37Signals' philosophy and their business practices ARE different to a 'normal' business or startup's - their advice goes against the conventional wisdom. That's what makes what they have to say worthwhile and valuable for discussion. I Go

Yeah, to a corporation (and many - or most - business minds,) money is just about all there is in terms of "looking after" someone.

I find it a bit alarming and surprising that there aren't documented, repeatable processes for how to treat common diagnoses and disorders wholistically. Although my surprise is tempered when I think of the arrogance of almost every doctor

Yeah I sure do. I bought the square with the "R" for reserved just beneath the grey "Download Movies" button near the middle top. The guy rejected my icon the first time around, I think I accidentally made it 11x10 or something instead of 1

I would have raised my hand 3 months ago. I nearly quit for a dish washing job when our customer couldn't understand why it was taking us so long (~3 weeks!) to do two-way appointment sync between our application's booking system and Exchan

What if you could vote with money? So everyone who votes on the winning idea can then choose to contribute some amount and the sum of everyone's contributions buys, say, a 25% share in the idea, acting as seed funding. If only there was a w

Sorry I was referring more to the cultural or mindset change that made it cool and trendy to build Web 2.0 style apps. Events like the coining of the term "AJAX", as well as things like Google Maps and Gmail really pushing the boundaries of

The comment is quite similar to the idea of "mappers and packers:" http://the-programmers-stone.com/the-original-talks/day-1-th... This theory goes that some people (mappers) create a mental map of how the world works, and any new knowled

This sounds like what could have happened everywhere had AJAX and web 2.0 not happened. I remember the early 2000s when ActiveX seemed like one of few options to deliver functionality that wasn't thought possible with just HTML and Javascri

I noticed it, but am too lazy to create one. Love the site though it took restraint to not keep going, there's some great match ups. Also, it would be cool if it showed which film is winning out of a given pair after you vote, like hotorno

True, but with Google Docs the uploading step is extra; you can open files and save them right inside the file open/save dialogs in Word and Excel if Sharepoint's setup properly. If something could map say a "My Google Docs" folder under My

Maybe it's because with Google Docs you don't get to use Word or Excel, and to anyone who's scared of anything that's not word or Excel that's hard. Non-technical people don't seem to get to the step of generalising what they know about usi

"Instead of creating Access databases on a file share, people use SP "lists" to store data" This seems like a better situation than with Access though; at least the Sharepoint list apps are all located within one system; not as discrete fil

What were the several other solutions that combined to do Sharepoint's job? I'm interested in what alternatives there are.

by ahpeeyem 17y ago
yeah Sharepoint's standard wiki isn't very good! But you can install 3rd party wiki implementations for SP that are better, I believe.

I'd like to know too. I tried following a fox in the street on the way home last night as well (the same night!) but I lost him amongst parked cars and garden walls :( Obviously foxes are busy on Monday nights.

Definitely. The more people who get used to using applications that are online-only and who get used to having their data on other people's servers rather than on their hard drive or a USB stick, the more demand there will be for everyone e

The dense unoriginality of people tires me, 70% of other peoples' searches that I get are something like "what is this?" or "I don't get it". Great idea spoiled by the banality of the morons using the internet. Although whoever put "django

I've used this method a few times at public internet terminals hoping it would work, but in the absence of evidence that it really would work I got lazy and haven't bothered most times. Good to know it's an effective extra preventative mea

maybe the kid has somehow hit on the right level of random feedback - just enough to make the game addictive? and then the leaderboard as you point out would be a strong motivator as well.

I wish even agile had a different name, one that isn't so tempting for people to use incorrectly, with no clue that it means something other than "able to change direction quickly". I've heard (very non-technical) people cheerfully voluntee

I'm a bit disappointed that it has a carburettor to be honest. The rest of the car is no-expense-spared, state of the art (check out the F1 CVs/driveshafts!), and then to see that they put a carb on it was a let down.
