How about commenting without cursing? If you can't comment about the Ninjawords Dictionary without cursing then your opinion on Parental Controls is inherently flawed. The Parental Controls aren't there for you. They are there for me. I d

I'm confused. How can Twitter be "invading" Digg? Didn't Kevin Rose invest in Twitter? If my memory serves me correctly, he mentions his investment in this video. http://www.vimeo.com/3934635 He also started WeFollow, the Twitter direc

And he was a stockboy at the business when it was being built from $0 to $X million. How is that any different than Paul Graham taking support calls at ViaWeb or Joel Spolsky putting up blinds at Fog Creek? In a family business, everyone d

I'm gonna assume that you are not an immigrant that has worked in a family business. Because you don't inherit the family business. I worked in the plywood plant where my dad worked when I turned 16 and I worked in all of his side business

Blackberry, Nokia & Windows Mobile should probably be added to this poll since they do have more market share than the iPhone depending on the part of the world. Although I do have an iPhone myself.

"Bootstrap + very profitable". But that's depending on your definition of "very profitable". I make more money than I did as an employee at my last job. But it also happens to be a services company. The services company funds the product

The first thing I see is the 3.6% difference in equity taken. If I can bring in 3 great advisors and give them 1% equity each then I am ahead in terms of cash investment and advice.

Executive Summary: AT&T's service is poor in her area. The author was not able to get comfortable with the virtual keyboard. The title is link-baiting. But, the article is actually a fairly well-written short story. It is personable

There are a few ways to manage this. The first way is to have larger sidewalks. This puts traffic further away from the buildings and there is less echo reverberating up sides of buildings. The sidewalks are larger in Gastown and deeper i

Redundant in what sense? The point is to increase density in a sustainable way. Buildings malls is not sustainable because there is wasted space. All that indoor walking space could be outdoor parks. In urban areas, you try to reduce wast

I live in a condo tower in Vancouver, BC. I live above a supermarket, Starbucks, dry cleaner, hair stylist, and Domino's pizza. It actually works out quite well. Because of the supermarket, I only have to buy food for one meal at a time.

Listen to the Stack Overflow podcast. The developer estimated that it would take "a few weeks". A day and a half of Joel's time sees like a fair trade to do this experiment. Listen to the podcast. The conversation starts at about 16:00 m

Listen to the last Stack Overflow podcast. Every single month that they ship FogBugz earlier is an extra $200k in revenue share for the developers. The developer may know how to solve the problem in code. But, Joel is the CEO. He has a b

And that's why you are seeing developers find different buyers. There is no point in making games for people that are broke, cheap, or pirates. As a result, developers are moving away from making games for the traditional demographic.

When referring to Kanye West, I'm assuming you mean 808s and Heartbreaks. Auto-Tune was used as an instrument on that album. That's what the original article alludes too. The vocals are supposed to contrast with the super, lofi, YouTubey

Wow, bad advice. Or maybe just bad advice for managing programmers. Interruptions suck and this advice just seems like interruption-based management. My advice would be to make communication asynchronous. Use something like Yammer for sta
