I would agree with you... unfortunately, there's only one thing that complicates the matters: nuclear weapons. If attacked, NK would of course be overwhelmed - but not before doing some massive and catastrophic damage to their near and not

Personally, I used to work in finance, so I had to know it - but I think it's essential knowledge for both employees and entrepreneurs. Employees - well, if you're planning to make a career in some big company, you might as well invest in 4

Wow. If LinkedIn was public, I would SO short them after reading that.

I've heard many people say the same thing, but I'm not sure I would necessarily believe them without proof. Him, I believe.

Yeah I was wondering the same thing... After reading their website though, I got the impression cointernet.co guys are trying too hard to convince how much of a hit .co will be. Also, isn't there a plan in the works to make everything and a

That makes a lot of sense, as Windows boxes are not really good for web development, but I really hope they still test everything on Windows, extensively. Even though their software is web-based, there's still difference in behavior on diff

I guess it's "in style" now to make fun of "Perl is unmaintainable" statements. Sure, it's cool and a lot of fun, until you're the one that has to maintain it and make changes to it.

I was in a similar situation, and my advice is: run. fast. now. If someone sucks at sales, they're going to suck at sales. Of course, one could learn sales etc - but the ONLY value that he brings is sales, and he's supposed to be good at it

Everything that you said is correct. However, the majority of people that use the Internet are different. I don't have any data to back this up, but all the non-tech people I've ever interacted with think that "unprofessional looking = un

Also - Google, Facebook, Youtube, Yahoo, Bing, etc are very short. "Duck Duck Go" isn't.

Hear, hear. Last time I've had Verizon was 3 years ago, and I got service EVERYWHERE, and I live in the same area as the author - NYC/Manhattan. Of course, everyone's experience is their own, but I think their network couldn't have become t

Yep, same here. He was one of the few Western authors translated and widely published in USSR, so his books were very popular.. I destroyed a few reading cover-to-cover, making notes, etc. There's nobody out there who could convey the enthu

You're right - meat was highly desirable food and eaten whenever possible, HOWEVER - up until the 19th century, unless you were in the very small percentage of rich/privileged, you got a chance to eat meat once a week - tops. And in the agr

Start your own business. Every day I have to do a lot of intense thinking... Every week, long term strategy and planning. Pretty much every business email that I write or phone call that I make requires a lot of thinking and analyzing. Espe

First, that doesn't happen all the time. Another very common scenario is when foreign students come to America, get the best education they can get in American universities, and go back home. And second, what's wrong with that scenario? I b

Actually, I think all the talent infusion from non-WASP places will be what saves us. Even with all the faults of our immigration program, H1B problems, etc, we are still getting a very healthy dosage of best foreign talent, which are start

Congratulations!!! That's exactly the feedback I got from my former coworkers as well - 95% were very happy, and had the "well, at least someone is getting out of here for the better things" attitude. Keep in mind though - you'll have to be

This is totally amazing. I predict 10 million in the first funding round.

I also can't figure out why in the world would anybody use this - neither me, nor anybody I know, regardless of age/sex/other characteristics. But then again, I said the same thing about Twitter when it came out and I was wrong.

While I'm definitely willing to give the author a benefit of a doubt, I don't see how he says his writing got taken out of context... In fact, context is even worse than the quoted words. “What is my position on pedophilia, then? It’s reall

Uh, really? NOBODY I know in Russia/former Soviet Union uses Jabber. Everybody uses ICQ and some use Skype.

It's not crap. It's the most popular IM service in Russia and a whole bunch of other countries. I use it daily to talk to friends and business colleagues in Europe, and ICQ is the only service they use (although more technologically-oriente

Wow I had this professor in Stony Brook... I think my first computer science class, too, if memory serves me correctly, it's been a while. Gotta check this book out. Thanks!

Blippy is claiming it only published CC numbers of 4 users, and it's from beta test. http://blippy.posterous.com/blippy-and-credit-card-numbers There's also this: "While we take this very seriously and it is a headache for those involved,

This is great. So far I have resisted moving all of our repositories from self-hosted SVN to Github only because it's not free, and I don't see enough benefit to pay for it. However, we could definitely use Assembla

I'm really tired of political bias sipping into everything I read on topics not related to politics. It's such bad business too. Why would you make a snarky comment risking pissing 50% of your readers off, when you can simply contain yourse

I couldn't agree more. I would LOVE to use something that's open vs something that's closed. Ubuntu instead of Leopard. Android instead of iPhone. OpenOffice instead of Microsoft Office. Gimp instead of Photoshop. Problem is, all those thin
