As far as I know, yes. This is what I do. Ironically, doing so and thereby solving the issue he's blogging about makes it impossible to comment via Disqus on the 42floors blog.

A "top X" list flaming Apple from 'helpmyseo.com'. The upvote link on this should log you out.

If you select PHP, you get "So you like your variable names to include dollar signs? That's cool, everyone misses Perl once in a while." Making smartass remarks about their language of choice is not a great way to initiate a relationship with a developer.

This is precisely it. I found an extraordinary mason recently from a friend's referral. He has zero online presence. When I asked him about that, he said "why would I get a website when I already have more work than I can handle?" Being known as a pro is more important than all the marketing and bidding in the world.

For certain people in certain circumstances, they won't do the gobsmacking, business-killing thing they've been doing. It's not so much a step in the right direction as just tilting their head toward it.

I maintain that the ability to be silly is the measure of office (or community, or family) culture that matters most. It's indicative of being relaxed, confident, and comfortable with yourself and your relationships with others. That doesn't mean disruptive or constant silliness, but a little goofing around once in a while goes a long way.

That wasn't a story, it was a trailer.

The condescension in that post is galling.

"Try to keep up here." "Again, say it with me:" "Please tell me you know people who aren’t as tech savvy as you. If you don’t, get to know some in order to maintain proper perspective."

A lesson in how to not communicate a technical idea.

Attempting to figure out the country of origin for every lawsuit, law, and court case referenced on this site is ridiculous. It's difficult to parse it all even if it's clearly denoted, and it rarely is. Please, please add the country of origin to headlines like this.

This seems predicated on GitHub needing additional revenue. I don't think their announcement signalled that at all. GitHub accepted an investment partner. My assumption is that they got excellent terms since they are very cashflow-positive, they hope to IPO one day, and they require investment-savvy advisors.

Yes, I was thoroughly confused until it clicked it was Canadian media. Can we get a bot on the news submitter that asks for a nation to be added when the headline says "Congress" or "Parliament" or "Supreme Court"? :P

While I agree with your take on what the game will be, I'm firmly in the "yes that's exactly what I want" camp. Update it a little, give me new levels, and for God's sake don't ruin it like they did Bomberman.

This seems hugely misleading as an economic barometer. Isn't it the case that real estate wealth was surging absurdly [in 2007], obscuring a rise in debt? If debt growth has leveled off, it seems like the story is Americans getting their shit together and stopping their debt accumulation, not "losing" bubble wealth. No?

//edit: 2010?? Did they forget to hit 'publish' when this was still timely?
