These weren't nearly as high resolution as I expected. I'm surprised they're even useful. I guess that's encouraging in one aspect.

I'd like sources. This article, while believable and fascinating, provided no evidence of its claims. (Which is about what it aimed to accomplish.)

That's quite clever. I'm impressed at how you can composite fairly objective views from special interest groups. As mentioned by others, you seem to have a (lack of) data issue. Perhaps you could also work with public voting records ( http:

"As a medium, 3D remains remarkably self-trivializing. Virtually nobody who works with it can resist thrusting stuff at the camera, just to make clear to viewers that they’re experiencing the miracle of the third dimension." Reminds me of a

An extended version of the same paper: http://www.econ.ucsb.edu/~babcock/College_time_use_NBER.pdf While it doesn't have all the information you'd like to see, it does contain a much greater amount of detail and raw statistical informatio

SQL is a declarative language, not a functional one. Writing SQL is telling the DB what you want, not how to do it.

Yes. I want noprocrast on while I'm in lab or doing homework, but I want to be able to override when I'm done.

Start working if you're satisfied with the salary alone, but assume you have 0% equity until you've something on paper. If you really want equity, then it needs to be negotiated now. "It's all bullshit until it fits on a paycheck."

I love it. The app is designed like a perfect iphone app, but when rendered on the iphone, the huge orange text caused it to render everything small. Other than that, it's perfect; easy to use, immediate information that I want!

A lot of companies have to deal with this. vBulletin and Red Hat both immediately come to mind. I don't see how it would set you back. You know all the people you give the source code to, so you know who to go to about leaks. And most c

What I would like to see is more of the Socrates style teaching. I think that's a lot like the kind of pleasant, interesting learning that you're talking about. I guess my question is this: if you say you're only going to teach voluntary,

I'd say there are really only two reasons that have stopped widespread adoption of PNG: 1. The file sizes can be rather large (less of a problem these days) 2. IE6 improperly displays PNG alpha (This is big one). Even the "IE7" javascript h

I'd say there's nothing wrong with this. I work for a small company that solicits specifically to one specific kind of organization. Our entire business model is based on targeting and sales, not open registration or enterprise solutions.

This is cool timing. I go to NCSU, and just last night we had a paneled discussion with Charlie Rose about sustainability in the future; one of the men on the board was Thom Mayne, a noted architect who's doing work on sustainable building
