at least for me, an idea dies quicker when i never tell anyone about it. if i show a working example to someone or even just talk about the idea, there's a sense of wanting to complete it just to show that person even if he or she never as

Remember the example I mentioned earlier with my then-girlfriend in the comic store? Her opinions were deemed mistaken and she was told she didn't "get it"… because she was a girl. i'm not sure how that had anything to do with being a gir

bypassing DNS is going to break the internet as much as SOPA is. content distribution networks rely on DNS for load balancing. legitimate sites moving to new servers rely on being able to push out records with low TTLs. by statically cac

i'm as big a hater of SOPA as the next guy, but this fearmongering is getting a bit silly. as if SOPA is going to pass and overnight all of those popular commercially-run websites are going to vanish with no notice or court hearings. and f

use geolocation to show a default city to the user. they should of course be able to change it, but it's better than just showing a big text box when you already know what major city an ip is near.
