I definitely cannot say enough good things about Weebly. It is so nice to see technology that allows users that have no knowledge of Content Management, CSS, HTML, and other web technologies to create clean standards compliant web sites. I

Yes, but when you are at Stanford you are then contributing your knowledge and skills to the Stanford research community. It doesn't matter whether you were at Stanford when you wrote the paper about curing cancer because a researcher at a

If something is effective and has been for the past 50 years then it seems like it would be easy to run a scientific study that proves it. If the science disagrees, or at least doesn't conclusively prove that it works, then it seems to me

As much as I like to criticize Microsoft and Bill Gates, I am nothing but impressed with the way Bill, Melinda, and Warren purport themselves here.

Wow I really like this game! My company occasionally does engineering challenges for fun and I'm going to recommend this for our next one. The last one we did was competing Robocode ( http://robocode.sourceforge.net/ ) bots. They're writ

Listening to someones needs and then deciding what is best for them is not democratic at all. I think that you are really stretching here.

I think that there may need to be some extensions to HTML to support 3D rendering interfaces, but most of the changes should be handled in CSS. HTML is all about content. If someone wants to render their site navigation as a 3D ball at th

Thats brilliant to use Selenium RC for the scripted deletions. Selenium is incredibly flexible and easy to script, though not very fast which is probably why they have such a backlog. Also because it is all coming from a legitimate browse

Could this hurt startups? Yes. Is this a reasonable compromise when considering the entire financial industry? Yes.

One of the things that I've always liked about Weebly is that I could recommend it to friends and family and know that they would practically have to end up with a nice looking site. All of the provided themes were well done in my opinion.

This seems so obvious to me as someone who uses a computer constantly. Like the example in the article about tying shoelaces, you aren't thinking about your fingers or hands or keys or mouse but the effect that those things are conveying f

I'm not exactly sure what a private framework means. Is this like a shared library that they are all using? What is the problem with doing that from Apple's point of view?

My two 16 year old cousins go to Harriton. They were thrilled that they got free laptops for use at school. I've frequently seen them or their friends post videos to Facebook which makes me think that they know that if the light is on, the

I understand that many of us disagree with with what Jason is saying in his comments, but I don't think that we should be downvoting his comments below 1. He is at least making an attempt at reasoning argument for his actions, and taking t

I'm with this guy about a lot of these things, except for CSS3 and HTML5. I just can't get excited about either of these standards. I'm so upset that my utopian world where HTML could be parsed by anything other than a huge C program has

I can't get by this guy's prose. Something just seems off about it. Maybe I shouldn't be cruising HN this... late. It always seems like anyone qualified enough to fix a computer could make way more per hour doing programming or IT work. Com

Is this a long running problem? I remember reading somewhere that most of the problems with old hi/fi and tv electronics were due to bad capacitors which can easily be replaced.
