    You're quite ignorant. I suggest you visit these places prior to placing judgement on them. The US and Canada are vast geographically and culturally spanning countries with an abso…

    Why do people think these services are "free"?

    Facetious quotes and meme-spouting doesn't count as refutation.

    Please don't tell me you think those things are actually "free".

    Why did you take one sentence out of context and pretend to refute the entire article?

    Are you being serious or using an overused buzzword for humor?

    I find it sad that you have to emphasize a 250k home as "nice" since people around here are used to million dollar single bedroom apartments crammed in to a city. In many, many pla…

    Your comment is overly simplistic to the point of nonsense. Where exactly do you expect us to get food if you decide to just rid the world of agriculture?

    40% effective tax rate? Impressive, I've never gone above 15% and I'm in a 6 digit salary. Hundreds of hours to prepare a tax return? I guess if you can't read or something. No ide…

    It's telling of our industry that if you aren't using an overpriced fashion product, you're incompetent.

    EA didn't develop a majority of the games you listed. They were the publisher.

    People are paying to use Facebook. Are you suggesting that they aren't?

    Your entire rant can be summed up in to, "Why doesn't everyone think the same way I do?"

    You need to provide citations if you're going to make grand claims.

    Salaries vary greatly depending on where the employee lives. You're generalizing far too much to the point where your comment is not useful. 80k is a healthy salary in some states …

    What do you mean by "SLAs are almost worthless?" And what do you mean by "something like this?" Google has retired plenty of products over the years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L…

    In many places like the South (and Mid-West), most people tend to say variants of "Why?", "That's stupid", "That's crazy" Here in Bay Area more people say, "Why not? That sounds fu…

    You've misunderstood the author's sentence. His point was that many companies tend to think anyone applying for a position is 100% unqualified instead of focusing on the dead weigh…
