in reply to (OT) Jelly

Ok what's the catch? Is this some cleaver scheme to get people together to snoop their wireless streams? Maybe steal their ideas. How does this make money? "Hey, why don't you bounce your good ideas off of me, so I can steal them?". Or are they going to turn all these unemployed telecomuters into some sort of boiler room, offering them a day's pay for some hacking?

I mean if you telecomute to avoid going to the office, why commute to be with a bunch of strangers?

    Selling the ideas that people think they are freely exchanging with others isn't easy. But PerlMonks is still in businesss, so it is clearly possible.

    I enjoy working without a boss but still I miss the contact with other humans when I work from home. As I understand the idea - it is a DYI - they don't give you anything and dont expect anything back aside from exchanging notes on what worked and what did not in that arrangement.

    Be careful there! Calling it a cleaver scheme might be libelous. Unless they are actually chopping up participants... in which case, I'd be willing to do some moonlighting. I'm fine with BYOC.

      Me libelous? You are the one mentioning chopping up people. :-)
