I think a lot of the indie games that have come out the in past several years have been at least interesting and in some cases, innovative. Look at those like world of goo, minecraft, braid, space chem, sanctum, etc.

Isn't it kinda odd one has to run rails to run it locally though as opposed to like.. Noir or some such?

Wow. So many things incorrect..let's just look at one. "The set operating systems used in the enterprise is fairly small: RHEL5, RHEL6, Debian 6, Ubuntu LTS." In germany and portions of europe, add SUSE. In korea, add HPUX. If you're in ph

Well...I think FICO scores should be revamped anyways, but if you're shopping for loans, from what I recall, you only get hit once per 30 days (as obviously if you're in the market for a loan, you shouldn't be negatively affected for every

But pragmatically if they switch banks behind the scenes, that would usually require a hard credit pull every time it occurs. This would seem to hurt a person's credit score if that was what actually occurred (that's why the semantics are

But that's not what you said. You stated "but seriously gastro-pubs are silly, get some real restaurants people". I provided several excellent counterexamples. You then state "All up scale restaurants are "real restaurants"". That's poor

Nit: Some employees vest stock. Some vest options. Companies are different. I've been in a multitude of startups. Two were stock, one was options. For example, the current startup grants restricted stock units.
