I disagree with the part about religion and family. Don't give them ammo to discriminate against you.

I would like to think I'm a reasonably truthful person, and back when I was interviewing for a job, I always replied with the "work too hard" line. In part because I I sometimes do work too hard (don't we all?) but mostly because... how to

Wow, I bet that would be the www.wishbass.com Wishnevsky -- I actually have one of his basses; alas, it's too neck-heavy for me to play comfortably. But then, it was a one-off prototype based on a crazy idea of mine (how about a bass guitar

Yes, back in the day the Unix desktop was OK for development, compared to alternatives like DOS. But then, the Unix vendors also had almost complete control of the hardware stack. Seems that Alan Kay is right again: "People who are really

Wow, they sell a machine with non-functioning WiFi? Actually, I was planning to buy one of those Dell Lnux laptops; thanks for the heads-up.

I don't know... comments here have always had a dose of healthy skepticism. Now, if I never again read a comment starting with "meh", "yawn" or "shrug", I will die a happy man.

BTW, how do you ever get to that rfs3.html page?

Correct, the machine I was using had a debug version of Flash.

Looks great, very professional. The only problem I'm seeing is (in Chrome/WinXP) some white letters on the top left hand corner. Debugging messages maybe? Something like "Mem 38.66MB/ ... count: 0" on top of the "Story before bed" logo. Thi

I don't thinks it's a matter of the superior people vs the rabble. I'm sure a forum of 100 random YouTube commenters would be infinitely better than the YouTube comments section. It's a broken windows problem -- you see a forum where it's a

Kind of same here -- I think I first read about him on the Argentinian magazine "Humor y Juegos" (Humor and Games) some time in the late 70s/ early 80s. I guess most people with any interest in recreational mathematics/ puzzles will know of

Hi, the link tries to install some app on my (non-existent) iPhone. Is this the app? http://appshopper.com/navigation/gaia-gps-lite Based on the screenshot, my only nitpick would be that the colors on the compass are a bit too toned down.

Or it can also be a scam "congratulations you won the prize please dial '1'" call. I get them all the time since I got my cellphone 1 year ago -- mostly in Spanish, which kind of creeps me up (how did they figure out I speak Spanish? or is

Hi, OP here. Thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately I don't have anything to show at this stage. I always keep rewriting this thing in different languages, then leave it to do some other stuff. It would seem that the most efficient thing

I guess many users would pay $0 just so they can skip going through their internal procurement process. (Which in some places can be a hassle when buying software at any non-zero price.)

I guess it may work better if it's your underlings trying to interrupt, as is likely to be the case with Andreessen. Your boss or your users will probably be less impressed by an iPod. Maybe if it was a phone headset...

In this case it seems the mis-attribution was unintentional.

When I was 27 I would have found offensive to be called "a 27-year-old". Which age range do you need to belong to to be taken seriously? Because if he had been 67, he would also be referred to with a dismissive "a 67-year-old".

First of all, congratulations on reaching ramen profitability. That's not an easy task on the web and mobile markets. Now about going beyond ramen... I agree with dkokelley, you may already have squeezed all the money there is to be squeeze

There was less to know about the web back then, too. For starters, no CSS.

I found that especially on enterprise software, being web-based limits the amount of damage a mediocre programmer can do. Of course there are myriad ways of messing up the web experience, but native apps have all the OS resources at their d

I'm no computer scientist, hope I can comment anyway... Maybe add some graphics capability a la Logo? That way, you can see the turtle and the program going at the same time. Also, some kind of labelling/commenting of the different "areas"

Most of the time I confess that I don't upvote the topics I comment on. I just forget to do it, mea maxima culpa. Maybe the ranking algorithm could be changed so commenting on a topic is counted as an up-vote. That would have the bonus bene
