Is there some advantage for suing in Texas? Twitter was sued there by a Texas company which makes sense, but a Toronto company doing so as well.

If I went back or could start over, I would study two or more fields that interested me making sure that they weren't closely related. I'd do this because it's not enough to know how to make good tools for programmers. Knowing what program

I'd be a farmer. I raise blueberry bushes as my weekend hobby right now and doing it full time I could get some animals.

This article is from May 2004. I don't see how dated information like this is relevant unless there is a follow up study.

My advice is to bill hourly whenever you can because the client won't express everything they want done initially. This is because they don't know everything they want until they have part of it. Just think about doing a job for yourself

I've worked in the residential construction space several decades as a surveyor, draftsman and software developer. I tried with some friends to approach the whole workflow from customer contracts through plans, estimates and purchasing to

Agreed Snow Crash is very good. It along with Diamond Age are my favorite of his works. The Baroque Cycle is too long for what it is and might have crushed my spirit to read his work any longer. I advise avoiding it unless you are an avi

I think you get free wireless for the entire lifetime of the device. Some of the cost must go toward that.

I don't know about everyone, but I have a limited number of hours that I can focus on any single task before I need to take a break. If I didn't have this, then I would find something else to distract me. It is a lot easier for me to pull

The Memphis airport, like many airports, is constantly under construction. Construction projects take years. For an airport that is cargo first, passengers second, they've done a good job of squeezing in passenger facing improvements. Bag

Also, FedEx didn't publicly call the guy out or try to punish him. An employee sent him an email and cc'd their director. The employee's email got leaked out somehow later. http://blogs.zdnet.com/collaboration/?p=189 http://shankman.co

PR firms are supposed to spread sunshine. That's the market they're working to make money in. I think FedEx's message was don't hurt our image when you work for us. You should know that when you are the vice president of a PR company. A

I'm from Memphis and I used to work at FedEx. I'm really proud right now of the way that FedEx handled it. People need to realize that you can't know a city unless you live there for a long time. There are bad things about it, but there a

I think year round warmth makes you soft. I used to live in south Florida. I moved there in the winter and was wearing shorts when it was in the 60s while everyone else was wearing jackets. I laughed at a friend of mine for saying it was

Maybe it's because I've been up all night dredging through PayPal's api docs trying to figure out what version it's at, but as soon as I saw this I thought about a bunch of penguins ordering different things in a Baskin-Robbins. Linux... It

I like doing things on the cheap so I think you should prototype your software on something of comparable size to the device you want and see if it's even usable before you dive into a bunch of hardware. If you want to work with something y

I think the number of widely published books on any subject is an indicator of how much money publishers think can be made more than how good the thing is.

I think because of the way import works, that a reload wouldn't update anything that the module you're reloading imports. $echo -e "def foo():\n\tprint 'bar'" > a.py $echo -e "import a\ndef bar():\n\ta.foo()" > b.py $python

I've always felt that MMORPG companies really missed out on a market opportunity by not having auction sites tied to their game for the trade of goods. A 3% cut of $2 billion is a lot better than spending time trying to fight it.

One of my first experiences with letting a domain expire was with a domain called catbattle. I figured no one would pick up that name because it's stupid. It's been parked by the next person for 5 or 6 years now as a jump page for lots of

Exactly, it says that at the top of the paragraph. "For nearly 150 years, the known fundamental passive circuit elements were limited to the capacitor (discovered in 1745), the resistor (1827), and the inductor (1831)... He proved that mem
