Probably true all over the world and with sex workers there is the additional advantage of you standing a chance of getting your money's worth!

It is as if it is ingrained in the laws of physics that as the size of a project in money increases, so is the likelihood of overruns in time. Naturally the cost overruns would force costs to rise. No amount of planning or management seems

This is also one of the best ways to teach computer programming. Let also students write programs by hand on paper first. Too many students acquire bad programming habits by brute forcing solutions rather than solving by thinking and resear

The value of a social media site is its user base and one should try and preserve that. Think of it as if you have created an 'economy'. Let the users 'trade' between them and charge a 'tax' like the government!

This will probably be shot down, but I stay focused - and yes get the flow too - by living on coffee, pizza and cigarettes when working on crushing deadlines. Alternate the pizza with your favourite junk food every other day.

PAUSE GOTO http://j3-fortran.org/ It is my premise that every CS course should re-introduce Fortran! It is the oldest surviving computer language. Shouldn't evolutionary forces have wiped it out by now? Fortran and Cobol made America a p

Yes they should be cleaned. (They could have asked any HVAC Engineer to look it up in ASHRAE for them!) Simply, haze in the atmosphere scatters light and reduces the amount of Solar radiation reaching the earth. Dust on a panel has the same

The concept is good, but I believe it needs more work. IMHO the website's 'purpose' does not come out very well on the front page. (It does after you read a bit, but not in the critical first 10 seconds). The call to action (simply to drag

I have been unfortunate enough to have been the General Manager of the Company when this happened. I had no equity. I tried my best to keep everyone motivated and paid myself last to the detriment of my own family. I thought the Captain is

One of the most obvious answers is that the most well known and most successful web businesses have actually based their business on algorithms. For example Google and Wolfram. Although one does not have to be an Architect to build a house,

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and if one considers that PHP started as a templating language and has evolved in what it is to-day the 'awfulness' goes away. For a person with C# background it offers the advantage of extending the lan

Elsevier's attempts are laudable to make Scientific papers a bit more readable on the web. Most people will just download a pdf and print to read and keep! However, I was surprised to find out that their use of Javascript can only be descri

What problems? If there any, they are so minor the advantages by far outweigh these. I have been using it since probably version one and categorically without any hassle. (Even in the pre-WAMP days I never had any serious problems with it).
