Sadly, people who can code out of high school are a dime a dozen. I can go to any local high school and find half a dozen kids at each that can hack some code together. I admire that you were able to autodidact your way into a successful ca

As somebody who banged around in the "I'm not going to college! I'm going to take on the world on my own terms!" mindset for quite a few years after high school, there are certainly people (such as yourself) that can make a great go of it

Lots of people unimpressed here for some reason. I bet if this was an HTML 5 demo we'd all be falling all over ourselves to talk about how awesome it is, and we'd see some copies by the end of next week. But because it's using flash... I fi

Considering how cheap storage is today (~$65/TB) is there really a reason to use shared DLLs in this day and age on the desktop?

I've heard from a few people that right after the update they had a bad day or two and then something sorted itself out in the phone. I'd recommend getting rid of any task management software/killers as well.
