I personally lost all respect for how WikiLeaks does business after I offered several servers and was told that they didn't even want me maintaining login access to them. So I offered my development skills to help improve their setup and n

On 1, I didn't see a class declaration inside the mxml file for asteroids, but I may have missed it. For the unpredictablility, if global, any portion of the application can modify the values. This means you don't have any access control

chipsy covers a good number of concerns, and I unfortunately don't have time to enumerate the full list of issues seen in both, so I'll quickly cover some of the higher level issues: 1. (asteroids) Tracking state in a series of global varia

I think a lot of people don't understand, and never will understand, what's so trauamtic about combat. It's not that you could die at any moment over extended periods...I came to grips with my own mortality on the flight to my first combat

The problem with monetizing dating-style sites is the same as trying to make money with health care. Your system is at its best when people have one short trip and don't come back. This lack of repeat use means that it has to work so phen

Here's the problem with the current "employment opportunity discovery" mechanism. You need a large number of qualified applicants to review job postings and to reply to those, generating a "success" for a particular site for a particular c

Something else to remember is that when they get acquired, depending on where you moved to as they grew, you're left with a crappy payout and either get eliminated by the buying company or you're stuck with a well below market rate salary s

I think you're missing the personality differences. Several of the ventures I've been a part of I joined simply because it looked like such a challenge. I enjoy pushing the limits of my mind, of what I know and of what I can do. This isn

I see stealth-mode startups differently. They aren't to prevent "theft" of an idea. Instead, they're designed around using that first big opening to secure a position to grow from. Where general feedback may help, it would lessen this im

We have our common ground in that the current system is broken. My example of a single algorithm was based on the premise that for any algorithm, others can(are) incorporated into it (the algorithm can become synonymous with a cog, which w

You're mistaken. Every algorithm used in software can be created as a specific integrated circuit. Software is a means of controlling a general processor that performs sets of operations based on instructions it receives. No matter what

I've got a friend that works as an audio producer at a recording studio here, and I've sent the link off to him. I'm not sure, but I think they have an on-site system they use, but it may be something like MS Exchange, I really hadn't thou

The Zune's I've used are phenomenal products and much more suited to me than any of the ipods ever were. The touch-but-not-push button that also acts as a button, with the intuitive, clean, simple text listing for the UI is great. I perso

You may just want to offer an additional piece of hardware that lives on site and does the same logic as the web-based piece (everything's just forwarded to your backend systems for processing), only stores data if their internet is down (w

I had a long rant here, edited it to remove the vulgarities, edited to keep it fairly anonymous, and was left with just this sentence: Why on earth should someone have to change companies to get paid what they're worth?

I'd suggest including the differences in the $75 vs $150 tiers without having to submit a job. Would be kind of nice to know what you get for what money, or how much you'll be charged before you've given all the info away. Other than that

Don't forget about the fact that contracts separate out pay-schedules for different types of distribution. And since there is no way to identify how the original copy of the artwork being infringed was obtained, they have no contractual ob

It's not unheard of to have a moratorium based non-compete (specific markets/market types) in the license. Include support/availability for new features, etc. so they're likely to enjoy the license/throw more money your way and I'd go for

I'm at one far end of the spectrum, but I was reading Stephen King in 5th/6th grade, read Anna Karenina (chosen myself) in 7th grade for a book report and had read nearly all of Tolstoy's works by the end of 9th grade. My parents never had
