   That's pretty awesome! As an artist, the only thing I would really do is add some lighter/darker browns to emphasize shadows and areas in the light. The same goes with grays on the flag.

   Which is why I'm confused as to why you want an open-source version? Just use this one.

   That's how I feel when I read through Android documentation with most things: this just seems unfinished.

   I interviewed there almost a year ago for an iOS position, and it was an awesome atmosphere. There was a certain energy to the place and everyone knew a ton of stuff in the domain. I didn't get the job, but had fun anyways for that day

   For those that want to do this on iOS, I created a handy UIColor (or NSColor if OSX dev is your thing) category that can create 5 tone color schemes by passing in one color. https://github.com/bennyguitar/Colours Beyon

   I just think college should be about finishing at your own pace and dealing with the consequences. If you finish in 3, you bust your ass and miss a lot of social interactions / lazy days (which are good). If you finish in 5, you take o

   12/13 credit hour semesters are the only way I was able to enjoy myself and do well in classes at college. My best grades actually came from the summer classes where it was a couple hours every day for 4 weeks. I think there's a l

   I want to start tracking hours at my current employer for Android and iOS dev since they are for the same apps. Anecdotally what I've seen is that iOS finishes faster, with way less hiccups and compromises.

   I've seen the Sylacauga meteorite (2nd from the last) in person. It currently resides in Smith Hall, the museum of natural history, at The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

    Well, as another data point, my MagSafe adapter from July 2007 is still operational and has never had a problem.

    Ugh - everyone speaking extremely carefully, making sure to use language like they would a math proof, makes for a very boring world. Just get the fucking point across; that's effective communication. Slang can be VERY good at fulfilli

    So does the idea. It's almost like they both have to be in tandem or something.

    I hate thinking like this. You can't say Edison didn't have a monumental impact in getting electricity to proliferate at reasonable prices across the country.

    I think you're pursuing a fantastical notion here. It's more like, "hey we can get a great business deal and corner a market by doing this, this and this - legal team: are we doing anything wrong here?" They aren't

    Nor should they. Don't try to abstract away the experience of going to a live concert. That's the whole point.

    Yeah, I've read tons of statistics from both sides of the debate, and still feel a little morally wrong for it. I did add taxi calling directly from the app to 7 different local taxi companies to help assuage some of my perceived guilt

    I created a fairly successful app that aimed to give users the best drink specials in my college town. I honestly can't bring myself to work on it anymore because I feel morally reprehensible and somewhat socially responsible for binge

    Any plans for a Firefox iOS browser? I know UIWebViews use webkit, but I think it'd be pretty cool to have a good Firefox mobile experience on the app store. I primarily use Chrome for iOS, and I think it could be way better. I develop
