrepreneurship. If this interests you, this is one book I have read and am glad I read. It was good enough to open my eyes on certain ways of the business world. Trump-Style Negotia

few times when the days were very long and I kept banging my head without a solution, getting a bit of rest helped - was surprised how easy I got the solutions the next day ( I think fatigue was a factor there). Another thing I have learnt

It looks like my situation when I joined my current job. My situation: Took up a job that I was not looking for(didn't really think I would enjoy it and that I would have to 'bear it' for 18 months, but it satisfied some of my other criteri

"....mature sciences deteriorate into ideologies...." That is true. Thinking about why this happens.... could it be the vanity of people that causes this? Sticking to ideas or practices because its 'their' ideas/practices/traditions (irresp

What a shame. What would have happened if the head honchos at Blockbuster had copied the models of netflix and redbox as soon as they came up in the market, and aggressively pushed them? or acquired them agggressively? (doesn't it happen al

Though I had meant it in a different way, I do agree with the similarity you have pointed out, regarding organization of both religion and science in general. Regarding the questioning aspect: I would say that all religions originated out o

Whichever religion it is, the typical one or the atypical, whether the threat is of eternal punishment or something else, it all boils down to whether one chooses to succumb to those threats or not.

There is already such a religion: Science.

That is tough, been trying the part time route for almost a year. Realized, if nothing else, the delays in implementing would obsolete the idea. A year ago when I started, there were just 2 major competitors to mine, after a year of working

hmm, somehow it seems, your view is based on a blind skepticism of new technology than facts. I could be wrong, and wouldn't mind being proven wrong if its based on reason, lets see. Can you list some things that take more time now than bef

yup, I happen to be a newbie. And I appreciate and welcome the consideration to educate (no sarcasm intended, mean it).

Based on your location (Turkey) this is what I would do if I were in your shoes: Rather than decide on yes or no based simply on the terms (which might appear ridiculous to those in US), I would check the track record/references of the com

Not trying to be an asshole here, but love pushing logic. I would definitely agree that the importance of experience can never be emphasized enough. The more the better, always. But, even if one were to over simplify this, at the least, it

I would say that every rule has exceptions. And the degree of exceptions to each rule may vary from rule to rule. But if one were to eliminate all rules that has at least one scenario where it could be considered as an exception, this wor

Thanks for posting it. Very nice article. I agree with it very much. End of the day its the "I" or "you" that needs to change. And that's true, it's the habits that needs to change and one needs to have a long term perspective for success i

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be a small set up if one is comfortable with that set up. But if the idea of somebody who wants to keep it small is really good, even if he wants to keep it small there may be soon competitors who are
