I would rather be paid less an hour if it was made up with PTO days Part of the point of the article was that this is what happens. Your work is worth a certain amount for which you are getting paid, regardless of how it is amortized ove

I agree, when you consider when products were released and compare it to similar offerings at those times, many Microsoft products are (or were) "decent". I would add these: - Windows 95: Not perfectly stable or technically very groundbre

Avoiding reboots in definitely preferred. I've heard very good things about Mac's sleep speeds, but I have a home built PC and Lenovo ThinkPad that do ok. They take around 5-10 seconds to go from in or out of sleep which is fast enough th

Wish I could watch it. Am I the only one who can't stream a full video from YouTube half the time? Either it doesn't start at all, or quits streaming half way through.

It does seem too late for them to pull off something like they did with IE6 versus Netscape, but I could see their genuine efforts with IE9 keeping them from getting thrown to the wolves by average users. Many people still using IE regular

The thing about Opera is, it only has around 2.5% of the market. IE9 will probably have over 30% of the browser market within two years, which is a major factor when thinking about any web development, especially with HTML5 features like c

The weighting from this facebook poll is not based a bunch of well-developed knowledge but just guesses at what to do. As mytype clarified: we do weight the sample not based on guesses but on official data about the gender, age, and pers

You're saying there are no customers of Office Depot that make a total of $600 in purchases in a given year with means of payment other than a credit card (e.g. cash, purchase order, or check)? Seems quite unlikely.

I do hate optical media, but the problem I have with this is that adequate 10mbps+ connections are still hard to come by in a lot of places. Adequate in the sense that if you have a few people in the house using the network at the same tim

This really implies other rights for the requirements to access the broadband connection. Shelter, electricity, computer, etc, would all be needed for someone to realize this legal right. Will these also be provided by Finland to its citi

I agree with your preference, but just curious - is a return considered a goto? I've not thought so, but I could be wrong.

24fps is not "the most you need to completely fool the eye." There's a reason gamers want high fps; because humans can definitely perceive the difference.

>We all know that they'll get the lion's share of what's left of RIM and Windows mobile in a year or two. I disagree - I think Android devices will experience more growth than iPhone OS (or iOS) in a year or two.

I define a "good idea" as something that is possible to realize; practical and realistic. If it's not practical business decision, it's probably not a good idea.

I think you can avoid having it display on every ajax call by setting the bind_to_ajax = false. Then, just manually call the show() or hide() when you want to. Documentation: http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyloader/do..

So I could take my credit card with no balance, run up the debt to its limit (11K-ish), make no payments or anything and my bank wouldn't have a loss? There's plenty of ways they can lose.

So the creditors should just take the loss? That would make credit more expensive, perhaps prohibitively so, causing less people to get into the problem in the first place. That's bad for the industry though, not to mention people's insat
