I second Rob's recommendation of DejaVu. And for those using X11 bitmap fonts, Terminus.

I'm asking the maximum value of n you could be offered such that you would still accept.

I assume that in this context, founders are the people whose names show up on the incorporation filing.

Unfortunately I think the sample bias that you mentioned makes this useless as any sort of statistical study. The one useful result I'd take from this is "succeeding as a single founder is possible".

I much prefer Java applets over Flash. They're much more open and don't have the 64-bit issues that it looks like Adobe is never going to get around to fixing.

During application season, you might want to make sure it still lets you in to edit your application.

If that's true, then it's a serious flaw in the methodology of the people who do the testing. They shouldn't allow the brewer to submit the samples. They should pick a few bottles of the same vintage from various retailers and mix them to

So was the sudden deluge of lolcat pictures onto Reddit also a voting ring conspiracy? I somehow doubt those get brought up in many of your real-life conversations either. Ron Paul is just another internet meme -- one which happens to be

While the population as a whole may be savvy and sophisticated, the 2% that respond to a bulk-mail personal ad might not exactly be a random sample.

Two million to retire comfortably? That's quite a standard of living. Supposing you're earning 6% interest and expect to live to 100, that's a budget of $10725 per month. That's enough to spend the rest of your life living in the penthou

In bottom-up design, the most fun part is implementing the lower strata. Runner-up: when you've just blindly written 1000 lines of Haskell code, then you run it through ghc and it typechecks on the first try.

If it's trivial to get there, then why wouldn't you be willing to go higher? Remember, you double your entire savings if you win. No matter how quickly your marginal utility curve flattens, it seems absurdly risk-averse to name any numb

Heh, so among a relatively homogenous group, the first two answers I've gotten vary by a factor of 90. Nice.

by dfranke 19y ago
It's only a confounding factor to the extent that the shape of the curve varies across cultures. The only reason that comes to mind for any such variation would be the availability of charitable handouts or government welfare, and that's o

I disagree with the comments saying that the purpose is unclear -- I understood immediately -- but this just seems like begging for being the butt of practical jokes. I don't want to wake up to getting rickrolled, and I don't want to not

I think you've got something here. $3 per registration really does sound like an arrogant dinosaur whose day has come. Don't go overboard on the social networking bit though. Just take some off-the-shelf forum software and add the abilit
