Instead of weasel words what you need is a description that covers how you get done what it is you do. In fact its my experience that people who identify as programmers, hackers or coders are much more down to earth about solving problems a

Thanks to SwellJoe for setting it out straight, really why I bothered posting this - so slashdotters could have an inside opinion on the process. Yes they are angry sheep, but they are our geek brethren. http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid

Yeah I make orthodontic software and just finished a prototype 3d scanner (structured light style thing for those in the know). That sort of my day job, although I own a 1/3 of the business. I really want to do some web2.0 ideas I've got on

Well at least unions have become cartels. I don't see a problem with voluntary bodies representing workers, advocating for them as a body and so forth. In fact I think remove special protections for unions would make them more accountable t

I wouldn't back down so much if I were you. I think its entirely possible the iphone wont sell quickly enough for prices to drop, at least in its current incarnation. For all the hype about the iPod's interface these days, I remember the th

It won't be long before they bundle it with IE and then start adding features that only work with IE. I don't think microsoft has the patience to do it any other way. Also it's now becoming clear why microsoft was never interested in putti

Or a hierarchy a Lisp parse tree? Its great to see people thinking beyond procedural languages but there is a lot more to computer science than Lisp.

What I don't understand is why we treat artists like retards. They don't need to be saved from themselves and they enter into these deals more than willingly. Artists like to pretend that they are at the mercy of the labels whilst supportin

It's an interesting attitude but I think she's wrong. A big company is already serving billions of customers so they have a lot to lose. If a big company launches a service and its not an immediate success people will attack the brand. Also

As long as the 53,651 are actually interested in using it, not just having a look or thinking about the startup behind it. I imagine thats the problem with traffic from places like techcrunch.

Of course the other side of that is the fairly common situation where someone in the team of 5 is doing 5x the work for 1x salary, and management has no idea until months (if ever) after they leave...

As someone who did a PhD in a creative kind of computer science field and felt frustrated by the success of those who choose more trodden PhD paths - I was going to agree with this. But in start-ups as well as PhDs success is defined by the

A PhD is really a lot of grind especially at the end. I don't think you can really do both a startup and a PhD well at the same time. You can't really do either without a reasonable level of commitment so if your heart is with the start-up

Well its not a totally useless link submission, gives people a chance to comment on the site. I really like the idea of this site, it was the entrepreneurial stuff that brought me to reddit in the first place. It seems like a missed opportu
