No labels at all just on the demo form. This isn't 1996 where one can make shitty HTML forms for shits and giggles. People expect high quality forms with labels nowadays. As others have said: dealbreaker. Not going to use it.

My only experience with indian coders is their listings on freelancing sites that bid very low. Far lower than would sustain a person in the west. 200$ to make a copy of Gmail. Stuff like that. My question to y'all is: why is it that I

I'm having a very hard time being as enthusiastic about Bill Gates and his philanthropy as the rest of y'all are. I keep thinking about how he ran Microsoft during the 90's: ruthlessly to the point of being found guilty of ab

At my old job I made the mail server's spamassassin globally trash ALL emails from Linkedin, no matter the content. Nobody ever complained, which kinda goes to show exactly how spammy LI is.

Not logging in via facebook shows an unthemed "Social Network Login Failure" page. If you want to make a facebook app, why not just make a facebook app instead of a facebook app disguised as a normal page?

I enjoy being alone for most of my waking hours, although sometimes I might feel like hanging out with people - but it must be on my terms and for no more than a few hours. Then I need to go back to being alone.
