   that's awesome. I love the OP's attitude : "How do I feel about this? Great :) If not me, at least my code made it to a 3 second clip in a Hollywood Movie :) ". It kind of makes me angry for him though that they didn't even bother to give h

   I really like this idea, because I think it solves a problem, also the implementation looks very nice! I'm assuming this is a Show HN (if so I'd be a good idea to rename), but anyway, heres some of my ideas. First, the keyboard shortcuts (n

   Think about it from their perspective. Imagine you are an HR person, maybe if its a start up the CTO, and you receive the application you've been sending out. How would you react? Would the application be memorable? Would it impress you and

   Personally, I don't think "rakuten" is any wierder than Toyota or Nissan. It might take some time getting used to but rakuten is a name that has branding potential, what is "buy"? For a similar analogy, try imagining a company that sells c

   If google is behind this as the article states, it just shows their hypocrasy behind their mantra of "supporting the open web". Given that companies with w3c leverage are behind this proposal does anyone think it will get through? Personall

    agree about the conditional, I was expecting some sort of functional alternative and was interested by the title, but on reading and realizing that the OP is proposing that "(n < 2)" evaluation and calling a func ptr as non-conditional

    I'd say go with Symfony2 or Laravel, from my experience as far as php frameworks go these are the best. Though I would suggest you consider going with something besides php if you're thinking more longterm on the MVP. Sounds like an ideal s

    That's not what I meant to convey at all. The idea is that cultures that have a different history, a history of conflict, blood and war - as one would probably guess just by observing the lines on this map - can come together, work together

    I'm definately pro EU and also quite aware of the Roman Empire's injustices, I just think its interesting that a map of the current EU member states - http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:EU_Member_states_and_Cand... , has a large overlap, m

    I especially found the map of europe Year 1 vs 2000 interesting. Hopefully, it won't take another 2k years for the EU to grow back together as a community. Of course, there are the intermittent 2k years that have divided us, but if you comp

    I can't agree more with your thoughts about radio. For me, I found that TV lets you slip in a passive mode where learning isn't optimized. When you're listening to a radio broadcasts, you're forced to concentrate on how the words sound and

    this idea is awesome. The "forking" idea is great for recipes, but you need almost something like a difftool to be able to tell what's different and why? I think with a better UI and way's for users to interact with each other this could b

    I'm learning rails/ruby right now. I don't know what your background is, but I'd say try to just build something. For instance, last weekend I built a todo app in rails and learned a lot about resources, routing, models, etc in rails along

    nope, think it probably has something to do with a data register, loading maybe? If not then no idea, I don't go that low-level, c and some x86 is a low level as I care to get.
