I personally see more of a need for centralizing the Clojure Blogs/News/Articles (i.e. your blog entries have helped me more than any wiki). The real problem is sifting through the Google Group or Google searches. It's tedious. So I can't h

It's never that easy. If your 6 foot 4 inches, at 220lbs, your probably fairly thin and may want to add muscle. In the end if you have very little muscle, regardless of weight, you should add it. It will help you lose fat (ie ripping muscle

I don't think the being a monopoly is as much a factor here as being really big is. And of course being big is why you do business with them, they bring many clients/$ too.

That's all right. Using my Mac I rarely have to anyway... and really wonder if I even need to.

What I got from the post was how arrogant Google has become. Anyone notice that they dress up their opinions with wasted "MYTHS" & "FACTS"? And while the myth statements & facts maybe be true, they don't actually dis-prove the point

@jackowayed (there wasn't a reply link for some probably well known pg algorithm reason), I was thinking for kids in the non-rebellious stage. An eight year old probably does't even need to know. The parent can handle the charging every nig

Understood. PS. You're probably only thinking of the software aspect, but food for thought - If there was a smartphone-to-wristwatch version - I'd buy one right away, and I doubt I'd look at the price tag.

I doubt the company will succeed with a website like that. It looks nice, but has enough problems. 1. It doesn't clarify IF your kid requires a smartphone. Anyone not coming from the the article would wonder if there was 1 phone for the par

I agree. I was going elaborate on how picky , but in the end I figured when he see's an opportunity, he will gauge it relative to the current situation. Which isnt hard to beat :)

I would look for work elsewhere. Since you're working, you can be patient and be picky about the next job. While doing so, things might improve at your current job. And if they don't, you'll be comparing your current crappy situation to an

Curious... How are they planning on handling situations where user created feeds are breaking the TOS? What liability is there upon this company? Below is an example (google map TOS). Not that one could input a google map feed, but it provi
