   If you're unwilling to code, tell a developer what your idea is, tell him/her what you bring to the table (other than "ideas"), and offer the dev a generous share of the revenue and equity(for a two person team, at least 40%). There is no r

   If he had never tried he would not be as happy with his current career. Knowing that he tried but it didn't work out is what makes him satisfied with his current job. I mean can you imagine living life as an accountant and regretting all th

    Boring can be good, from a usability perspective. Metro seems to be their big selling point now and I imagine they want the branding to reflect the usability of the product. Not trying to give you grief. I agree it's kinda boring, I'm just

    Once the enemy's shields are down it only takes one or two photon torpedos, much more efficient. In addition, I don't know of any species in star trek with the technological capability to transport hundreds of people from a ton of different

    Not always. Sometimes their time isn't worth the extra commission and they're better off working on other leads. Same goes for a real estate agent selling your house, why should they spend a week trying to sell for five or ten thousand more

    The intent of the campaign wasn't to Google bomb Santorum and it wasn't an attempt to "game Google's search rankings". The original intent of the campaign was to define the word "Santorum" and the fact is, it was successful. Now that there

    I believe c# has something similar too, "using" using (FileStream fs = File.Open(path, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None)) { Byte[] info = new UTF8Encoding(true).GetBytes("This is some text in the file."); //

    He's pretty explicit that the idea is: consciousnesses is a strange loop, and since it's sometimes impossible to understand a system from within that system, we may never be able to understand the human mind because we are trapped within hu

    Great concept, looks nice. My only complaint is that, I know I worked out for two hours yesterday and one earlier today, how do I enter in that data? It would be nice if I could keep track of that without starting and stopping the timer in
