Nine times out of ten that you don't get a response to a job posting on the internet, it's not because of your resume. Hiring managers look for excuses to screen people out (hence spelling errors being suddenly very, very important).

I'd be less annoyed with him and these articles if he wasn't (apparently) punching above his philosophical weight. It's not male or female? Okay, that's fair enough. But at least admit that the model was conceived as male - I mean, he has a goatee and is named Steve. Was Leslie, or Sam, or Chris, or some other name…

I kind of accidentally did this when I quit smoking. While reading a book (Allen Carr's Easyway), rather slowly, I started building a list of reasons in my head as to why I shouldn't smoke (which are, obviously, many). When it actually came time to put out the last smoke, it was almost inconsequential.

Not really, there are outliers on the bottom end, too. Really, the money shot is r = .292, not r-squared, the typical measure of regression reliability (assuming here that the "57" is the number of data points). at .292, the r-sq would be .085, or that the line "describes" 8.5% of the data points. Admittedly, it could…

VOTE: Safari. Under duress.

I can hardly speak for most people, but I only use the web interface under duress. The fact that Google decided that everything should be contained in the web browser is fine most of the time, but I prefer to have quality options for email and chat outside of the browser.

I use Postbox, and I generally like it, but I wish that they (or someone) would go beyond Gmail and, say, integrate Google Calendar in some way that's better than Lightning/Provider's clunky handling of Google Calendar.. or had Toodledo/RTM/some kind of task sync. Etc.

I feel like this list is missing the only really important parts:

"I live by morals, I don't live by laws," he went on. "Laws are something made by assholes."

Well, the studies that I think you're referring to don't demonstrate that they're dangerous, they demonstrate that they tend to increase rear-end collisions (less dangerous) while decreasing right-angle collisions (considerably more dangerous). In both cases, though, the crashes are the product of unsafe driving:…

I still don't think you have the facts right. If you have a subscription, 70% of the fee gets distributed among the sites that were scraped; it doesn't matter when you signed up. I still have contributions listed, and it's on the "about us" page [www.readability.com] - It's not required (as it used to be) and I assume…

It wasn't dropped - the subscription isn't required anymore. Apple didn't figure into the equation other than delaying the iOS app for a year.

I feel like the main draw of Readability was left out - if you have a subscription, it sends 70% of the fee to the content providers (divided up equally). Since these services strip the ads, it's heartening to see people, you know, paid for their work.

They don't have a small-claims clause because arbitration is more favorable to them. Litigants have to go to their house and it's (essentially) a rigged game.

"Publishers are utterly unimportant in this day and age, this has been proven time and time again."

First-sale doctrine has been on the books in the US since 1908. Publishers know this. Gamefly exists, and Goozex, and so on and on.

"The current defenses against piracy all end up making purchasing more difficult. To sell more games, surely you should be making it easier to purchase. This is the issue."

Well, the ESA doesn't represent gamers, they represent the game producers. When the interests of the two parties conflict, it's only reasonable to expect that they're going to side with the people who pay their bills.

"If you want to invest two years in something that will help you, you would do better to learn how to hack than get an MBA."

I still don't have Mango, but the changes make me hopeful. I typically use an iPhone, but at this point it feels that the only thing that it has going for it is its broad support - you can't spit without finding an iPhone-compatible docking station, app developers come to iOS first and other platforms if they're good…
