I'm not arguing the science. It may be 100% correct. My issue the fact that a corporation with a very big upside is funding the research. That's all. Think about it.

"your own personal (subjective) opinions about corporations" What do you know about my opinions?

Yeah, no conflict of interest whatsoever...

Although I see a connection, I stopped taking this article seriously when I read this sentence: "Their study, published last year, was funded in part by Danone Research, a division of multinational food company Danone."

Agreed. I'm confused. I don't understand how this helps users access data on "any" device. The data pulled from the backed is handed off to the front end. The front end determines what's displayed and how it's

I think it's great. I love the simplicity and the UI. A lot of times we over complicate things. This is a great example of getting back to basics. I'd argue that this is not budgeting software, nor should it be. Instead, it's

You're going to kill my productivity tonight! ;) Isn't the answer on level 2 "robot"?

Is their site's theme a common, commercially available theme? It looks an awful lot like Envato's marketplace... Their site: http://site.introbiz.com/ Envato's: http://www.themeforest.com Edit: Lo

Yep, I agree 100%. It's a great way to get inspiration. There are some solid ideas in there.

Chances are, you or I won't invent a new product. The fact that a product exists, is a good indicator of possible revenue. Use these "ideas" to explore new topics and improve on existing products. You said, "one of the t

Awesome idea! However, most of what I saw was a flash in the pan type of idea. App ideas are a dime a dozen. If you could refine this and filter it a bit more it would be great! Maybe start with filters for b2b or b2c ideas? Nice work, good

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it! 1. That's strange. I just tested it and it picks up my past jobs. I'll look into it more. 2. I've seen this bug in the past and thought I fixed it. I guess not. Damn HTML to PDF conve

It doesn't do anything. There is a pretty basic landing page with some random footer links, but nothing else. Am I missing something?

Yeah, if you have a perfect SAT score, I'm sure you're not hunting around for schools. :) I'm just saying there are a lot of schools out there. If I used your site to find schools, I'd like to see all available options.

I think you did a good job! Nice start! As you're saying, adding more criteria would make it better. I entered "800" for all 3 scores and only got a few schools. Are you limiting the results?

I second that. I visited the site and that's what I was looking for. I have a couple of projects at the moment that would benefit greatly from a service such as this. They are projects that I've deemed too small for me to focus on

This is cool. I know it would be useful to many different departments within larger organizations. Who are you targeting? large businesses or small mom and pop's?

Your site looks great! I like the idea. I'm trying to do a conversion and it's running really slow. It's been processing for over 5 minutes now and it's only about 2% done. Is your server overloaded at the moment? Nice w

Great link bait for Facebook. If you allow image uploads so people can replace an actors face with another, I can see it catching on (unless I'm completely missing the point). What is your plan with this?

by Paul_Dessert 12y ago
Thanks for checking it out and thanks for the bug report. I'll get that fixed.

by Paul_Dessert 12y ago
I guess I missed that part ;) Good luck!

Yeah, multi-country support is on my to-do list. I wanted to start here in the U.S. then add to it as needed. Thanks for taking a look!

by Paul_Dessert 12y ago
That's a good idea! Good luck with it. I have a kit that I made myself, the problem is keeping it current. Some of the items have a shelf life of only a few years. Do you have any plans for updating the kit after X years?

by Paul_Dessert 12y ago
Sounds good. I'll check back in a week or so...

Nice! That's handy. Thanks for the auto populated "lazy" links, I would have hit the back button without them. A recommendation: work on the deign and UI. the calculator columns don't line up and I didn't see the co

Nice work. Sure, there are other options available, but I like the simplicity and ease of use of yours (judging by the video). Don't let the fact that there are other options available discourage you. Why are you giving this away for f

Hey Thomas, I'll start adapting resumebeacon.com to support jsonresume. I created my site as a LinkedIn resume generator, so integrating a JSON formatted feed shouldn't be much trouble. I'll start work on it tonight and post

Two consecutive months of negative "growth" define a recession. The "dismal weather" argument has been used to death. We've had very cold winters before, it's nothing new. Labor markets are not improving as you
