Agreed with all of the above points. Beautiful and easy to use. The "You're doing great! To continue, you'll need to register or sign in. Otherwise all that awesome progress you've made will be lost. Sign In\Register (it's free)" dialog is

Haven't felt like this, but as sp332 says "Programming is a big field". I would broaden that even further to I.T. Is a big field. Why not think about such sub-categories such as DBA, Analysis/Reporting/Sharepoint Services developer, or even

My interpretation of this "slight" is that Warren Buffett uses money as a measure of success. It does not imply any sort of lifestyle just that he strives to be more successful and that means having more dollars. After having read a biograp

An 11+ minute demo video? IMO it's a tad long, should be between 1-3 mins. Also, perhaps the screenshots need captions explaining what they are? E.g. what's with the one of the faded out garden and the highlighted flower bush. I don't get i

Being from New Zealand the first thing I look for on e-commerce sites is the currency of the quoted price and the availability (and charges if applicable) of international shipping. I could find neither on your site. Apart from that it's a

I'm from one of those countries where 'color' is spelt 'colour' and I'm glad to see www.colour.com is owned by them also. I doubt it cost as much though. It would also be interesting to see if searching for 'colour' in the respective app st

Not in itself. The interesting bit would be playing with different UI's and testing backwards compatibility of settings and apps. Such as the OP video does between upgrades. I wouldn't mind seeing the same video idea with Ubuntu. Somehow I

My personal photos. Always the first thing to be backed up and always the first thing to save in a disaster. Either I can use the time-capsule as a safe backup and come back to it in 60 years. Or someone else will find it in another time (f

I disagree. A high PE ratio in general is not a direct expression of my 'insight' in general. However in this case it probably is. Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't looked at ARM's figures previously. I guess I was 'overplaying', altho

I agree that the pro's trading ARM will have already figured out its significance ... however (based on no evidence what-so-ever) there is surely many more people that haven't figured this link out. When/If ARM hits the spotlight in years t

These would be pretty cool with a few extra features. Say flashing in time with music or sound as you are speaking. Or wirelessly connected so that they sink and can act out 'symphonies' of light displays. Great for advertising!

Reminds me of Terry Goodkinds 'Wizards First Rule' "Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true." Although the wording from the book is quite strong,

disappointingly there is still a bit of lag in there. Though I'm sure that can be improved in time. It would be interesting to see him swing the stick around faster, see if the rendering can keep up an still track the stick when it is a blu

I agree. Balance is key here. A bit of DRY to keep things tidy and a bit of copy/paste to get things moving and working as quick as possible. The company I work for has been very much anti-DRY. They copy and paste pretty much everything and

I agree. This discussion prompted my question. I just read your comment there and I take it you think a week or two before following up with them is a good length of time?

To further your first point, since this is what I often do. When planning out the project and its timeline and fitting in what needs to be done, I will manage the tasks so that big and small tasks are alternated. For example, I will schedul
