  1. A huge sub-woofer for his car on Christmas Gifts for Geeks · · Score: 1

    These babes look damn cool (ebay category), and they aren't expensive.

    I believe that a good gift should provocate people to do something they wouldn't normally do, but would like to. In this way, a sub-woofer would encourage the person to outfit the whole car with a quality audio system.

    And, hey, chicks dig car audio! ;-)

  2. Oh geez! I have a college mate called Maya. She... on Maya now Free for Personal Use · · Score: 1

    ... she is a kind of sweet pretty girl, makes my heart beat faster every time there's an ambiguous title like this. "Maya now Free for Personal Use".

  3. putty has an excellent private key manager on Top 10 Software Titles Every Home PC Needs? · · Score: 1

    ... called 'pageant'. This is a must when you really ssh a lot. * Typing passwords or passphrases every time? Boring. * Using keys with empty passphrases? Dangerous. The solution is to use an auth agent which asks a passphrase once then allows you to use it until you close the agent or reboot.

  4. From my limited experience in Russia... on The IT Market: Cyclical Downturn or New World Order? · · Score: 1

    Getting a quick-hack contract is really easy nowadays. A sole coder can always track freelance task listings on major sites like e-lance.com. Several hours of searches and writing proposals and you are hired for a day or two or a week, and while you are using the same system to write feedback for the employer or to withdraw your money, you suddenly get the next task and so on... You don't get rich this way but it is definitely an option to consider, paid the same or even better that most local jobs.

    What is actually surprising is that this very special market is biased towards tiny webmonkey projects. Endless clones. Endless websites to make money out of nothing. Our domestic market gives us more sensible, challenging and expensive tasks... We've already put great effort into finding at least the same scale projects abroad, but generally without luck.
