I've got no time to invest in this. I'm too busy finding an alternative for Reader and seriously looking at alternatives for Gmail because I'm just plain torqued at Google right no…

Also, you can make a one time rollover from a 401K or IRA to an HSA account. So if they switched to the HSA they could start it off by rolling over the amount of their deductible f…

Me too! Kubuntu hits a real sweetspot for me in terms of a desktop environment.

Best part about this is the link to my home town newspaper. I used to deliver the Enterprise Record every afternoon on my bike after school. Yes, in the 70s the Enterprise Record w…

Eclipse's Maven support is not great. IntelliJ's is better but Netbean's is the best in my opinion. The problem with IntelliJ's Maven support is it doesn't handle multiple non-nest…

Much worse will be written about RMS when he dies and many will applaud what is written, never mind their contributions to technology had the same scale of impact on society... It'…

Or try out the usernames and passwords on say BofA?

And a non-existant QA department apparently?

Maybe 37 Signals should have gotten RMS and the FSF to patent their software.

Where does education and personal responsibility come into play? Just because one qualifies for a loan doesn't mean one should enter into a loan, no matter what the means of qualif…

I usually take PG with a grain of salt but he hit the nail on the head with this one. Another phenomenon I've seen when working in larger groups/organizations is the predatory ways…

It's all about time, time, time. I'm not suggesting there aren't extremes at both ends of the intelligence spectrum. But for the bulk of us in the middle of the curve, it all comes…
