Hey, you said it.

This story reminds me – once again – to have the 'online' conversation with my daughter and, possibly, think about getting rid of her webcam. I'm not sure 14 year olds (even incredibly sensible ones) can grasp the concept of 'forever' enough to have that kind of technology.

I agree, and the 'incredibly NSFW' comment is baiting the hook a little too much.

No, because doing something you love is not 'a shot in life'.

WHAAAATT??!!

I have always tried in interviews to say 'I don't know' to at least one question, based on two ideas: 1. The wise man knows what he doesn't know. 2. It provides an opportunity to stress a desire to learn and grow.

I suppose you'd need to put the TARDIS in all three visualisations - small, medium and large

I do a variant of this for passwords online. Create a password for a site, get Chrome to remember it, then go back and change the password to something with a different length. On a subsequent visit, me (or some nefarious dude) will see the wrong number of characters on the remembered password.

Thanks. I tend to sync all my pictures to Google+ anyway at 2048xwhatever resolution and then keep a local backup of the higher quality files (which I can't ever remember looking at).

What are the advantages over Picasa as a local image management app?

Really disagree with this. If the only point is first impressions, then fine, but at some point the person looking at your CV will get beyond those six seconds and will need the finer detail.

To get past the CV slush pile, I think it's pretty important to have a degree, and a good one at that. The alternative is having great contacts within the industry in which you're interested.

I can't think of any mainstream professional commentator who I consistently disagree with. Except Evgeny Morozov. I regard him as a very clever troll who understands the anxieties of the pre-digitals (parents, older academics, politicians and policy makers) and has worked out how to turn that into a best-selling,…

Yes. Top tip: Don't be born in a place and time where what you do with your penis is more important than what you do with your talents.

We cut things out of catalogues for a register, then only showed it to people who asked whether we had one, and also made sure there were things in there that covered all the bases, including items that cost tiny amounts (£1-2) for people who were skint.

Yeah! Because... um... why?

If I can learn to live with my pobble feet, I'm sure most people can get on with slightly odd shapes, long toes, dropped arches and dry skin. Other peoples' opinions can fuck off.
