It depends completely on whether you are looking for "valid" in a structural sense or a semantic sense. If a structural sense, lutusp's second approach looks very do-able. There are a lot of cases to consider and it would m

One bit of advice is not to try and change things too quickly. Quietly observe at first. All of their processes were put into place for a reason. Sometimes the reason has past and that is a process that can be replaced. But it will take

First is to figure out what your goals are long term. Then figure out how to work towards those goals. If a 401k fits those goals then start a 401k. Most of the time, though not always, you need to be full time before you can contribute

Out of curiosity, what voting algorithm are you using at the moment? You'll have to tweak it if the site takes off. Especially since people get very particular about politics, even more so than money, and will try to game it in whate

My phone does this for me as well, including when I am using a pull out keyboard which lessens but not eliminates the chance of a dirty touchpad.

Its not so much different than living in a city then and denying children the ability to learn to be farmers. it is easier to learn a computer for the first time as an adult than learn how to run a farm. Amish take varying attitudes towar

There was a chapter in "What Technology Wants" about the Amish and I believe was written similarly.

I especially liked this phrase: "You shouldn't be the first in your neighborhood to adopt the new technology and neither should you be the last." We have some Amish near where I live. Some drive the traditional horse and bu

Depends of the definition of "technical" as well. If taken to mean anything that humans create, including replicating natural processes, then as other posters have said fire is the obvious choice. Now if you restrict technical t

If it was based on existing US law then nobody in the US lost out on anything by failure to ratify. The treaty presumably would apply in other other countries that ratify it. Also, the danger is less what it would do now versus how the tr

A lot of this seems like mis-communication between a lawyer and a client. It sounds like people have talked to a lawyer. The lawyer says, "you need an NDA to talk with people about your business." The lawyer means for real negot

Whichever technology you choose, though, you will be able to find competent people who are comfortable with it.

I don't think having an amazon version is a bad idea. Just glancing at the description, which you should add a significant amount of detail to by the way, it sounds like a beginners cookbook for wordpress plugins. That is probably wo

With those scores I doubt you will have much trouble in school. And if you are in-state for UT-Austin I doubt it is too expensive. You may just want to do android and web dev now, but nobody knows what will be important 10 years from now.

An alternative to the "casual" gaming field is the "serious" gaming field, specifically simulations and training. The pay is usually comparable to what you would get elsewhere. You didn't say how much experience y

Some types of public speaking are easier for introverts than others. Giving a preplanned talk in front of a couple of thousand people? Pretend they aren't there and that you're speaking to the air. Look at the audience as you w

I've been here a year and a half or so. I think it is a pretty recent trend that I've only noticed in the past 6 months or so, but I could be wrong. My hypothesis is that an isolated post or two really resonated with people and r

I probably disagree on the Tex one. I know several people with PhDs in engineering and science disciplines who have never used Tex. Several of them know enough math to at least make a reasonable stab at a few of the problems, even if they
