I don't like the stereoyype of the nerdy recluse programmer. Sure there are many of them, but just as many socially-comfortable programmers. The generalizations can be harmful and lead people away from the stigma, and away from the field.

This is not minimalist in my honest opinion. I can see people liking it though!

Time isnt necessarily the most important factor when considering a persons contribution. If i work faster thus produce more than a partner, or if they are stuck grinding out a problem that i may have breezed through they will be rewarded f

but you cant focus on the field to type. You have to use those clunky buttons on the bottom and then hit the mystery button. But that's not the biggest issue. Say the UI wasn't as faulty. What's the point? Why not just give a link to th

Also, I get rather preachy with my brothers about how I believe they should proceed with their lives... And they listen, but it's a bit hard to change how people see the world.

My fathers death was not expected, and, while tight, we were able to live fine before he died. Two incomes turned to one as us kids grew older, taller, more needy. I don't think it's an offensive question, and my situation influenced me t

I grew up in extreme poverty on a very dangerous street. My father died when I was a child, and with half an income, my mom was forced to work several jobs to support herself and 5 children. The only place we could afford to live was the

firefighters have many mundane tasks as well. Doctors are exosed to viuses that could be widespread if they fail to do their job properly. Id argue that they are exposed to dangers they can bring home to the kids, which in my opinion make

A few css tweaks and any theme can be made unique. I see no issue in saving time with themes, templates, or the like.

I am an advocate of looking at what makes pieces you find are designed well, and keeping a "scrapbook" (for lack of a better phrase) of those patterns. Then as you design you can refer to those scraps for things that worked in UI, design,

It really depends. I am not a fan of the tip because it is a bit misleading. The reason there aren't many true blacks in representational art is due to reflection of light into the shadows. Also, given the overall temperature of an image,

Give onlive a try... it really is on the level. AFAIK, they receive your input and process it server-side. What you get is in essence a live video stream. I am sure that it is more complicated in execution, but they make it work - and da

Not sure why this is being down-voted. The over 2 million Americans that are imprisoned do count as citizens, and the prison system is as corrupt as they come, from cases of judges being paid by private prisons(1) to give harsh sentences to

If you are hosting on a server(as everyone is) it will, at some point fail. You have to choose a service that has minimal failure combined with quick resolution times. I think AWS fits this description...

They refaced the exact mega-man sprites. The "borrowing" of the mega man sprite animations so blatant that, as the authors, I'd be worried.

Here is a good place to start! I am a front-end guy here with a foundation in design. I am a bit busy at the moment, thus unavailable, but there are many more like me that frequent the board. Good Luck!

How do you propose the said companies make sales without a sales team. (Not to be snarky, maybe I am missing something.)

Great idea. I think that adding an amount sold to the widget may add a bit of interest. it was the first thing I looked for when I went to the site, and provides a crowd-validation. Thanks!!

I know you are outsourcing the low-level coding, but if I were you, I'd look for slightly more senior guys. 10/hr comes with a lot of hiccups in my experience. But maybe you guys are willing to put a little more management time into the p

Could quite possibly be built on the same template. (edit: I think it is a copy. Fount this on both css site's css files -"College Park Home Page 2.0 - JD Collier, Fishhook jd@fishhook.us")

I look forward to doing what I do on my desktop and more on a tablet, but the typing aspect isn't quite there yet. Why fear something like full Photoshop on the go, or a real suite of programming tools at your disposal? If the typing issue
