I've thought about that too. What if there is a civilization out there that are millions of years ahead of us. What can't they do? We think in human terms, but they might not have the need to spread to every planet. But they may want to sto

> Instead, it should be law that it's optional for the candidate to ANSWER them. Isn't every question optional? It's not like you go to jail if you don't answer a question. It's not a good strategy, but AFAIK it is legal

"And note that he didn't sell an idea - he sold a script that he has to write. Which is around a years work." I don't think it's so different. He sold the idea of a movie. The script is just part of the "implementation".

I use both Yahoo and Google. Why can't you just use <a rel="nofollow"...> or a robots file to stop them from indexing x-links?

I noticed that it took some time to process each answer. If I had made this, I would probably have loaded the answers and image URLs for each lesson only once, in a single JS file (preferably a static file). Then you would not have to conne

Another example is www.alltheweb.com. They were very good, but I switched to Google because it was easier to type :-) If they had a more catchy name and better PR they could have been in the position that Google is now.
