I understand the sentiment, but I actually like how the fading of down-voted comments functions at present. Morbid curiosity often causes me to highlight severely down-voted items to see what was said. Plus, I'll sometimes up-vote a down-v

One neat observation is that a lot of the time a team member's job is to stand there and unobtrusively wait for another team member to finish what they are doing. I also like how there was no 'dance in the end zone' when it is all done. Wi

This is sad to read, but perhaps an opportunity in disguise. It is a risk for any firm to be highly dependent on one customer for most of its revenue and SETI appears to have been highly dependent on US government funding. It is dangerous t

For you tl:dr types, here is the epiphany: “One of things that I realized is that with traditional advertising, like when you see something like Mad Men or when you see Ogilvy — the geniuses of the ad space — it was all experience, it was a

The comment thread on the article itself are well worth reading.

A small gripe, I know, but when the site offers a choice of seeing the article in multiple pages (aaarrgghh!), or seeing it in one, I really appreciate when the link goes to the 'all in one page' option.

I've a similar question and was interested in answers, but absent any I'll share what little I know. We are looking for a chat solution as well. The current lead candidate appears to be 'Campfire' from 37signals. http://campfirenow.com -

Pricing doesn't have to be rental, or purchase. There is a continuum. For example, Stardock has made a nice niche for itself in skins for Windows, among other products. Their flaship product, ObjectDesktop, costs something like $50. For $
