I have heard about this. All the obviously good ideas have already been implemented, and others find your not-so-obvious ideas hard to understand. While this makes perfect sense, there is a chance that the people who get to know of your sec

I didn't use it for a long time. It works, but it still needs cygwin to be install for some snippets. That's a little ironic. installing cygwin on wine.. but I guess that's the only way to get a text-mate like editor on linux. Or you could

This is probably the best reference for those who want to learn what is new in HTML5 if they already know HTML. It is not just a quick start guide. It is a very good read and explains stuff very well.

I was addicted to gaming about a year back. But then, I was not working in those days. Now, I usually don't get the time, but I manage once or twice a week for a few hours. I don't enjoy or look forward to playing as I used to before, and

I have been programming ever since I was a school kid, and I have worked on many small "hobby projects". But I started calling myself a programmer only after I actually started working and earning money as a programmer. I guess I am using

They do log you in automatically if you are logged in your Google/Yahoo(or any other OpenId provider). However, you have to configure it in the account settings first.

This was a very big issue in my previous place of work. It really got to me, to the point that I actually quit and found another job. So, speaking from personal experience, it will also severely affect your programmers' morale if they just

I am not so sure what you mean by "non-spammy way". As an avid twitter user, I would certainly mind it if the people I follow start tweeting ads on my timeline. Actually clicking on these ads is just out of the question. But then again, I a

I have just two really simple bug fixes to be completed, and there is no more work assigned to me yet. But I just can't bring myself to complete it. I have been very lazy for the past 2-3 days :(

I would go with Wordpress despite the fact that I am a web developer. For websites which mainly consist of content, it doesn't make sense to develop something off the ground. And static HTML is a bad idea as its hard to maintain and change

Actually, there are tons of software related startups. Good electronics startups would be a little harder to find. I will look around and let you know.

That number won't be important because it varies widely from startup to startup. It depends on the type of product, how long it will take to conceptualize and develop, and also the people behind it. It could be as little as 2 months to as

Learn PHP, but please, please, learn to write clean and manageable code. I highly recommend picking up a framework along with php. Good ones are Symfony and Cakephp. I would have suggested Python but php is much easier to learn and deploy.

I am in Bangalore. And you can startups everywhere here! There's like 5 on every street in every locality! I am a final year engineering student and I have already worked in 3 different startups(out of which only one went totally bust).

I don't know about the word test scores but the rest of the demographic info doesn't look right. For instance, the second chart. The data suggests that statistically, the odds of a girl drinking are higher than an african-american drinking
