On a related note, if you love(d) RadioShack, be sure to check out Akihabara ('Electric Town') in Tokyo if you ever get a chance. http://www.kirainet.com/english/radio-center/ . I have never seen so many electronic components on sale in on

I saw a documentary about the UK Police a year or so ago and was interested to see them challenging suspicious-looking people who were using public telephones. Their theory was that most suspicious-looking people have mobile phones these da

One short stay shouldn't have any negative impact in future. Most people understand sometimes things don't work out or you get an offer you can't refuse (in a good way). If you had, say, three short stays in a row, future employers might ge

Can you elaborate on the PayPal isuses? Have you looked at PayPal Authorization & Capture? I am launching an equipment rental site and planning to use PayPal Authorization & Capture to help me take deposits.

Very nice. I would like to be able to see more results at once.

I don't know how I will tell my father. He hasn't upgraded to the internet yet!

Very sad. When I read the headline I thought they might be going after _real_ pirates like the ones off the coast of Somalia. Seems like that would be a more worthwhile use of taxpayer's money.

It would be good if he illustrated his point with an example of an ad optimized for the 84%. Brand awareness? Advertising online to bring people in-store rather than simply driving clicks? What are good examples?

I didn't read it that way, I read it that because he set things up in the way he did, "Effectively, no one could now pay a bribe."

I worked for a small company in Europe selling software into much larger companies. I am pleased to say that over four years, there were only a couple of times when I think we lost a sale because of corrupt tactics by a competitor and even

I am torn on this. For some folks, this will be a wonderful persistent reminder of the deceased and a place to leave memorial messages. For other folks, it could become an awkward persistent reminder that just makes it hard to grieve and mo

I like to see a strong, concise introduction/objectives section which (a) isn't full of buzzwords or B.S. and (b) helps me get a feel for the candidate and what makes them tick.

Yes, project budgets, number of people led, revenue figures are also useful if you can disclose them.

I think the benefits are low but greater than zero. For example, us Brits would be able to buy left-hand drive cars instead of paying more for right-hand drive cars as we do today.

Maybe it's a startup business although if it's a 'rate my startup' post they probably should have said so.

Wooden "Captain's Chair" from an "antiques" place but really just junk from a bar. I sanded it to get rid of the nasty laquer and it looks decent now. Unfortunately it is absolutely uncomfortable and completely unsuitable for sitting here f

I think the point is it would become much less worthwhile to spam the site, at least with 'simple' spam. Stolen credit card numbers are easily available but using them just to spam Craigslist is probably a poor return on investment. Ironica

Another idea: populate ('warm') the cache automatically after server restarts to get up to speed quickly.

I want an integrated solution where I can manage bugs, feature requests and the prioritized backlog (containing both bugs and feature requests). Bonus points if it can manage incidents as well and help me to create bugs or feature requests

The headline is inaccurate. The article it links to is called "Stunningly Awful Demos: Five Things Not To Do in a Demo"

Rather than just collecting data as a reference, I really like the idea of analysing what I've been doing (often wasting time!) and taking the chance to live my life better in future.

That's definitely a good idea when the company operates only in the market you are interested in. However, it doesn't work when the company has multiple revenue streams and doesn't break them out in their published accounts. In that case, i

I don't like to take the fuel hose over to the other side of my car because I don't want the dirty hose to touch the paintwork.

Good point. I haven't listened to high bitrate MP3s through something like an iPod but with a high-end outboard DAC. With a setup like that I believe it could become hard/impossible to tell the difference.

What are you listening on? I expect that most people could tell the difference if they listened on a reasonable quality separate CD player, amp and speakers and compared that with an MP3 player plugged into the same amp and speakers. Unfort
