It's very expensive That is exactly why biggies like Microsoft should fight it out, because they have boatload of cash at their disposal. Today they pay one troll. This will set a precedent, and soon they'll end up paying more and more

Surely, Kapersky can't be bigger than Microsoft and other companies mentioned in the article? If they can fight it out, why can't the big guys fight it out? If only the big guys took a stance, and fight these trolls, it'll be nice.

I understand where the GP is coming from. Teaching kids to code is an absolutely nice thing to do. But segregating based on color or gender or caste is never a good idea. What if a poor white or Asian or Hispanic kid wants to join this cl

Rent is the biggest expense in NYC. If you are in the suburbs, or live in NJ and commute to NYC, then NYC is not as expensive as it is made out to be.

I've found it far easier than ever to get dates, but more difficult to make friends People have ridiculously high standards for friendships than dates. This sounds weird, even writing it, but I've found it to be true again and again. Ma

what if it is not real time, but delayed by a few days or weeks? Will it still hurt profits?

I suppose this space of hosted business dashboards is fairly new (2-3 years?) and services will improve. Last time I checked, Geckoboard wasn't allowing tables and arbitrary HTML. I also played with ducksboard and leftronic. Each of them

Is this similar to the reservations in India (in jobs, educational institutions, voting etc)? If it is, then nothing good will come out of it.

Apartment renting - CL sucks, it is filled with spammers. Brokers charge heavily, and in general, I don't feel like paying a lot of money to a broker, as I don't think they add too much value (it is different when buying a property though)

This is sad. It would have been much better if it had gone to court, with carreon losing the case, and made to pay the legal fees to Inman, and probably a fine for wasting court's time. At least, the charities will get the money - for al

"Ticketmaster's exclusives on venues" Sorry for the dumb question - does this mean that nobody else can book these venues? If that is the case, can't CK (and other comedians) find a neutral venue (or a venue that is not already on Ticketmas

should we upgrade, or wait for the initial reaction from the public? So far, its only the tech crowd that has commented on Win 8, and it seems that people either hate it, or love it

If "highlighting a sex paragraph" makes one a pervert, then "watching a movie on serial killer" makes one a murderer? This title is pure link bait. I wish there are blogs/publications that present facts as facts, and analyze them rational

I really don't understand this - FB has repeatedly shown they don't give a shit about users' privacy etc. They also don't care about breaking stuff. This is not the first time it is happening, and won't be the last. So, Why are people put

What would you call it then!? It's a platform where you share and talk with friends. How is that not communication? When one sends a email newsletter to 50K people, that is also communication. When one blogs, that is also communication.

This reminds me of a story I read as a kid, not exactly a fight against brutal regimes though (don't know if it is a true story either): When shoe factory workers went on strike in Japan, they used a very interesting method - no shouting, o
