i'd point out the fact that because of this video, this kid got at least one (public) job offer. not from a big/famous company, but a smaller game dev shop. so, you could say that him producing this was actually a pretty good resume/portfo

i dunno about that. we're probably seeing one of his larger sales periods, as it enters into the mainstream from obscurity. it might continue to do well, but i'm skeptical that he'll be able to keep up the rate at which it is currently sel

i think its just indicative that IE will always be behind the curve. or, to look at it differently, they're a big company willing to let others blaze the trails while they follow behind at a safe distance.

i don't know enough about SL to make a good comparison, but here's an attempt: you can die in minecraft, there are enemies (in the non-free version), physics rules are static, there are no scripts, and its not massively multiplayer.

how refreshed you are when you wake up is more a function of when you wake up relative to your sleep cycles. you can do two things -- set yourself a consistent, permanent sleep schedule (always go to bed and wake up at the same time), or r

at least the 99 bottles challenge looks to be a direct ripoff of codegolf. or vice versa.

yeah, and google instant is just a google search that pulls up results as you type them.

you'd be surprised. i have a bunch of friends who read XKCD for some of the generically geeky content, and to who i have to explain a lot of more technical punchlines to. including the premise behind little bobby tables. there's a lot of

with the consistent misspelling of "entrepreneur", this just hit a new level of entertaining. i wonder if an angel in the group just funded the moonraker laser.

i think that would be an interesting statistic to look into. how many YC founders come from well-off families? how many successful tech company founders come from well-off families?

i really hate pointing it out, but working on a scrappy startup straight out of school is either for the exceptionally talented or for the people who have/had the financial support of their parents.

i'd point out the fact that you don't have to follow the "standard tech startup" checklist if you have a good idea. get a real job to help pay down your bills, save up, and work on your company in your free time. or work on your startup mo

as has been stated before in other threads in this topic, the decision to use oracle products is rarely a technical one. its a business one, made by business/managerial types. and so that is who oracle plays to. if you build a product th

perhaps he's trying to lump it into some sort of category that is accounted for by the 'american way of life'. coronary disease is at least somewhat affected by living a healthier lifestyle.

seems that the switch allows them to funnel people into the head terms, away from the long tail, which would improve their cache performance, saving money (which was briefly mentioned in the article, too).

so, then, would you think that there is a place for a business similar to groupon but focuses more on trying to cut deals that encourages the growth of repeat business and/or good customers?

i could've sworn that there was an article recently stating that $60k was the magical number for an individual, since you mention it. edit: its in this TED talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/daniel_kahneman_the_riddle_of_exper... and we've ta
