On the flip side I am often glad that I only prepare and don't jump into coding/doing. It would take me a lot longer to figure out that it was a bad idea if I am coding and not sketching out the full thing. I have a whole blog of http://

First disclaimer: Before doing any of these see the appropriate legal rules around this as at least in the US dealing with 'alternative' currencies are not exactly looked positively on. First ideas that just push bitcoins around: 0) Another

Clicked on the first link to the doom project to find not a single link to a "screenshots" page. For a remake of a game I can't help but wonder if you could screw up the marketing any more than that.

One thing I noted in the talk is that Pixar didn't force their employees to work over christmas before diving into fixing Toy Story 2. I have been close to two groups that have had to do this and it is clear that the morale hit is never wo

Even worse the other queues can't easily find out if movies in their queue are streamable which is really irritating when I get a dvd that I could have streamed.

As you are most certainly already aware you never start a article with "As you are most certainly already aware" because it is looking down on your reader.

You are hardwired to believe authority. Growing up that authority was your parents and it was in your interest to blindly believe them because then you could learn faster. There is an evolutionary benefit to believe authority.

Just about to say the same thing, the fact that the article highlights in a fashion just to scare you: "In his house, sonne had acetone and hydrogen peroxide—common chemicals that can be used to make a bomb" But fails to say that could have

Also more of Europe is plain old walkable or bikeable. When I lived in Oslo I didn't even own a car. In the states there are very few spots you can get by without a car. Even if I wanted to bike from my house to some places there flat ou

Actually no, under the GPL they don't have to put the source code on the web. They just have to make it accessible when you request it. If no one requests it then they really don't have to put anything on the web. From a community karma

Having participated in the netflix recommendation contest I can say that the core engine is very good, but the presentation could be so much better. Some instant ways to make things better: - Let me know when a movie on my que is available

While it read very negative the end sums it up in a much better light: "In some cases, McDonald’s franchises may have taken the opportunity to truly hire new employees. But, for the most part it was for show. Even the second largest commerc

You shouldn't have to look for stuff to watch. What you want to do is to rate content first and make up a que of stuff you want to watch. Then go through and sort the movies based upon what they think you will like (or just click the reco

There are a lot of interesting ideas that you could put together when everyone has a private screen. I wrote up the cons and pros of having such a system and where the innovation will come from when I was looking at tablets as the control

What I meant by the .textile is that on the site you shouldn't say 'push a .textile", you should say "push a *.textile such as foo.textile" I read it such that the file name had to be ".textile" which made me wonder how you would have more

It would be cool to have an input of my account and have it spit out users that live near me that have contributed to projects I own or contributed to projects I also have contributed to or am watching. It would be fun to meet up with some

It would be nice if I could click on a state on not just pre-selected towns or could put in the url such as my town WalthamMA and show those in Waltham MA (two towns over from cambridge).

I would have to agree. Pushing the canvas to the edge you can only do so much, but it looks like you could do much more with webgl. Does anyone know of any tech demos of 2d games backed by webgl?

Agreed. It is more useful in the end to just push our your code even if you add a "warning: this is one big ugly hack" as a readme.

If you live in MA or NJ check out the SREC's. They cause panels on your roof to pay back in only a few years (~4-6) and earn a small income until 2020 in MA (not sure about NJ) Looking at solar on my roof as an investment (never thought I

There is a difference between perfect code, nasty code, and ok code. It doesn't take much to turn a nasty patch into an ok one. Around 2002 or so I realized that all of my open source code could one day be read by someone looking to hire

One thing to watch out for is to make sure that you respond quickly. I have pretty much the same thing put into my contract at my current company, but I didn't put in a deadline for how long they could take to respond. This resulted in mos
