Sincerely, what I think you should do is to partner with Mailboxes etc. (or similar) (or even with FedEx) and have the postcards printed in the appropriate local zipcode. Postcards of the Grand Canyon need to come from the Grand Canyon. Pos

Yes I really it. I hope you succeed with it, (and that YouTube goes the route of hiring you rather than shutting you down!) On my wish list for your app would be the ability to synchronize two browsers to the same stream....

I don't listen to voicemail, but it is rude not to accept it just as it is rude to leave long messages on voicemail. The caller has already connected with you, for you to tell them to then hangup and try again with a txt or email is pretty

A trillion years ago, I had to get 50 Lisp machines speaking in an SNA network to American Express' IBM mainframes. The programmers of two companies got our network engineers together, and we designed a protocol to minimize network overhea

I'm so new here. Why would someone downvote my comment? Noting there are two types of people with different needs and predictable responses and asking how to make money... Sounds very appropriate for a hacker forum. And the basis of arbit

I want to see this make it down to the phone, ala Qik (which is currently broekn on the Nexus One (or was as of a month ago)). Then I'd really like to see an explosion of #copwatch #tsawatch live videos. #civilliberties

I received my reject letter, which is fine, just filling it out helped me sort out a lot of ideas. I shall place it next to my NASA Astronaut reject letter. I was surprised to find out how obesi-phobic they are!
