Excellent app. I can see why you won. One minor thing I saw: when I searched for "C#" it returned "c programming"

"But, who benefits in this case?" uh.... everyone. Trying to sue someone so you can force your employees to stay is lose/lose.

Ditto on the PSD advice. There are plenty of PSD to HTML chop shops that will do a much better job slicing and creating standards compliant markup for your site. It ends up costing a little more in the long run, but you also get a better q

My thoughts exactly. I actually like the fact that users can edit questions and answers. This, plus the voting mechanism ensures the best information is present in most cases.

great idea. great execution. poor design. You did the hard stuff, now make it look good and you'll have the complete package. Nice work.

That's awesome, I like the solutions where the Rubik's cube isn't modified. I've seen several solutions where a hole has to be drilled in the cube, etc... Also, being able to turn the cube on all 4 sides is a major plus.

I can't believe people have to actually be told this stuff. I don't know why you'd want to show up and not look/act like a model up-standing citizen.

I like it. Nice layout and I like the fact that you can search/browse conferences without having to log in. Nice job.

I agree. Also, I'm hesitant to log in from work since we block twitter here and I don't want to hit the web filter.

Yeah, I thought that too... It might be a past/present kind of thing. Like, at the time the author was in China, he was making $5000/month and now that the article is published it's $5000/day. Although, $5000/day seems a bit high, so I'm t

School is what did it for me, my program was pretty rigorous and I didn't want to mortgage my future by letting my grades suffer. Plus, I was working full time anyway. I just waited until 2 months before I graduated, started my LLC and hav

I have the same issue. I just started my company part-time on the side and it has worked out so far. Things move a bit slower but you don't have to worry about funding or coming up with enough every month to pay for the house.
