One thing that Stewart Butterfield did that changed the web was www.the5k.org. http://www.the5k.org/about.php They made people rethink what can be done with the web, and it brought out a lot of creativity. For example: My f

Yes, that is 388 lines, however, the title makes reference to the chess engine itself. The rest of the code, such as setting up the board, handling moves, and ui, are not specific to the sunfish implementation, they can be used without the

Another thing I noticed when looking through my comments, this service bills itself as 'your personal assistant who never sleeps'. If they are US based, I don't see how unless they have people working a night shift.

But you're also seemingly forgetting that cars these days are very safe, with airbags, seat belts, crumple zones, roll bars... this whole 'should it kill you' is not likely an issue these days. Look at all those idiots who cr

I'd say that in the example given in the article, the best decision would be to slam into the side of the tunnel instead of hitting the child. It makes no difference the age of the child, since if they are laying in the road, there

I can see it working maybe, but still, it seems like you could just put something up on CL just as easy, and nobody is going to pick up your stuff and return it, they will just pick it up when they buy it.

From what I've seen, it looks like it's not quite working. As far as I can tell, it takes a range of numbers, picks something random in between, and calls it a day. Most of those themes that I saw make me want to hire a designer b

Web2Py is a python-based website, like django, but it's a bit different. Since you say you are passing an authentication header, I don't see how it could work with Sandstorm, since it wouldn't really be used as a one-user app
