For many people, their current job might not allow this (this is true especially for those who are on visas). Also, many people might not want their current employers to know about their job search, and using a week of their vacation time f

Fair point. It's also possible that maybe the contractors' manager knew or was complicit. I just find it difficult to believe that multiple such infractions (Mocality, OSM, fake Chrome reviews etc.) can all be blamed on rogue/stupid contrac

Yeah, since contractors willfully, and without any prodding/directives/orders from their employers, like to spend their hours in labor-intensive tasks that just happen to be vandalizing their competitors' data. I wonder, under what tasks we

An automatic green card for immigrants who earn more than $100k annual is a much better idea instead. Such people are very likely well educated and contributing at a high level to their respective professions. They should be exactly the kin

Sorry to be harsh, but I have to agree with ovi256, I don't think your app looks beautiful. In particular, your fonts look boring (Arial?), there needs to be some small padding for the ingredients on the Random page, the neon-lighting on th

Anyone knows why most of the "s" characters have become "f"? eg: beft, fucceeded etc. Interestingly, nothing else seems to be wrong (at least I didn't spot anything else). And it's not even consistent, eg: crofs (instead of cross, so only o

I agree with you, but I think that this was within the 30-day permanent-delete-from-trash window. If you are saying that the the 30-day window is too long, that's a reasonable opinion. Maybe Gmail could offer a user-settable window length,

For some reason, RailsCasts.com is not loading up at all for me. Am I the only one seeing this? If it helps, I am using Chrome 14.0.835.186 on a Mac OSX Snow Leopard.

Have you ever considered that people might want to do a startup because they want to build something of their own? Not for the unlikely potential money (or not necessarily for it), but because they want to see their product/invention used b

FWIW, my 2 cents: 1. I thought PG's informal speaking style was actually quite cool, no issues with that. However, he did seem a bit distracted. At times, it felt like he wasn't sure what he wanted to say next. 2. There were too many people

I agree with most of your points, but I don't think #1 (family-centric society) is the problem, or even a direct driver of corruption. If you were referring to nepotism, then I think that exists all over the world. An overall corrupt climat

IMHO, Amazon's free collection that comes with a Prime membership is quite horrible. Or maybe you like different stuff than me. And their interface on Roku is even worse - ugly, long lists of movies with no way to search or skip through the
