As a colour blind person I appreciate the attempt, but this system does absolutely nothing to help me. The kind of place where my colour blindness is an issue, would be a map like this one http://strangemaps.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/jeo

Not etherpad, but I found it worked better for me on a bad internet connection with a slow processor. http://moonedit.com/

I like it, and see a lot of uses for RCapture during the debugging stage. However, I can't think of a situation off the top of my head where it would be preferable to add a hook to a method rather than change the method itself. As the creat

Had to link to this because the comments made for such interesting reading. Is there anything in the entrepreneurial world that suffers this stigma? (socially acceptable if free, illegal/frowned upon if money changes hands)

This is timely, as I've started working on an MMO as a side project. Of note: I think your wiki has been hacked.

This could end up leading to the rise of "black hat" search engines. Search engines that don't bother with trivial details like "robots.txt".

I'm surprised you feel that way. I also work for a local newspaper, and a our largest demographic is the 55+ group. It seems like getting the facebookers (the under 30s) onto our site could really help. That being said, I don't know how I'd

The crazy thing is, he just told the exact same story about beginning programming as I would tell. The only difference, is that I'm 21, and my first experience was drawing circles on a TI-83 graphing calculator in high school. It has a grap

http://musopen.com/ is a pretty decent archive of classical music. Not quite what you're looking for, but a useful resource if others are interested

This may not be exactly what you're going for, but it could be helpful in gathering data and encouraging people to follow through with it. If you were to make a book related "outside your comfort zone" website, what you could do is get reco

Aside from functionality issues mentioned elsewhere, you have some problematic UI issues to work through. For one, it took me 3 tries to click "expand" in the little preview box. I kept overshooting with my mouse, and then the box would clo

I don't have his problem, but I still think an alarm clock with weight sensors on my bed is an awesome idea. In much the same way that having lights that turn on when you enter a room is cool, having an alarm that turns off when you get up

The Kindle is subsidized. You pay $9.99 every time you buy a book for it. If I'm going to spend more than $100 on something like this, I really don't want to have to continue to pay to keep it useful. On the other hand, to subsidize the Kin

Reading the other comments, it looks like your biggest problems are false positives. It might not be a bad idea to put together some kind of feedback mechanism - in the event that I disagree with the sentiment/tags/categories that I could p

You need need need a portfolio. So far all I can see is one logo (yours) and it's not really the branding I'm looking for. A portfolio would reassure me that you have a broader range, or that you excel at doing one kind of logo really wel

I have to say, I love this. I'm a typography enthusiast with horrible, horrible handwriting, and an even worse signature. What I'm worried about though, is dropping $30 on a signature and possibly not liking your 3 options, or even worse, f

I've dealt with nail chewing my entire life. In the past year, I've (mostly) overcome it. My solution: chewing gum. Keeps my mouth busy so I don't bite my nails. I go through a lot of gum, but I've broken the habit of biting my nails, so I'

"somewhat patchy" is an understatement. it's probably the buggiest software I use on a daily basis. That being said, I use it on a daily basis and wouldn't dream of going back to doing things the old way.

I don't eat organic vegetables due to a lack of preservatives. I cook only for myself, and I often find my irradiated, preservative laced, genetically engineered food going bad. If I bought organic, I'd never get to eat anything. :/
