Re-reading the comment I see that I made a mess out of my thoughts. If you're a business man that knows music hell more power to you right? I meant the cases where you have people doing amazing things programming, or composing music, or wha

how much does the world pay people to play video games? Actually if you're good enough, plenty of money. It's not a matter of how many people do it, it's a matter of how much better you are than the many people that do it are. Amateur pro

Why aren't you mad at Facebook for not allowing the export feature which is causing this trouble? You could easily say the same thing in reverse: The people that use Facebook's services are being punished by Facebook because they don't want

That's just not correct. What language you learn on does have an influence on what languages come easier to you as a second or third language. Also some languages make programming concepts and paradigms easier to learn than others. Any way,

I never said otherwise. I meant both are 'easy' languages, and though I'd fathom beginners being more comfortable with Ruby (because it has a more forgiving syntax IMO) I still think they're not languages you should begin programming with.

I don't think Python is a good idea for a high-school class (where a big bunch of the people don't really care about programming anyways). Hell anyone that already knows a bit of programming will be completely thrown off his chair by the wh

The problem with outsourcing is always the fact that you get this idea of people with at least decent knowledge of X language and more times than not it blows up in everyones face when it just isn't the case. I don't care if he doesn't unde

It's not just protecting the idea, it's about creating a user base and rapport to go with it. I can go out and create a worse version right now, but market it immediately and create a community around it, and then boom I have a thriving bus

Looks and works great. It would be an improvement to ajaxify the process so it doesn't refresh every time I choose a product. Also, start marketing this like, pronto! Open a blog linked to it where you benchmark and review hardware and buil

Why does this keep coming back? There are tax incentives to do with the sale. Ballmer isn't the only one doing this. This is not news anymore.

The man says that he's in a committed relationship, but that he's scared of the fact that he might miss the "single" experience. If you tell him that he is missing "a LOT" you're giving him encouragement for him to leave that relationship t

Trust me you're not missing anything at all. If I actually had any regrets is doing the single thing too much and going overboard too many times.

If you're a software developer I'd argue that it's better to sharpen your skills by having your own vps with your own stuff. Amazon has a free tier promotion thing as you probably already know, so that's a good bet. Also, Prgrmr [ http://pr

No I haven't, it's been done and tested a gazillion times and been explained by people more adept to science than you and me. I don't need to dip my foot in the water to figure out I'm going to get wet.

My experience is once again completely different. I kind of prefer the extra speed the hardware keyboard provides and my Blackberry does have auto-correct. Emails are pushed to my phone before both the browser or my email client notify me.

I have 3 things to tell you. 1) Consider taking another path on your college education. Web Dev curricula is awful almost everywhere, and borderline regular in the few places where it's not bad. Study business, engineering, design, computer

Do you work for the government? I have to use a Blackberry because of business, but it's a pretty decent smartphone. I'd prefer it to an Android phone, though if I could I'd just get an iPhone. C'est la vie.

French fries are made by expelling moisture, and are then saturated in oil at which point a crust forms on it. I don't think this warrants and experiment as the results are pretty obvious :)

Call me skeptic but none of the experiments or the so called "significant laboratory evidence of psi" are conclusive at all. Premonition deals mostly with feeling something before it happens and precognition deals with seeing things before

I find Kik could easily be the Blackberry killer app we've all been hoping for. The only real reason most Blackberry users don't switch to iOS or Android is Blackberry messenger. I hope they can get their security up to par.
