Rather than demand this network, we should all demand the fixing of the dozen news networks here in the US.

After how long? This was one of the first alternative TLDs to be suggested. I am curious to see how they price the domains.

I can't convey what a difference this would have made for me in my schooling career. I was constantly bored by teachers who were slowed by others in the class, and as a result I resorted to clowning or doodling, or programming my TI-86.

I respect the hell out of you for it. What you're doing is going to be tough, and you know it. I haven't taken that leap yet, I keep collecting app and site ideas, but my normal day job hasn't reached a point where I need to take that leap.

I won't be trying out your service until you have the TOS and Privacy Policy up and visible. As well as a video or walk through explaining what exactly this app does. I can't stress the importance of this enough. I am sure I would love your

It's not an impossible dream, but if Vegas allowed me to, I'd put a large bet against you. Not because I don't think it won't happen. But your timeline is far too short to grow the audiences you'll need on whatever app(s) you create.

This was a business idea I tossed around about 2 years ago, I seriously considered making the leap and going for it because it is a necessary niche of the modern day. But the more I planned and worked on it, the more I realized it wasn't so

That's good for a intellectual challenge, but for game shows to work, they need to be questions that players at home, viewers who earn them their advertising dollars, know. They want us to be sitting on the couch shouting out the answers. I

Agreed. I don't want them to offset Watson's raw potential, but why not just acknowledge the processing power put him ahead of the buzzer.

I also feel that they sort of jogged around the buzzing in question. Obviously Watson has to calculate and decide his answer, but there is no denying that he was very fast on the buzzer in the game.

Some interesting nuggets in here, I had watched the Nova specials on Watson etc. I would have liked to have had a question about the team, their work stress etc., but otherwise a fun read. I especially enjoyed the step by step parsing and e

I love WorkFlowy. I admit I use it in waves, some days I don't open it, some days I don't leave it. I do a great deal of planning and outlining in it, but found I struggle when it comes to maintaining todo lists etc in there. However the de

The code name is only ever used in these posts as far as I know, it's the version number which is most used for referencing the install type. It's not that big of a deal.

The game is also on PC. I went to SOE Denver to demo a different game, and also got a peek at this one while we were there.

It's fascinating to see the balance the game's origin finds between inspiration, perspiration and calculation. It seems, to many I'm sure, that the game was a happy fluke that some company stumbled upon like the Beverly Hillbillies. Rovio m

In my mind, you're making the case for debate. Argument has an emotional connotation, where as debate is more educational in connotation.

I came to say this very thing. I have no idea what taskforce does and there is no way I am giving them access to my email until I understand exactly what is going on. Less for fear of security than for fear of them mucking up the system I h

I honestly never thought that much about the use of semicolons vs not. I'm not a hardcore JS programmer, I know enough to get paid for it, and I'm the best JS programmer of my current employer. But I'm far from a jedi master. Isn't this jus

I had no issue with you running it, I think the negative response were people reacting out of fear of letting "novelty" accounts get going with this as the beachhead where they had to make their stand.

I love the idea of mapping caps lock to ctrl + t to make it a new tab button my normal boring laptop. I'm currently looking for an app which will allow that, or a Chrome extension which allows this - anyone have an idea?

A great read about politeness (though it had some negotiating impacts) causing a missed opportunity. I too err on the side of politeness when it comes to business interactions and I've learned that more often than not, when I'm dealing with

The problem of domain ownership was what jumped to my mind. How would the system protect from domain hijacking etc? The only system I can see has to do with polling multiple hosts, taking the most popular response for a domain and routing t

Hmmm, I haven't run into any lag issues yet. It may because I try to be fancy and do transition effects when I may just need to switch out the text. Thanks for the bug report.
