Yeah, but good luck trying to reuse the same basic instructions to scan non-paper objects without multiple inheritance.

Nice proof of concept. It'd be more impressive with more sensible markup. The <b/> and <i/> tags are deprecated, and have always been intended to define the display of their innertext -- not much more. This requires the tags

I was at the Crunchies this year, and you could cut the tension with a knife between the TechCrunch and AOL people. AOL presenters were blatantly decrying how the event was organized -- everything from how TC used paid sponsorships to the o

Am I the only person who couldn't get anything out of this post because of its bad grammar?

Being a cash-only business is an annoying disservice to your customers. It's a sign that you're not interested in the value of convenience. It's a regressive attitude to lean on cash, and oftentimes a sign that you're not interested in keep

This is a brand protection move, pure and simple. Easier to throw money at it now than to waste a retained lawyer's time writing cease and desist letters later.

None of these really look like compelling business ideas to me. It seems as thought at best, the idea Thiel has is that if some angel out there can fund bright young people, they can develop business understanding and enrich their skills in

The Facebook integration is pretty unnecessary, and the entire site is totally unactionable. I see no data here, and I can't actually accomplish anything directly through the application. What is this supposed to do again?

I like that your approach is clean, yet configurable. Then again, most web-friendly languages already have a grip of MVC frameworks to choose from. Nice proof of concept, but I don't think your blog post would convince someone who didn't us

This claims to be a mirror, but it's sourcing the font file from the original website. That means if unicodesnowmanforyou.com goes down, so does the mirror. Not a mirror.

So, uh, what component of this browser isn't already addressed in a Firefox plug-in? I doubt it has things like performance increases that would make me choose it over, say, Chrome when I need to go faster than FF. If its intended audience

Good for you, spending all that money! How much do you have to spend to get your own feature in Modern Domainer Magazine?

I actually once worked for a discount/coupon code website whose main feature was the ability to save offers. It had a low adoption rate. People who are aware that you can save money using coupon codes or partner links on the Internet also g

Behold, an application with a business model based solely on the naive, inflated sense of importance of people working in marketing.

They could have at least compared a microbrew lager to the others. It's seriously comparing an orange to five apples.

As a linguist, I can say resolutely that your prescriptivism is basically pounding your fists against the immovable brick wall of change. All types of case are rapidly disappearing from English. It's a continuing trend and has been for hund

The real power of an application like this would be aggregating real-time news events as they unfold and creating news stories from real-time tweets, blog posts, and other social media. Instead of just clustering together topics, being able

Yeah, not only are they probably using two-year-old data, but if the confidence given is 97% for it being the wrong gender for me, I doubt that it's actually an effective tool. There are all kinds of fuzzy behavioral ways to analyze gender.

The plateau doesn't have to do with the points, but rather the content. If you're going to give an answer that's worthwhile, it would be nice to recognition for it. If you want recognition, you have to go after questions that haven't been a
