   I've often hated writing implementations of searching and sorting algorithms with someone looking over my shoulder. I think it tests specific knowledge of an algorithm more-so than anything else.

   I personally don't care about apple very much as a company and own a few of their products. My reasoning for it was simple: 1) I can't use Windows. I need to be able to open an actual terminal, so Windows has never really worked for me.

   I'd really like the KanBan interface to be added. =) Also, perhaps displaying the due date and changing colors if it's past due / about to be due might be a good idea. For instance, the day before change yellow and the day after change re

   Interesting project. A few of the immediate problems I see: 1) It looks far more like people just posting an introduction about themselves. Let's say that a month from now you have 200 posts on it, and I'm looking to see if anyone wants

   That would assume people are aware of their predispositions on a general basis. Some of those are simple, "stop being X to Y people because you think they are Z" is much easier to notice a pattern of than the sub-conscious effects of "for s

    Loyola is an EEO employer that seeks applications from women and members of minority groups. Yeah... because "women and members of minority groups" is clearly an "equal opportunity".

    This article seems a bit misleading to me. First, it starts on the premise that working from home or Starbucks is what a lot of bootstrap companies do and think it's good and keeping costs down. Then it leads into why building a company

    Mainly because of the amount of time I would have had to devote to it, and the amount of things I would have had to learn. It was an idea of "That would be cool to have." It wasn't a project I would be passionate about. I go to amusement

    I typically run my ideas through a few friends on IRC first. They'll play devil's advocate on my ideas. If I still like it I'll draw up a little spec or general overview, and then I'll share it with some co-workers and best friends. Depe

    If you're going for just a meme site it's fairly awesome. Simple, pretty, gets the point across. If you're trying to actively promote a stand against those machines, more information would be a great addition. An about page that goes over

    Whenever I see things along this line, I think back to something a mentor and close friend of mine has said, repeatedly: You should never do this. Unless you have a really good reason. Do not think for one second someone from Google

    With the recent decriminalization of pot in California, it makes no sense to me that people would vote against this. Half of my friends have "green cards" (medical marijuana cards) that can be bought for around $150 from random doctors afte

    The high-school I went to served pizza and french fries regularly. The food was extremely unhealthy and to my knowledge that hasn't changed much. It's far easier to deep fry a few hundred pounds of tater tots than to make a few thousand s

    The students who bought the food at the lunch sales most likely did not care what their money was going to. This was not like paying taxes, it was getting restaurant food at a markup at your high school. I'm sure that those who actually t

    So we need someone with capitol, someone with attorney and tax skills, and someone with web-design skills and someone with backend and systems arch skills to build Scott's idea. Oh, and servers. Let's start refining the details and come t

    This would be nicer if they rounded benefiting the customer at all times. Although I don't exactly see how a few pennies can slow down transactions in any significant way. You can get up to one more penny than you would get in quarters. P

    This is pretty neat. Something we did at $company[-2] is we had a block of IPs that weren't used for customer traffic. If something hit them (SSH login attempts, HTTP GET requests that were looking for RFI vulnerabilities, etc, etc) the IP

    emacs has a text editor too? I always just used it as an irc client... ( http://delysid.org/emacs/erc.html ) http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsCrashCourse is fairly good for a quick introduction to similar ways of doing things in emacs

    Pet peeve: Vim should be spelled "Vim," not "VIM."(1) Consistency in case would also make it easier to read in my opinion, Vim/VIM seem to be used interchangeably throughout the article.(2) Other than that, this is a good crash course. =

    Uh huh... so it can infect Linux after you click the applet to "trust" it. This like saying giving someone a shell script to rm -fr / and having them run it is infecting the system.
