This same story seems to get rehashed weekly here. Without insight into what the business is, you can't really judge how important a programmer is. For some, it's paramount. For others, it's not as important. Interestingly enough, a lot

It's not like it's some massive, bold undertaking. It's one line in an htaccess file.

The list doesn't really make any sense, which would be okay if it was funny, but it isn't.

His general notion is that the operating system is doomed, which is a flawed argument. Microsoft Office / iWork are still vastly superior to Google Docs. Not too mention that the combination of browser and web software still doesn't "feel

Facebook & MySpace have managed to get people on the internet who wouldn't normally be on it. If you sampled random college students, I wouldn't be surprised at all if most of them care very little (or not at all) about blogs. However

I think it's getting more difficult everyday to get people interested in audio. Unless its music or some sort of premium content such as a quality podcast, I just don't see people getting excited over it.

The principle doesn't translates across mediums. A newspaper interface works in real life but not on the web.

I don't know because every business is different. I'm sure if you're programming all day long you don't want to deal with lawyers, investors, vendors, etc as well. Also, you likely CAN'T deal with them as effectively as someone who might

I think a lot of people fail to understand what an MBA is and who MBA's were in their "former" lives. I don't have any statistics in front of me, but from what I remember looking over, a higher percentage of engineers/technical degree unde

Excellent. Small amounts of self-righteous can be good. Too much and you become annoying and dangerous to people actually taking your advise. Applying your experience and trying to apply it across the board is just plain ignorance. All

>>> There's no way on paper that pizza.com is worth that much at all. The value was clearly established at $2.6 million. I'm sure ad revenue from that domain is significant, well into 6 figures/year.

If you can't maintain your large scale PHP projects, more blame lies with you than it does the platform. Unfortunatley, the ease of getting PHP scripts up and running leads to the bulk of its poor implementation. Is the lesson to make setu

I've never found these web April Fools jokes all that interesting. Usually Google does something that the world geeks out over while I sit bored. April Fools, they ROCK! No, April Fools again, they're dull. Really.

Do you know what else was a "great marketing" ploy by Apple? Making products that were better than their competitors. Customer evangalists aren't created by a marketing team - they are created by making great products. Your cult reference

Keynes quote is well understood by most modern economists. Keynes shifted focus from 100% belief in the long run to a system where we try to smooth out the valleys as much as possible while working towards to long run. I'm not really sure

I don't think people are taking 30% loans to pay of 20% credit cards. First, browsed through a decent number of Prosper listings, but don't recall seeing people asking for rates of 30% of seeing too many listings close at that high of a rat

AAPL experienced significant growth during that 2005-2008 stretch. Volatility comes with the growth. Anyone investing in AAPL during that time should have been buying with the intention to hold and realize the returns on the grwoth. My b

I think it's obvious that the music industry is headed towards an "all you can eat" model to generate the bulk of revenue related to its recorded properties. Either this (doubtful) or a premium on your MP3 player (likely), or something el

I've always been fairly impressed with organized crime's ability to locate new areas to exploit. Then again, how much of an advantage is it to use "illegal leverage"? I'm sure Movable Type would have a larger install base if they could sen
