I feel like there's money to be made if someone can make the exact same product, but with a covering for the toes, so they look like regular shoes and don't stand out so much.

Saw this on reddit the other day and the link was to: http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/PhilippeRinguetteAngrignon/20... I can't tell if the link posted here is to the gamasutra article author's personal blog, or if it's just ripped off cont

Yeah, I do it fairly often. If I find myself putting too much work into a comment I think to myself, "How many people are actually going to read this? What effect is it really going to have on anything? Do I really want to do all this wor

What's funny is that many online only e-books are sold for much higher prices. I'm talking about the ones with those long infomercial-style sales letters that target niche audiences and promise to solve all their problems. $40 for a .pdf w

My first thought upon reading your problem was, "I have friends who are smart and fun. Why doesn't he get some of those?" It almost sounds like you have two very black and white social circles: dry, boring 'smart' friends, and shallow, ign

Maybe it's a personal thing, but I'm not a fan of the whole, "introverts are oppressed, extroverts are shallow and evil" line of thinking. e.g., from the article: "This is not something I confess easily. I have long been shamed out of owni

Bushido Blade for the original PlayStation was a one-on-one game with pretty realistic weapon fights. One hit from a sword in a vital area and you were dead. Hits to the legs or arm would disable that limb. A lot of the fights were over qu

To echo what some people are already saying, I think it's fine if you're not totally into gadgets or don't want to get overwhelmed with pointless, distracting communication. Just don't be self-righteous and superior about it. Don't be like

I think it comes down to novelty. When I'm a regular working stiff, the months seem to fly by because each day is so similar to the last. They all just blend together in your memory, and you find yourself looking back and thinking, "Where

I'd move on to the next free network to come along. Companies can try and charge money, but as long as there's a line up of free sites willing to take their place, it's easier for most people to migrate to the next thing.

I'm hardly a researcher, but I've written my share of dense academic papers as a student. I remember not trusting my own ideas if they didn't seem written in a 'smart' enough way. I almost thought if something could be written simply, it w

You have to put effort into creating good content and in promoting yourself. Writing good posts is a no brainer, but it's easy to underestimate the importance of marketing yourself. It can take a lot more time than you'd think. If you look

One distinction for me between copying an online article and copying music or a game, is that with the latter, people are pirating it because they'd can't otherwise access it. They'd have to pay or inconvenience themselves somehow, so they

I don't have any deep or insightful comments to make on this article. I just want to say I read it a month or so ago and was really impressed with it at the time. It's a really intelligent, well written list of reasons why relationship don

I'm from Canada and I won't be subscribing. I use last.fm and while it has some cool features and I've discovered a lot of new bands, it just doesn't play very good songs on the actual radio. I've tried making stations around all kinds of d
