Two things strike me about this question. 1. The fact that you're asking others if you should give up lead me to advise that you probably should. In my own business, I'm too convinced that I have something that works and will continue to im

I would rather replace my trackpad with a numeric pad.

I usually try not to compare myself to others too much (too many variables in life experiences make such comparisons difficult anyway). But if anything, I feel superior for having accomplished what I have with graduating from a "no-name-bra

I really am curious as to how you arrived at this equation. It is a vast over-simplification of the problem. The equation I came up with is as follows: y1 = [l/(2b(1/tan(a)^2 - cos(a))] * [x - l/cos(a) + b/sin(a)] + l/cos(a) + b/sin(a) wher

Yeah, this is one of those edge cases where it doesn't satisfy the string test from above, but there is still a chance it could fit. sqrt[ (57/2)^2 + 22^2 ] = 36", which is greater than 31"

I began working on this problem this morning, and my calc equations kept getting bigger and bigger, then after I had about 2 pages filled with equations, I saw your post. I feel much better now knowing I wasn't missing something obvious, an

I believe this is technically incorrect, but it errs on safe side. I.e. if the string sweeps through the arc, the box will fit, if it doesn't swing through the arc, there is still a chance that the box will fit. I'm assuming this is what yo

If you're looking for student rental housing by any chance, that's what our startup is for... http://www.ratemystudentrental.com For non-student housing, I use http://www.mapskrieg.com

This looks very useful. We actually need something like this for our startup. Any plans for an API (or would you be interested in working to develop one)? Email me please if you could.

I would be seriously interested in helping you take on this project. I have spent the last year and a half developing RateMyStudentRental.com for reviewing on- and off-campus rental housing and dorms. We have developed solutions to many of

As long as it's relatively unobtrusive and has a prominent "remove frame" button, I don't see what the big deal is. If it weren't for their link to you (framed or not), that user would not have found your content in the first place. I would

I dual-majored in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at a 95% engineering school. Cheating occured very often, and I would venture to guess that a majority of the students cheated at some point during their college career, usually in the

Is it really a waste of time if it entertains you and stimulates your thoughts, when used judiciously?

I'm the lead guitar for Ann Arbor-based rock band, Moment of Inertia (we all happen to be engineers... computer, electrical, mechanical, and aerospace between the 4 of us). http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=8umukDN_PVE We've been a band for 5

Wow, I really like this site. Some of the graphics leave a little to be desired (the logo and the greater than sign on the "see your results" page). But, I really liked the flow and interaction. It did take me a second though to figure out

I know one of our startup's founding principles is to always be free for students. I was a student when we started it and know all to well how tight money is. I don't feel right contributing to the insane amount of debt American university

Right now, a lot of car companies are getting reamed by the economy (obviously), stemming a lot from doling out leases and then seeing the values of the cars tanking with the economy, causing them to take large losses. As a result, it is di

BTW, I think that comment sounded a little nastier than I meant it to. Just trying to give some helpfule feedback :-) Cool concept though.

I clicked the first script in the list (the 2d rotator thingy) and it froze up my browser and maxed my cpu when I hit run script. Not too cool. Glad I have the Session Restore addon. Running the latest Firefox on Mac OS X.

Wow, I really got downmodded for saying you have to work to make money?

You could rob a bank. Other than that, I'm not sure I know of a surefire way to make money without doing anything, except for the "work like hell for a few years" thing.

I usually reserve conferences for weekday evenings if at all possible; it makes me feel less guilty if I end up drinking during the week at a conference than at a party or a bar. Friday nights, we usually have band practice or a show somewh

I would like to second (or third or whatever) the notion to get it a better domain name (perhaps one of those really good expiring ones). A hyphenated subdomain does not strike me as a good choice for a service that helps you find good doma

If you are going to charge for the features, you should not make them free, even to begin with. By doing so, you create an initial value in the users' minds of what those features are worth... $0. If anything, charge for the Pro features an

To be completely fair, I would say that "Hack Your Drink" describes this experiment just as well as "Hacker News" describes these forums. I.e. most of the news here has nothing to do with hacking, but rather, it appeals to hackers. Likewise
