I'm a student (and an art student, at that, which requires a lot of physical presence, if not always mental), and it definitely requires a bit of effort to avoid burnout. I go to class during the day, and work for most of my evenings: was

Whatever you do, do not punish him for this. While what he did was not right (though your use of "hacking" here is very broad), instead of telling him how wrong it was, simply try to push him in a more positive direction. My suggestion wo

You're completely missing the point. There is a huge difference between illegal and dishonest . As far as I know, yes, it isn't illegal to pay for a published review but it surely is a dishonest business practice. At the very minimum, th

Oh please. His main complaint is that Craigslist isn't "doing more." Why should it? Do the users like it as is? Yes (with some exceptions, of course). Then they don't have to do more. If someone thinks they can do better, no one is stopping

Perhaps I'm missing something important here, but how are these companies (Facebook, Twitter, et al) being valued? I know there is "potential" value here, but who comes up with the actual numbers?

I'm not trying to moralize against anyone, nor am I trying to sound like I am in any way more "right" than someone who cannot afford to simplify as much. I only stated that the quality of these items these stores sell is generally terrible.

Though this article isn't all that well written, it brings up what seems to be a (very good) trend lately: people exploring the idea of living with less. I'm only a college student right now, and already have limited expenses, but I've been

I have a lot of experience with considering the tradeoffs necessary to do click analysis on a decently large scale (and the results of that will be shown, provided I can finish VisTrac). Analysis and collection presents a very interesting p

I hate to sound like wet blanket, but from my personal experience, browsing sessions by themselves aren't all that useful in learning about your users. Over the past few years, I've worked a lot with recording browsing sessions (I was the

Looks like it isn't "officially" released as the main site hasn't yet been updated, but it probably will be soon. I have to say, though, of all the web frameworks for python, I particularly like this one for its simplicity (and it's release

While in all likelihood, this was done for cost-cutting purposes (as the article states), I actually like the idea. I'm a college student myself, and while I have an email address with the school, I just have all my mail forwarded from that

I think Atwood is missing the bigger picture that both writing and programming are forms of creating . They are both textual, sure, but they fall better under this bigger umbrella of design. So I wouldn't say coding is just writing, they j

This is actually fascinating. I'm not totally surprised by these numbers (350 million messages, only 28 sales), but I am glad to see that there are people out there actually attempting to figure out what the true numbers are (as opposed to

This is particularly interesting, especially as opposed to the plastic and resin-based printers. While less useful should someone want to actually use the printed parts, it definitely has its uses under a great number of circumstances, such

The problem isn't that the project lost sight of its original goals. It sounds more like the goal of this project wasn't clear between groups. Stallman stated that "the plans aimed for low cost, enabling many children to use the machines, a

Both of these options are very similar ;) Ignoring that, though, the fact of the matter is that I don't think most of us come here for political discussion (I know I don't). If I want that, I'll go to Reddit for the immature discussion, or

While I agree with what the general gist of the article entails, don't let the UI get in the way, I don't particularly agree with all of the specifics. My main problem with this article is the fact that the author pits "experience" against

It should start filling up quite a bit more today...the word had just rolled over last night (from "debate" to "absurd") and my friends have not submitted new images quite yet. I do very much appreciate the input, though!

That was my sign during last night's pre- and post-debate, on MSNBC. It got me a few new users, but not quite as many as I'd have hoped.

I'm really curious to see what happens with this. Obviously, Microsoft wants to match (and eventually outdo) Google in the advertising market, hence their desperate attempts to swallow Yahoo. Unfortunately, I don't actually think an acquisi

I...don't really like this article, frankly. Other than being fairly light on information to begin with, the title brings up (what I believe is) the least important part of the article. I can't really speak to being married and trying to ru
