Yeah, so what's the workaround to that 12 months? When you file simply state you were working on it 12 months prior. Not hard to game that at all. I'm sure business ethics will prevail though.

Prior art doesn't matter anymore, it's first to file. http://www.ipwatchdog.com/2011/10/04/prior-art-america-inven... http://www.ipwatchdog.com/2013/09/11/a-simple-gui

Imagine if the government did its job and protected labor instead of capital. What a world we could live in in the "richest" country in the world.

£26 for Domino's. Sounds like he got bent over pretty hard. I can't imagine spending ~$37 on fantastic pizza, much less Domino's.

Yeah, I saw that on the NYTimes. Glad they did it before it fell into the ocean :-)

70 story high rise in Atherton and Belmont! That will be the day :-) I quite liked the Peninsula. SF wasn't really my cup of tea. God forbid people like me that lived on the Cliffs of Despair (Pacifica) and were relatively happy.

Sales reset the property taxes on properties. It was one of a few reasons I didn't buy a home in the Bay Area a few years back. Probably should have, my buddy that bought his house for 500k in the city is sitting on probably 1.2-1.4m n

I live in Oklahoma currently. I have done 5 of the startups in OK, one in CA (SF) and one in Texas. You make choices in life and there are tradeoffs. I don't have kids nor do I anticipate having any. If they come, so be it. I partially

Depends on how you define success and failure. I've had 7 failed startups (#8 is in the process of failing at the moment). I consider them all failures because I didn't end up with FU money. Funny thing is startup 6 & 7 really

American Indian tribes/nations have this down too. Chickasaw is booming here in Oklahoma. That doesn't count all the casinos where money is flowing out the back doors as well.

It's free in your MSDN if you're subscribed. I downloaded them all :-) So if you're a VS user already, it's likely bundled with an MSDN subscription. Just link it to your Xamarin account and you're done.

Facts aren't copyrightable. They scrape everything in the world they can get their hands on.

I've worked with fantastic developers without a degree. Typically, I've had to point out gaps in their understanding of the "why" behind things. I also had these shortcomings because I had an MIS degree. The difference w

Yet companies like LexisNexis get most their data they resell this way.

My PocketPC screamed. 206MHz ARM was amazing in 2003. My wife loves her Band. I offered her the new one but she didn't see any reason to upgrade. If the MS Phone platform weren't such a joke, it would have been a gateway to her ge

Exactly, you want to run something like this you have to scrape like LexisNexis, etc.

The difference is when you work for someone, they can fire you and you can quit. 1 to 1 relationship. When you have a business, you can have tens if not tens of thousands of customers. They can still fire you, but you can fire them as well.

All you have to do is think about it's actual uses. I have degrees in finance and economics. All gold is IMO is a hedge against inflation by tying your monetary policy to the rate at which you can dig some shit out of the ground. Not r

I just realized I'm working on a 5 year old Thinkpad (T420). I upgrade just for the heck of it normally, but I gave my wife my T430 for grad school and I bought her a Surface Pro 3 as well (for notes and just for the hell of it). I&#x2

They tried that for 20 years, it never works (having been in Fortune 500 companies as a consultant, it's a fucking train wreck). By the time you handle all the layers, the different time zones, the different cultures, the different val

Gold is just another fiat currency, plus at a high value it's even more worthless as a currency since you'd need such minuscule amounts to trade for goods/services.

Baldur's Gate got it right. Best game since the Ultima Series IMO (well along with Bard's Tale, Wizardry, etc).
