Sorry, the invites come from the company, rather than the community. That said, you can suggest your site via a form on their contact page.

I set up a web dev blog in 2003, at ILoveJackDaniels.com, and after a few months of rubbish blogging starting doing free cheat sheets to download. At its peak, from AdSense and text link ads, it made about $1200 per month. I had to move dom

Plagiarism? Really? They didn't copy the text of the article, did they? They wrote their own, based on the original source. That's hardly unusual. I'm not even sure it's unethical. At most it warrants an attribution, but this witch-hunt is

Maybe the best thing you can do is build that drive in others. Hell, I've got two web projects that have been meandering along for over a year, both not launch-ready - getting stuff out of the door is, for me (and I imagine many others), th

I'd be up for trying that if you want testers. I'm lazy and need a decent todo app.

That's rather good. I (long ago in the dark ages of the 90s) built something very similar to twitter and included the ability to see just URLs from posts. I wish they'd do the same thing.

And so you have no difficulty with this? I haven't been in your position, so I can't be certain, but I like to think that the first thing I would do if I was hearing voices would be to seek some sort of reliable independent corroboration, a

How did you know it was god? How did you rule out being mad and hearing voices?

Dawkins' scale of belief is at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum_of_theistic_probabilit... He describes himself as a 6 - that's an agnostic atheist. That means lacks belief, but does not entirely rule out the possibility of a deity.

And then you would have to explain how that magic water memory makes it into sugar's magic memory when the water is evaporated away.

All lovely. Of course, in homeopatic "treatments", the water is allowed to evaporate away on a sugar pill. So does sugar have magic memory too?

by DaveChild 16y ago
You are not qualified, in any way, to determine what, if anything, had an effect on you or on other people. You are not capable of telling if your back pain, for example, was cured by homeopathy or had run its course. And this is why anecdo

Hey, things change. It wasn't all that long ago that rugby was big in the USA.

It's the responsibility of the company to ensure they are capable of coping with a coder leaving. I've worked for companies where they've just not given any time or thought to what happens if the coder leaves.
