  1. Re:Kind Of Vague on How Many Hours a Week Can You Program? · · Score: 0

    I understand and want to agree 100% but I can't.

    FLEXTIME just does not fit in with the rest of the world. Yes it works amazing wonders for developers, but for the rest of the business (and third parties it involves) it just won't fly.

    The porn industry, like you say has taken a major liking to telecommuting, flex time etc. But likely due to reasons you don't want to hear.

    The porn industry has to take on telecommuters / flex time out of necessity (and much lesser extent because it can and it is good). They can't find developers anywhere that want the work (its like a black mark on your cv *), they rarely have offices, and I doubt their management has any set work hours (usually managed by the sole owner).

    * it might not be but who are you to decide that.

    I don't pay interest on my credit card unless I owe them money.

    I don't pay any fees on my credit card unless i'm using it (I don't think I get billed unless I stop using it for like 6 months (never going to happen for me)).

    I don't know who you bank with but you need to change.

    Honestly, I'm just waiting for the MS fan boy kids they are cranking out of schools these days to start spilling details of this great new thing MS just invented called a package manager too all their friends.

  5. Re:email? on College To Save Money By Switching Email Font · · Score: 0

    What is wrong with printing emails. Sorry but the world is not full of freaky geeks like us. While computers, email and the "Internet" is common place these days. They aren't common everywhere, as you seem to think.

    A builder, although may use a computer for billing his/her customers and what not. Probably doesn't want to bring their desktop to the 'office' to show his buds this sweet deal on a new tool chest he saw online.

    A school, government funded. Probably does have a few computers, but one per teacher, one per student? Unlikely. Printing a time table out and putting it on a notice board somewhere is likely to be more effective.

    Your idea of this world being a paperless one is very naive.

  13. Re:What a lot of work. on Scalpers Earned $25M Gaming Online Ticket Sellers · · Score: 1

    Is that a troll? Hard to tell.

    Anyway, I want to know why recaptcha doesn't update their id mappings constantly? It would be very trivial to randomly shuffle them over time.

    This 'flaw' is pretty huge and its kind of retarded it even popped up. You can crowdsource this type of thing very easily to break it.

    But then again, its not very hard to crowdsource breaking captchas in real time so my point is kinda moot.

  15. Re:how is this different on Owners Smash iPhones To Get Upgrades, Says Insurance Company · · Score: 1

    http://www.vodafone.co.nz/services/phoneinsure.jsp

    With plans like this, why would you not break your phone to get a new one?

    "I lost it"

    "ok heres a new one, thatll be 125nzd" ( like 60 usd)

    And that coverage only costs 110/year~

    So effectively you can get a new phone every year for $200 even if it is a $1000 phone you keep replacing. Sounds like a good deal to me. And its not like I would feel guilty about ripping the company that decided 1kB worth of sms should be priced the same as 1MB worth of raw data.
