I live on the N line and it makes 5 stops in a 7 block stretch near my house. It's insanely slow and frustrating.

Muni needs to reduce the number of stops a bus/train makes.

Aside from disruption, these tools augment/enhance/enrich their users life in a meaningful way.

Not to mention enlarging the pool of students these academic institutions draw upon and finding additional channels to generate revenue. A rising tide effect perhaps.

*$108 actually. ($9 x 12 months)

The challenge that Android faces is that multiple versions of software/hardware are available to purchase at the same time. While Apple only has one version of the iPhone in stores.

I hope Android succeeds to keep Apple innovating and honest.

What web-servers/frameworks are HTML 5 compliant?

I guess what I'm asking is, can ASP.NET, Apache, Tomcat (etc.) at this very moment spit out HTML5 code?

I certainly would be hesitant to just email them a business plan...While Google itself might not "steal ideas"; What's to prevent an engineer at Google from culling through great ideas and starting up his/her own company?

Or he might turn them down hoping for a better deal down the road...

There are some errors in the sql.

The monthlyRevenue field datatype should be tinyint(1) with a default of NULL.

I'd venture to guess that all big tech corps abuse the Temps system. A few years back Microsoft had to pay up for denying temporary workers benefits. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E02EED8133FF...

And I'm guessing terminating temporary workers are not counted as layoffs.

As soon as I saw the article on another website, I ran to Hacker News...just to read the comments.

Obviously and rather sadly a big drawback of freemium services is lack of support. Before signing up for these services,you need to ask yourself a question: How long can I live without accessing my data?

If the answer is "Not very long" then you will have to crack open your wallet.

I'd like to hear the other side of the story as well. I certainly hope it's not true.

As a developer I'm worried that these open web platforms are not so open. I worry that my data will be hijacked, that my apps will be locked to one vendor, that my provider might be my main competitor.

I have no problems with double taxation. Just don't compare capital gains vs. Income tax. Which is what the blogger is doing. When in reality the equation is: Actual Tax Paid = (Income Tax + Capital Gains tax).

1.) The money you've invested was already taxed. 2.) The money you received as dividends was taxed through corporate income tax.

I have no qualms about paying captial gains tax. But the blogger's comparison of capital gains tax vs. income tax is incorrect.

Absolutely correct! It's double taxation!

I work at a 10K+ employee company which is moving over to gMail, gCalendar, gTalk and gDocs.

gMail and gCal are a potent combination.

You can buy the Berkshire B stock (BERK-B) which are more affordable at $4500 per share.

Even if GE does poorly, Buffet will still get his dividend. Also bear in mind, dividends paid by most corporations are taxable as long-term capital gains as opposed to income tax.

All in all, a solid bet by Buffet. Perhaps it's time to investigate Berkshire Hathaway stock.

There's an excellent lesson to be learned here. The level of passion and technical competency the detailer displays in his quest to clean the car is what's also needed for a startup to succeed.

Soon to be replaced by the L language.

1) Make the search box on main page bigger and move it up a little bit.

2) I want larger navigation page numbers and icons. Center it once again. Maybe put page numbers on top as well.

3) Make safe search on/off a toggle switch. I don't want to go to another page and then hit save etc.

4) black/blue motif just hurts my eyes.

5) Ditto with the font

It's amazing how ingrained searching Google is for me. When I want to advance the search page, I instinctively move my cursor to the bottom right of my screen. Whenever I search on Yahoo or Live the presentation of the results just seem visually painful.

It uses Linux and XP Home? I'm confused.

While MSFT might wage war against Open Source, they recognize it's a deep pool of talent to recruit from.

Now if they could hire away the key Apache developers, they would in a heartbeat. They did it to Borland in the 90's. That's why Ballmer was tossing around chairs, b/c he saw Google using the very same strategy against him.

At the end of the day Money talks!

Can I get a hookup too? I've been looking for decent online storage site all week long. hdehal at gmail.

...and he only wants to pay you with a free tablet!

In freshman science labs, students often repeat classic experiments from the past. Even if the experiments are outdated, the idea is to learn techniques and methodologies that are relevant even today.

I grant you the simile is imperfect, but I'm a firm believer that learning C/C++ can make you better.

As long as the desire for excellent content outweighs the desire for growth and the users vote down irrelevant stories, then we are good to go.

Any recommendations on 'disposable' credit cards?

I'll summarize it further: Let's pick on obscure errors to get this blog posted on as many websites as possible to generate traffic.

Contributing to OSS would definitely make a candidate stand out in my eyes. Not to mention that you can also review his/her code. Few things in life are more annoying than interviewing a candidate who's fancies himself a programmer b/c he read a "Program ____ in 24 hours".
