I've published a few flash fiction pieces on http://365tomorrows.com/ but nothing to get excited about. Those pieces are short enough that I can write one out in one sitting, then I let it sit for maybe a week and then I go back and edit

Since you asked, the ones that jumped out at me were: "aweful" (should be "awful") "freckin" (should be "freaking", though that might have been deliberate) and "lifes" (should be "lives"). Does your CMS not allow you to use spell check? Mo

I don't deliberately block ads, but I do block Flash and Javascript for that reason. (If you want me to see your ads, make them work without Javascript, thankyou very much.)

Nope. "I won't take the blame" still doesn't indemnify me against damages. "what is good and fair" has no legal definition in any jurisdiction that I know of, which would scare away any lawyer with half a brain.

So, are you hiring? :-) (Full disclosure: I've been kicking around a very similar idea myself, but never got past setting up a landing page: http://www.mediaindie.com/ )

The "debacle" is in the way the back orders were handled, not in the fact that it sold out in the first place.

A liberal arts degree, no, but an engineering or computer science degree can be extremely helpful.

Simple answer: Tragedy of the commons. If your nation consists of 1/6th of the world's population, you bear 1/6th the burden of the global warming triggered by your fossil fuel use, but get 100% of the energy output from your fossil fuel us

The "energy trap" as described in the linked article would indeed be terribly troubling in a centrally planned economy. I'm still optimistic (for the moment) that there are private players who would cheerfully make those large investments t
