Thanks, but this was actually made by my friend Nathan Bashaw (nbashaw). I just submitted it because I think it's awesome :) I think the tool is great for a certain group of people: beginners and front-end folks who want to quickly see what

If these are the type of students I'm thinking of, they really don't want to become computer scientists, or software engineers, even. They want to learn how to code so they can build stuff, namely web apps. I'm assuming that since they don'

I wonder--does it become less special because it's sent in a medium like this? Nearly automating the process seems to take the thought out of it, and it really is the thought that counts with your parents.

Since this is mostly satire--what are some actually good articles/blog posts about how to write better? I'm familiar with "Writing, Briefly". Any other suggestions?

Thanks. So, to be clear, it's not the price that has you hesitant, but just wanting to make sure it's worth the money? So would a free trial be better for that, or a few previews of past songs?

I personally think that the "internet" does need to learn about Congress, or at least be aware of what is going on. ICANN controls the root DNS servers for TLDs, and before ICANN, the US government did.

I agree with you. I think the free market infatuation many US politicians have without truly understanding it is a major reason for our predicament. That said, a free market is capitalism at its purest, and in a free market, we'll get sweat

It's not that any and all forms of capitalism are bad, but capitalism has its benefits and its drawbacks. Obviously, there are lots of benefits. The aforementioned effects are some of its drawbacks. I'm not sure why people have this notion

A few things: 1) There's an old game called Rocky's Boots, it subtly teaches engineering basics and is fun as hell. If you haven't checked it out yet, most definitely do. 2) Regarding computer teachers, krschmidt is definitely right. Teache
