Doesn't look very good on chrome. Even if you fixed the cross browser issues, it would look amateurish. I'm not trying to be rude, my websites tend to look amateurish at first go too. You might want to hire a designer for a redesign though.

Edit: Never mind, I just realised colo won't work for you because they'd probably expect servers that fit correctly in their racks and your computer cabinets probably won't.
Not necessarily. If Google is looking at stuff I share on google+ to find out more about me, I'm okay with it especially if they're targeting ads better. I know there will always be ads on websites, might as well suffer ads that I am more likely to be interested in.
The problem for Google+ is that people already have Facebook for their non-geeky friends so it has become primary for tech people who care more about these things.
Google+'s demographic is now like what Gmail's was long ago- Mostly geeky guys who got beta invites and their geeky friends who got invites passed on. It takes a while for things like email and social sites to propagate to a majority of the internet population (because most people are heavily invested in the predecessor)
Edit: Also, the reason I (and most others) use Google+ is that we get to know a lot more people who share our interests on a global scale. The whole point of the platform is to socialise. Sharing photos with just your friends (which is primarily what FB is used for) isn't "socialising", it's "sharing photos with your friends".
Opera is not open source, they distribute only binaries. If the new buyer stuffs it with rubbish you don't want, there's nothing you can do about it other than switch. Might as well switch to chrome and learn to use chrome's developer tools when I'm not in the middle of something.
Of course, I will continue to test anything I make on Opera, it's just been dropped as my primary browser.
Rejecting legitimated email addresses in the name of security is the sort of dick move you'd expect from a bank.
Also, you never know if they needed the sale proceeds to pay for something. Maybe some ambitious project that requires a high upfront capital cost.
Too many things that are unknown to us to just call them liars.
The only reason I don't use it more regularly is that they don't have a proper API yet and therefore have no apps for my blackberry.
Funnily, here in Bangalore, there are so many startups with only CxOs working for the company/firm. So I guess they'er quite literally all Chiefs and no Indians then! :-)
By definition they can’t go into an equity unless there already is liquidity.
HFTs who are usually market makers [1] maintain liquidity in the market by constantly having buy/sell orders open for many instruments/scrips. In their absence, a counter trade may not exist for matching against when you or I put out a sell/buy order. Being able to sell/buy a scrip/instrument within seconds is a valuable service that investors appreciate. In India, the securities exchange regulator mandates that all market makers make a minimum value of trades per day. I am not sure of the exact current values in each segment but it's in the order of millions of rupees. This is how regulators create conditions of liquidity so that markets are nicer to trade in especially for retail investors.
The missing link in all the discussions is: What is the purpose of the stock market?
The stock market can be divided into a primary market and a secondary market. The primary market exists to finance companies. When they IPO, cash is generated which they can use to fund business activities. The secondary market exists to encourage purchases in the primary market and to efficiently discover the price of the securities. Without a liquid secondary market, very few investors would be interested in a primary market.
HFT is only doing what was already done since many years ago manually. Humans make the same mistakes computers are being programmed to make today. In their defence, they execute exactly as asked - they feel no fear, doubt or greed - unlike a human trader . Should we treat them as being harmful because computers make mistakes at a significantly faster rate? HFT is a still nascent concept. With sufficient regulation, we will likely be able to get rid of the problems and retain the advantages.
I would have agreed with you if the statement was a subjective one such as "The CEO of the company was being racist or was biased because of my gender". Refuting such a thing is hard and you may inadvertently say something that hurts you later but this is not such a case.
Also, she hasn't quite been silent. She clarified the amount due on this thread (unless you want me to believe that was a part of some grand conspiracy). A similar clarification on the content of the emails could have been made if that guy made those lines up.
Lastly, I wouldn't care even if some internet lynch mobbing were going on. Between being broke for no fault of mine because x behaved irresponsibly and making x's life miserable so that I can be slightly better than broke, I would pick the latter.
How can you even compare holocaust denial laws to what muslim countries do? You think denying people the right to disagree with the state or condemning them to a life with their rapist or torturing a man AND taking away the right of people to deny a historical fact are the same thing? I don't see why the holocaust denial law is necessary but I don't see it as being oppressive to rights that should be fundamental!
Religious headscarves should be banned for the same reason slavery is. Just because a slave would never complain to law enforcement agencies and does not see the injustice in his life because he has been brainwashed and accepts his fate does not mean the state should not enforce his rights. Have you even seen the plight of women in an orthodox muslim family? Would you consider a muslim women who only does what she is "allowed" as your equal? Banning the hijab was a good move - it is a symbol of oppression.
In Morocco, a court ordered a teenager to marry her rapist. She killed herself. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/apr/03/moroccan-teenage...
The Dubai Sheikh torture clip is infamous now. Amazing how you can torture a guy and not go to jail if you're a Sheikh. We know about this specific incident because of the video leakk. Who knows what else goes on there. http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=7402099
Oman will throw you in jail for dissent with the govt http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/oman/oman-crackdown-on-dissent...
A lot of these emirates are guilty of encouraging human trafficking to allow supply of cheap labour. When your rich american/european visits the UAE, he doesn't see the human rights violations going on right around him - partly because his environment is sanitized of ill treatment of labour from poorer countries and partly because he chooses not to see. Should we all just shut up about the UAE's behaviour then?
The reason turkey, morocco etc are better behaved are because they're dependent on EU for economic support. I didn't mean to go muslim bashing with my comment but as you can see, they're easy to classify in this fashion. I wouldn't go to China either for the same reason I wouldn't go to a muslim country.
