I think Drupal was built to be a "content management framework" and not a "content management system". Out of the box, a system like Wordpress is substantially more limiting that a system like Drupal. You see Drupal proj

With language barriers, the people we initially had to deal with had no real capability to determine fault. I think the security people who took down the incident report weren't even the same security who had to deal with the actual in

Having been of a few cruises, I'd like to point out a few things: 1) Listed prices generally DO NOT include gratuities. Low level cruise employees like the cleaning crew, cabin stewards, waiters, cooks, etc. are paid ridiculously low w

It seems like there are two paths to sustainability in a startup: 1) Become profitable early and stay profitable. This gives you the luxury of not relying on outside investment, though the option to take funding still exists. 2) Grow, grow,

Additionally, although many street dealers operate in areas you'd probably associate with being high-crime, the drug gangs are pretty aware that customers need some sense of safety when buying product and don't have any more reaso

Silk Road was not an anonymous marketplace. Buyers had to provide some identity and address to sellers in order to receive shipment. There are obvious geographic limitations with how anonymous a person could be while still receiving the goo

The author went through the trouble of saying he'd eliminate straw-man arguments at the beginning of the piece and then spent the rest of the piece rebuilding the straw man with gems like "MBA thinking" and "MBA's a

But hold on, didn’t I mention one week is not enough for a candidate to be productive and effective? Yes! And that’s why most places have a three-month probation. If I had to change jobs, I'd be MUCH more comfortable taking a week&#x

I did say it wasn't a "great" way to spend time. Lots of shades between that and "soul sucking".

by ssharp 13y ago
I don't really relate to the "soul sucking" idea of a commute. I work about a little over an hour away from my office and work from home several days a week. It's a nice trade-off between being in the office, where inter

I'm not sure what fallacies my post was riddled with. Yes, some of it was opinion. And I never said Kanye West couldn't produce well. I'm not really sure what you're trying to say with the Rick Rubin comment either. Do y

by ssharp 13y ago
Kanye has been pretty honest about his abilities as a producer. He was always a chopped-up samples producer and started bringing in musicians and other producers to layer original instrumentation over his samples on his first album. That st

Thanks for the link. I think with the substantial increased popularity of leased vehicles since the article, the idea that used cars are mostly bad cars isn't as on-point as it may have been. Most "newer" used cars, which mos

Is there anything close to CarWoo for the used car market? I recently purchased a three year old car, and when researching how car dealerships work, it seems like the pricing for used cars is substantially different than new cars, making us

Transportation is still a trade off between convenience and price. I think a lot of the people not living within biking distance are probably also living in an area where public transport is a serious inconvenience compared to other options

by ssharp 13y ago
It would have little effect on bicycle use. Raising gas taxes is going to cost people who have longer commutes substantially more than people who live within reasonable biking distance. The average U.S. commute is around 32 miles round-trip

I'm not even sure if I'd call it a loss leader, solely based on "making it up" in hardware margins. I think you could show that by having much larger %'s of its user base being up to date and adopting new releases f

Once this is out in the wild, I'll be curious to see how people who adopt this for the majority of their diet handle themselves when eating "real" food. It's pretty common for dieters to have serious eating binges when t

I'm not sure if anyone is so binary with their food that they will only give themselves a choice between an exquisite meal or powdered, bland goop. Maybe I'm just not "hardcore" enough. I can crack a few eggs in the morn

A fascinating read. The traditional method of catching drug kingpins has been to flip the lower-levels of the organization until you can finally stick something on the leader. Here, the feds were able to go straight to the source. I'd

If you keep reading, the document later details that DPR contacted this "redandwhite" person, who he contracted to kill the other person, regarding false identifications. That seems to add some doubt to your hypothesis, or at leas

I don't know anything about BitCoin mining, but is there a way to get lucky mining BitCoins where you stumble upon some BitCoins using less computing resources than you should have? In other words, is mining a process open to probabili

This is the price you pay for a currency with: 1) Stability 2) A massive user base 3) An infrastructure to support that massive user base BitCoin has none of those things, so I'd expect a discount on it!
