I had mine done here http://www.elliseye.com/ in 2001 or 2002. At first my vision was 20/15 in one eye and 20/10 in the other and I felt like the bionic man. This over correction lasted about a year before it started to…
Agreed. I don't like the politics of this "scandal" like many in this community, but this IS a serious fight AND I believe the stakes are even higher than many here on my side seem to think. It is how the battle is to…
Bah. Amazon didn't cave to political pressure, it made a sound business decision. While it may offend your politics this was about the bottom-line. It isn't Jeff Bezos' job to make polical statements with other peoples…
Methinks the lady doth protest too much. If she has as big a problem with this as she claims then she has greater challenges facing her then learning how to set (or correct) a boundary. Seriously. I was recently fired…
No matter how brilliant one is, its ridiculously hard to know what you don't know. This cannot be overstated. And when ego is the cause...oy vey! I believe that one of the greatest intellectual challenges to overcome…
I think your perception that the entertainment industry is in anyway a meritocracy is naive. There are always exceptions to the rule but for the most part it is still a "it's not what you know it's who you know"…
I agree with many of the other respondents that you are grossly overstating the role the names played. Additionally, while I agree wholeheartedly that "Mint" is the better name, when considering the role the company…
It's their job to try and collect as much as they can. Even if your contact is friendly and sympathetic, if they think you can pay on better terms than you offer they will hammer you. On the flip side it is your job to…
LASER eye surgery. Best money I ever spent.
I can't really comment on the viability/marketability of your product concept, but I will offer this very important, if not somewhat trite, piece of advice. If you are going to try to sell something to designers and use…
This is a lot of fun but the great variety of results I received left me without any sense of who I may actually write like. I analyzed a series of correspondence, all written within several weeks, and similar in tone,…
In the UK "punting" is an oft used slang term for frequenting prostitutes. A "punter" is akin to a "john" here in the states.
I can totally relate. I spend way too much time helping my Mom which aggravates the hell out of me because she has been using a PC since Win 3.1 and she still can't remember the easiest of tasks. Thankfully she has…
I'm not sure if you are being snarky or just ignorant, but the "The Artist..." is the commonly accepted usage and descriptor http://www.citypages.com/1999-06-23/news/the-people-formerly...
If I was at my wits end, I would start calling in to Google corporate until I got someone who could actually help. Don't get irate, be pleasant. If you must talk lawsuit, do so without threatening. Also, re-read the…
According to Dave Itzkoff, an employee and frequent contributor to the NYT, this is a hoax. http://twitter.com/ditzkoff/status/15847765293
I have a couple of friends that managed large software development projects with global teams, one while at Microsoft and the other while at Autodesk. They both told me that outsourcing work to India was not seen as a…
Is there anywhere in the country where AT&T's network is actually better than Verizon? As much as I love my smartphone (incredible) its best feature is a reliable network with great coverage. Forgive me if I sound…
I just wish I had enough rep to down vote your comment :P His posts and complete transparency about growing his business epitomize the type of community contribution that brings me back to this site time and time again.
"...All those moments will be lost in time; like tears in rain. Time to die." FYI Rutger Hauer actually wrote that last line in to the script. Most memorable scene in the movie if you ask me.
I think your contention better supports an argument for the decriminalization of drugs than it does regarding the social ills of porn. As far as "voluntariness" goes I have known a number of high billing IT contractors…
Excellent point. I was in charge of much of the SEO of a large internet retailer and our organic traffic was stunning. Unfortunately no matter how hard I lobbied to start work on conversion, split testing etc, they…
It's not just your opinion ;) This argument is about the nature of consciousness more than anything. It fights for a "subjective ontology" of the mental and is not easily dismissed as the earlier commentator would like…
To all you sys admins out there: Is rush2112 really as common as some of these? I am a bit chagrined by its presence on this list as I have used that as a low security password for 10 years. In fact it is currently my…
