The study involved 100 college students. Maybe that might have some sort of application to college students, but I'm not so sure it would hold up if they'd studied the general population of Facebook users.

Maybe it'd work better for folks like me who shop at big&tall stores... We have the perfect body for this t-shirt. Finally, all my McDonald's days are about to pay off!

I've downloaded and will seed for a couple days or so, at the least - in the interest of testing. :) Also, I've uploaded my album for a little larger test: http://burnbit.com/torrent/153663/Daychilde_Journey_Beginnin...

I think "vacation" is a critical consideration. I'd love to spend a few days living 'in' a particular time period. And then get back to reality.

But they've missed the true comparison. The question isn't: "Would a London cabby using satnav software without having learned the city do better than a London cabby who learned the city?" The question is: "Would a London cabby using satnav

The problem is that it's difficult to find a better solution. If all goes well, Paypal is generally by far the best option. If all goes poorly... not so much. But for most, it goes well.

Aww, I always wanted to find out how to type upside-down. :-( Joking aside, thank you very much for the feedback. You've given me some things to think about and directions in which to head.

Thank you very much for the reply and advice. I actually did open a dialogue with a Microsoft recruiter - they want more than I have right now, but it's a possible direction, for sure. Thank you especially for the profile advice - didn't re

What are you looking for in an entry level programmer or intern?

Talk to HACU about their HNIP program - that's http://hacu.net/ and http://hnip.net/ I interned in Seattle via that program with the US Forest Service - speaking as an intern, they provided a good helping hand (set up my housing, took r

I don't know if the laws have changed since 1995, but back then when I worked for AT&T, you could have your telephone service turned off for using profanity across state lines. I was actually a part of making this happen for someone who

Not quite the issue here. You absolutely have the right to free speech in the US. But any owner of private property can pretty much ban you from that property, for example (there are certainly some protected exceptions, but in general 'the

The nice thing, though, is that there's an option to turn it off for those that don't like it. I'm not sure if it'll prove to be too distracting vs. mildly helpful for me, yet.

Fifty pounds? You must have huge feet. But on the topic at hand (as it were): I was hoping for some German-inspired mashup name, like "Device that allows one person to sometimes hear part of what another person is saying, no matter where

Reddit Gold was an immense success, allowing them to spin up a number of virtual servers. Speaking as one, I noticed the slowness and time-out problems basically went away as soon as they spun up those servers. Whatever the financial relati

A million monkeys banging on typewriters occasionally produce insightful comments by sheer random chance. They still produce more insightful comments than Youtube commenters.

I'll check that out, although I haven't played with Ruby at all - I'm a PHP guy. :-)

I've used Plone; I've looked a Drupal, Joomla, and Typo. In my mind, these systems try to offer a complete GUI development interface. They're complex and difficult to learn. Basically, I think there's a need for something far simpler. The f

Addendum: To some degree, I'm really inspired by WordPress. I think: WordPress makes it really easy to make a functional and useful website; although pages feel like they were a little strapped on; and making new page templates is a little

I notice they didn't use hand-drawn elements to try and emphasize the "P.S. Contact us today to increase your conversion rate!". Of course, using them on that specific article might not have helped, since examples of the elements are used,

I really like being able to select two colours like that - and the in-between colour is even better. Love that.

It would be really cool to see CMYK support - I prefer HSL to RGB to find good colours that work together; but I prefer CMYK to even HSL It would also be cool if multiple copies of the tool could dynamically be added to pick multiple colour
