The nice thing about this is that it gives people who want to break into 'design' a place to get their first jobs perhaps, without having to cultivate a a flow of contacts. I imagine people who are already experienced designers will have a

I used to work in NYC and we could see the helipad out of our window, and when the president came to visit there were three identical choppers, presumably so that if you wanted to try and shoot him down you'd be playing 3-card monte.

I wonder whether Watson 'reads' the question or if the questions are fed to it directly as parameters, or if it has to 'listen' to the spoken words and start thinking about its response after that.

Its too bad the matching funds aren't available to the companies themselves and not just the investors. It would be great to be able to double your investment round with a government matching grant.

Another path that you can use if you are already at a big company is to try and distinguish yourself there and move up within that organization. Of course this depends on the people you are working with, but if you have a good manager and

If there is a preponderance of younger success stories w/r/t age of the founders of successful internet companies, or the average age of programmers working for those companies, my bet would be that is due to an increase to risk aversion as

My view is its similar to opening a laundromat across the street from an existing laundromat. Is it unethical? Wrong question. Would it piss you off if you owned the other laundromat? Yes. Golden Rule applies. On the internet any webs

Wow thats a great analogy. What if you had a nano-replicator? I guess at that point we would have to be nearing the end of scarcity, right? Because you'd only need 2 nano-replicators to turn dirt into just about anything. And I guess at

Yeah - most of the people pirate because its easy and relatively risk free. They would never think of 'pirating' a car. Who came up with the term pirating anyway? It adds a glamor that 'stealing' just doesn't have.

Unrelated - but I love the look and feel of your site. It doesn't feel like a web page at all - more like a document. Its pretty striking.

Thank you! They have also mentioned 'redemption' and 2x preferred stock - both of which kind of ring bells.

Fair enough downvoters - I can see why mine was a bad question. I actually just happened to have need for a software license for a potential software deal and was planning to ring up our lawyer, and just hadn't cognitively put 2+2 together

Hey - does anybody know if there are some free software license agreements on the web that are good? Looking for something that says basically Company X can use Product B for free for a certain period of time and won't be jerks about it.

What is great about this movie review, for me, isn't the exact point-by-point analysis that the author makes, but the fact that author is noted futurist Ray Kurzweil. It would be like having Colin Powell review the Hurt Locker - its just
