I'm curious, what is the licensing on the included Jack Claw source code? Could I mod it and release it? (Commercially?) What about the included media? PS. Attempted to get answers from fronzebyte via the in page "chat with frozenbyte" widg

I notice this was the result of testing stress relievers on [stressed] mice. It occurs to me, it's very likely that this "cure" would only work on stress related baldness, not necessarily genetic baldness. PS. I also feel compelled to menti

I really surprised at Google by this implementation--it seems like they didn't really think it through. When I'm searching for something, my behavior is usually: Google search term Open the top couple results in a new tab C

Thanks for the clarification. To me, as an idiomatic expression goes, it always made sense to be on the "lamb". I thought the expression had originated from shepherding--like a shepherd chasing after a loose sheep.

I kind of wonder if this is an alternative to the old "You've won a free trip, come to this location to collect your prize" used to catch criminals on the lamb. It seems like this might be a ploy to tempt the ego of the murderer into provid

It's all about price points. The crux of the problem is glanced in the last paragraph of the article "Imagine a robot that you could buy at Best Buy for somewhere between $2k and $4k." Right now, that just isn't feasible. For autonomous mob

This is brilliant. Not exactly an award winning comment, but it's literally what I thought when I was reading the quick start and got to the rendering section.

I hate to say it, but the question "It's impossible?" is my kryptonite--but in the opposite perspective. I accidentally established myself as a capable and competent worker at my job and have unfortunately given management the confidence th

It's funny, I so frequently forget that Y Combinator is not just news.ycombinator.com. Even how I word that makes me chuckle as I realize how contrary to reality it is. For me YC is simply a content aggregator that with a remarkable accurac

I think Chris and Steve mirror the two phases of problem solving. The first phase, the exciting creative process where the problem is a challenge. The second phase, is when the creativity is done, and now its simply a matter of following th

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to elevate myself or be self promotional. I'm by far not one of the smartest programmers. I'm a good programmer, I "get" programming but I'm far from even thinking about trying to teach others how to progr

I suggest that it is rather absurd for the professor to expect the students programming speed be on par with his own--unless he's asserting that he himself is a poor programmer. The one thing a professor aught to have in spades above his st

What now? You're statement is a little confusing. All our passwords are munged with encryption, they all look like hash garbage. How could they differentiate? My only guess is that perhaps you've interpreted my comment as a database entry,

Personally I love it, however I will never ever be able to employ it on our company website. However, the concept of incentivizing the password entry field has inspired me. Instead of something risqué like nudity, how about offering a coupo

I definitely agree. If given a control panel in a foreign language with three symbols from left to right and then shown a series of graphics representing sparse/denseness I would certainly see identifying the three options as low, middle, h

The truth is, despite my reply suggesting going straight to framework, going the from scratch is good if you're able and are willing to invest the time. But if you've got work to do, some times you need to learn as you work rather than lear

First and foremost, evaluate what you need/want to accomplish. Don't start with a goal like "I'm going to create a web site"--it is vague, and has no direction. Write down all the pages on the site that you plan to implement. An about page,

Of course you can . But in my experience, frameworks are a natural progression of good coding. My first several dozen websites were "from scratch" without any boiler plate code. Every page was it's own PHP file, every page had its own HT

The problem with freedom of speech is that it just guarantees a legal right to say something. It doesn't free you from the consequences of saying it. When you want to speak out against an majority belief, without anonymity you risk repercus

Bingo. I feel relieved now. Now, I actually recall the iconic arrangement of the letters for LOVE. However, I didn't recall the color scheme. Thanks for the wiki link.

It seems odd, that with our current level of technology we are considering how best to erect a warning using symbols. It seems to me that we should build monuments that utilize pictures and videos--warning by observation. One set of animati

It occurs to me, that this information may be a coup. Imagine that Mubarak's original intention to address the protesters tonight was to propose some compromise other than his immediate stepping down. An opposing party could use the opportu

I just created a dropbox account to test this out. Obviously there are no existing files in it. I looked for a button to create a new file and could not find one. If dropbox does not have a create file call for you to use, perhaps you could

Nice work so far, but from the demos it's missing an important layout feature commonly seen in magazines. Spanning an image or text insert half way between two columns and having the text of the columns flow around it. A quick example I fou
