If a weather reporter dies, does the weather stop? Who writes these stupid headlines? There is no logical person who would answer that question with a "yes." So really, the title should be: "If the New York Times dies, will we be left with

I have the same problem. The score is nice to see the first time, because its helpful to read the good comments first. But if you've been following threads, its hard to see where people have added to the conversation, especially if the conv

Why code as opposed to novels? And what are you looking for? Some suggestions on how to get into coding, or ways to improve your coding?

I use GoDaddy. And that's only because I couldn't think of anyone better. It seems like the domain registration space is filled with shady characters. GoDaddy's interface is clunky and confusing and every time I go there I wish someone woul

I second two things, the blog, and the previous projects. People want to see that you get things done. So if you can whip up an amazing project, then they'll know you can get their stuff done as well.The blog/website is the place to showcas

Yeah, law firms in the U.S. are generally never venture backed, although lawyers in Silicon Valley involved with start-ups get paid a lot in stock options or get given stock in companies they do work for. Most of the time its like Petercoop

Just curious, what do you guys think it would cost me to have someone set this up?

Much better. See, before I had no idea if it applied to me. Now, a business owner would at least know if he should keep reading. If he doesn't have any tv screens or monitors around the store, then he'll stop reading, if he does, then he mi

It might work on a large scale in conjunction with shopping malls. Or better yet, in conjunction with many specialty retailers. Typically, in the U.S. people use wedding registries from stores. They go to a store and are given a scanner and

What does "without doubling up" mean? Is this like a wedding registry where you can all chip in?

Note to others: if you're asking people to check out your site, please make the title a link or at the very least post a link so we don't have to do it ourselves. Link: http://gifty.co.nz/

What's an out of home media network? I'm a pretty geeky guy, and I don't understand that term. A small business will understand it even less.

Some critiques: Either explain how s3mer is pronounced, or change your name. If people don't know how to pronounce a word when they read it, its very, very easy to forget. Many people's brains work out words by sounding out the different sy

Picture this in your mind (or look at this sort of bad example: http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/17/taito-introduces-surface-... ) You move the monitor down, and make it very large. Build it into the desk at a slight angle. Your arms rest o

But has it ever succeeded when tried by non-humans? Its kind of like the monkeys at a keyboard theory. Yes, they can write a sentence every once in a while given enough time, but in actuallity, they're useless at writing. Original ideas are

Not bad. You can even allow integration with Yelp so people can get independent reviews.

You're not wrong, its just not available to the masses. A regular consumer will see the word "API" and the code snippet and move on. Tons of people want to sell stuff and have huge talent in their areas, but are clueless when it comes to co

Exactly. I've formulated a theory of micropayment success. It requires: 1. A credit card or payment method already in the system, OR, a trustworthy vendor; 2. One click ordering or an Ajax style cart where you don't have to load a new webpa

We need an entire gesture language! We have language we use to speak to each other, user interfaces, and conventions, and soon we'll need a gesture language. Can you imagine if every touch app had a different way to turn up the volume? But

However, the way you suggested is automatically unfair. You're assuming that a richer person will want to pay more (and they will) but that they won't feel unfairness when poorer people get a better deal. Unfortunately, even if I was rich,

Yeah, second that. This is a real estate question that people who run office buildings and apartment buildings need to do all the time. You can have empty space if the other spaces make up for it. Or you can lower it month by month until yo
