This "rings true" to me. That getting rid of formal managers and formal management just lets "petty office politics" rule more than usual.

After 9/11 we learned of "chatter". I have wondered what the NSA etc. can say about chatter in recent weeks. What the NSA might know. And if the NSA doesn't know, what that says ab…

The tweet is verifiable. That a porn party took place at that residence seems likely. There is no verification this occurred over airbnb. There is no verification that the tweets w…

That's not actually a response. You are just restating the premise. And exercising your right to be snide. What is the ample verifiable evidence in the post?

Most Wordpress sites (and many other sites too) add gravatar images derived from the MD5 hash of the email addresses of authors and commenters. These MD5 hashes can be found in the…

The last mile. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_mile ) Most places are wired with one phone line, and one cable line. That phone line is generally owned by one specific phone co…
