Two years ago almost to the day, I was sitting in a gym waiting area while my 6 year old son was attending a baseball clinic. I had a 1400+ page Wrox programming book that I was go…

How about multi-factor authentication? That is the one reason I still use gmail. I wish Exchange Online had that feature - I'd switch in a heartbeat but it doesn't so I'm stuck wit…

When I was 24 and in the final stages of my ISP startup I thought I was burned out after working 80+ hours per week for quite a while. I mentioned this to one of my customers who p…

Oh so now we are entitled to recognition? Everyone gets a trophy, right? Hey it works for 8 year olds, why not adults?

OP has one job in 17 years and thinks he is an expert at salary negotiations.

My favorite part is where they say they have people committed to selling 250,000 bitcoins in an attempt to drive the market down. So that's people owning $30,500,000 (at $122 per b…

Maybe your app just sucked?

If this happened after the third quarter of 2001, they would've gotten to experience the "SWAT Team Alarm Clock" followed by some lengthy interviews by the Homeland Security depart…

I've seen articles about Bitcoinstore referring to Newegg and Amazon as dinosaurs. Bitcoinstore should load their site in an iPhone. I just did and it looks like a jumbled mess of …

Almost 11 months you say? Well any self respecting hobbyist hacker at home should be able to whip up an upgrade in a week. The rest of us are trying to run a business and don't app…

To me it comes down to the fact that the Surface Pro does everything that the iPad can do plus it runs everything our desktop can run (games, work applications). Oh and you can pop…

We had 20 professional guys in our beach house. One year we had the beer taste test challenge. Sample a field of 6 beers trying to identify which is which. Starting off, people wer…

Judging by the length, article author apparently gets paid by the word.

OP does not touch on tax shelters such as the Individual 401k. I am a W2 employee and max out my social security tax through the W2 (by far). I then have an LLC that I do side cons…
