I would like MightyQuiz more, if I hadn't after 80 questions found, I think, four or five that had incorrect 'right answers'. It'd be better if they had some kind of way to prune these out.

I lack a mac and so, I can't use the iPhone SDK. And not being able to run anything in the background, means that my application wouldn't work well at all on the iPhone. I guess it's Android for me.

I have to echo what they said. Audiogalaxy was simply wonderful. Even now, I would still say it's better than current P2P offerings. You could find so much.. and the client was so very lightweight!

Well, all relaxation is good, to break up the working. But.. it doesn't neccessarily HAVE to be sex. And indeed, a dependence and/or insistence on regular, almost scheduled sex, could add more stress, especially if an interpersonal relation

I'm more referring to the Terms of Service of something like AmazonMP3, which specifically and categorically says that you cannot do exactly what this site does.

It's an interesting idea, for sure, but depending on just how you bought your music, you (the user) could get screwed. Take for instance, buying mp3s from Amazon, and using Reble.FM. That's a violation of your agreement with Amazon. And oth

Unique visitors? Sure, that's good. But that's not what 'hits' usually refers to, I think. And with an ecommerce startup, sure, that'd be great.

3-4K hits a day is significant? Did you miss out some zeroes?

A long time ago I decided, that if I were to ever have a captcha system, it wouldn't use ones of that style, which are getting so.. randomized these days, it's hard for a human to read. Frankly, I think knowledge or logic based captchas are

I had a little fun with that content. Tried things with the site, XSS, fiddled with the API.. Good lord, I could spider and index this site so very easily, and make off with a veritable treasure trove of data. There's no way on the site to

It's how I learned to do it back when I was being taught my multiplication tables. Does that still happen anymore?

I tend to use a left-to-right multiplication method, mentally. So 26 x 31 becomes 20 x 31 = 620 6 x 31 = 186 620 + 186 = 806 Anyone else do that?

When it comes to things like YC, Digg (Not so much YouTube).. for me, it's about information. I'm something of an information junkie. I need to be in the know. And of course, I then like to pass that information on, so that it can be furthe

Sadly, I read the entire thing. I know, I know. But it's 5am and I have programmers block. Now, I may speak for myself on this, but I think the problem is not so much multi-tasking.. as it is being forced to switch ALL your focus from task

I'll have to check out some of these listed books, if only to have a reference around. Like with PHP, ASP, Perl and others, I learned the language simply by looking at existing apps, hacking them up, then sitting down and making something o

An interesting idea, but I think that some sort of solution where you could not only keep a copy of Wikipedia in your pocket, but get rolling updates to it every day/week/time_period would be nicer. Especially on an iPhone/iPod Touch, with
