Offtopic and I'll eat the downvotes accordingly: Submitter, your link in your profile appears to be broken. I attended school with someone sharing your name (doubtful it's actually you) and was going to look up your profile. Just a heads

On the plus side, you're only 28. Nothing to stop you from engaging in those experiences in a few years, rather than just yet. I was in nearly the same boat as you - debts (not student loans, misspent youth instead) and have nearly elimina

I don't want to speak for GP, but if their thinking is anything like mine, it would be: My name isn't and never would be on that list.

I'm not sure how Jim Balsilie is ever, ever allowed to make a public statement of any kind, or why PR representatives around him don't reign him in a bit. Anyone who follows hockey news has probably seen him in action in the same light, rub

Another option you could have tried would be to make contact with someone trustworthy outside of your country, transfer them money to make a legal purchase and ship it to you. Much more time consuming, certainly, but if you wanted to exhau

I wonder if that name has some serious potential marketing for Sprint/AT&T/Verizon or whatever when their networks advance further. Already Sprint pushes "4G", and while it may be meaningless (or at least poorly representative), they m

What about other forms of harsh winter conditions - extremely low temperatures (including wind chill)?

In my previous development experience for a fantasy gaming website, I dealt with Stats Inc and the API/datasets they provided. Without permission I don't think it would be fair for me to provide you a direct contact, but they did offer all

That's a tremendous waste of whatever it cost to register two domain names and host them.

It's not the Twitter data I care about, or what happens to the Twitter data. It's not even the difficulty of creating a throwaway Twitter account. I just personally prefer to keep all of my accounts segregated from each other, each for th

I feel that's a flawed attitude. It's like reverse entitlement. Were I a startup founder, I would make it my goal to ensure that EVERY. single. potential customer can use my site, within my capabilities. (edit: I don't know why you're gett

Just as bad, in my mind. But I could be alone on that.

You don't send the note because you have something to gain (in my opinion). You send it because you wish to be courteous, and for no other reason, and with no other expectation.

I really only glanced at the code so I could be wrong here. But it appeared to me as though the main loop was written with something like, 1000 / 60, which was probably intended to cap at 60fps. If you took that code and modified the loop

I have tried paleo, lacto-paleo, low-carb, and some variants in between. Not because I put any great stock in them, but because I wanted to observe their effects on my body. In all cases, I did lose weight (I am not anywhere near overweigh

The first time this happened: "The company engages in regular “random acts of kindness”: workers form a noisy conga line and single out one of their colleagues for praise. The praisee then has to wear a silly hat for a week." I would make i

I will certainly concede that, especially given that this isn't anywhere near my realm of knowledge - I'm strictly a coder and don't have the vision or insight into product presentation, preparation, or anything like that. However, my insti

Yes, P does indeed stand for product. And this is not a product. Not yet, anyway.

The "V" in MVP stands for viable. As is, the Diaspora code base is not viable. Not even minimally so.

Sorry, I didn't write very clearly in my post. What I meant to imply (and did poorly) is that many people, no matter what, would not be comfortable with the notion of picking up a gun in the name of self defense. You sound like you would,

Obtaining, training with, and carrying a firearm are not "reasonable precautions" for a lot of people.

I recognize that as a CBS science/tech correspondent, it is this person's job to write this blog. So in that context, I don't take as much exception to his writing about his decision to quit. But for an ordinary person, it seems equally as

It looks surprisingly advanced, from a screenshot perspective - more than I admit I would have given them credit for. Is there additional insight into what "aspects" are, though? It confuses me - will it confuse an ordinary user?

When I searched for GloSnake, it showed up briefly and then disappeared. I can't seem to get it to come back again. (edit) When getting as far as "Glos", it shows up. If I type beyond that, it seems to disappear.

Alter your perspective on it a tiny bit: It's Monday morning and you're sitting in a cafe, negotiating and moving forward the sale of your startup. You're about to go outside and bike in the fresh air. Places you're not: - working a menial

What's not offensive to you (burning words on paper) still has the propensity to be offensive to some. Effigies are just straw or wood, but burning them can be abhorrent to some witnesses.

The two topics are wholly unrelated. Net neutrality relates to ISPs and their customers rights to access any data they please, not the choice of a hosting company to accept or reject content.

Free speech is not the opposite of offensive. Free speech can be, and often is, offensive as hell. (edit: Quick clarification - this comment is not meant to indicate, either way, my stance on the act of burning Qu'rans or flags, or any othe
