There is this TV show "Ancient Impossible" which showcases all kinds of awesome things that people built thousands of years ago. The achievements of Romans (along with Egyptians) are the most awe inspiring

Apple is rumored to be working on a watch, correct? May be you could wait for that one :)

I went to a camp for 4 weeks - no internet, tv, phone, books or newspapers. It was surprising how quickly I (and others) adjusted, and did not miss any of those. It was liberating to do physical work, and sit down and talk to people face t

Thank you for answering. Though private and internal, you are still using the data for profit, is that correct? Does it mean that one can't sell the data, but can use it for analysis etc and still profit from it? I saw a service recen

200K words! I wonder how many does an average human know? 5k? 10k?

Not saying you are wrong, but you have to consider this - people who left everything behind to come to the US to work in tech field (even with all the visa problems etc) are typically more educated, have marketable skills than the people po

I think the oversupply is only for educated, young professionals with money (just how many photo sharing, project management etc apps do we need?). There are lots of problems that can be solved at least a little, with tech - but they aren&

Short overview of what he does: He has a wildly popular blog, and he is an affiliate for a few products, most notably, hosting. He makes 30K or more per month, from this one affiliate program. He sells an ebook, something related to green

Just curious, how do sites delete data from backups? If I were a member of a site for say 5 years, do they have some process to delete my information from a backup taken months (or years) ago? Or is it just delete from the db, so backups fr

Depends on where you are. In the U.S, interest rates aren't anything to talk about. In India, my dad gets something like 7% (I think it is more for people over 60)

Don't miss a chance to taste raw coconut water, it is awesome. None of these packaged stuff (at least the ones I've tried) is anything close to the raw one. Drinking out of clay cups - that tastes even better than steel :)

Can you explain this? Why would you be okay with the delivery guy underpaid, but not the engineers? Doesn't make sense, unless I am missing something.

Many people believe in "It is not your fault if you were born poor, but it is your fault if you die poor". It is very hard to make them understand that some people just don't have enough opportunities, even though they are b

I agree. Where I work, they keep a blacklist of companies/recruiters. They will never ever talk to those in the blacklist. This list was built over a period of time by people who worked at different places. So it is fairly long&#x2

Will anything come out of these investigations, other than fines? Fines are useless. How are the going to prevent such things in future?

Can someone explain how this is going to work? They are going to send a handful of representatives to washington - what is the guarantee that those representatives won't change their stand once they get elected (or the money dries up)?

I can't tell if you are serious or joking. How can you simply scrape someone's content and sell it? It would be copyright violation.

we could say the same thing about sports (Michael Jordan etc), film stars etc - pretty much every field has it's share of such people. Regardless of their arrogance, we need such people to move things forward.

This is one blog that always comes up with a variety of stories on different topics, and makes them interesting. Some are serious, some are ridiculous (like this article), but all of them always interesting.

I'm a vegetarian - while I wish everyone else was, it is just not possible. People love their meat too much. Ethics aside, eating meat (at the current rate) is just not sustainable economically (unless the world's population sudd

So what happens if a huge client (like the Chinese govt) says either Microsoft support XP or they drop windows for ubuntu (or something similar)?
