This is what's wrong with our patent system. Imagine if all those great minds who came up with theorems you had to learn in 4-6 years of college decided to patent them. Math should not be patentable. It's a crime.

Have you started a company without VC funding yourself? I do not mean to sound rude, but for a blog with such title, you need to have some personal creds on a more informative "About Author" page. So far the issues you've blogged about are

Guys, many of you missed my point. The post was not about C. It wasn't about the language, it was about people. I wanted to point out that C programmers, as a group, are getting things done. I suspect there aren't that many of them, there

As a veteran Windows user this is what I will do. Old habits die hard. I want to see some evidence of clean upgrade process first. :-) Seriously, as an engineer I doubt it will be easy: the success of this update procedure depends on reliab

1. Technical/Usability feedback Call me stupid, but why over-engineer something that (usually) is done as a simple one-page form? Slow, multi-page wizard, although a good looking one, is an overkill for a financial calculator IMO. I am on

Just a personal $0.2: this device does not appeal to me for two reasons (1) it isn't a phone and (2) it is quite lousy computer due to a limited storage. If it had more built-in storage I would love to use it as a portable travel PC so I

This is what I'm running: whatever they (ATI) are saying I should on the website. And it works great, except Beryl/Compiz won't work, people said I should install XGL server first... Which seems a bit too heavy to me. And since I have very

I have Thinkpad T60p with Mobility FireGL v5250. ATI does not even have V5250 listed in their Linux drivers section, but for V5200 they want me to use version 8.35.5 of their driver.

Nice thread! Apparently I am not too old for this forum :-) My first was a no-name Japanese box with NEC clone of Intel 80186 processor, shortly followed by a luxurious real 286 machine with 40MB hard drive! My first IDE was debug prompt

Pretty neat. I was expecting the video to be synchronized with slides somehow, i.e. I roll through the slides on the left, pick one and the video jumps to it. Have you done a decent competitive analysis? I am not familiar with this space, b

Isn't that a violation of GPL? If you include GPL-licensed code into your product (and they claim that Ruby is built-in) you are supposed to have your entire source code available. Ruby interpreter is GPL, how come they can bundle it with p

Good concept and I would suggest the following: (1) Instead of all those messy listings you should have a GIANT search box right in the middle a-la google. (2) Drop the categories. Work on your search algorithms instead. (3) Make it much ea

vim is awesome. I discovered it after 8 years of Delphi, Eclipse and Visual Studio. After two months of a steep learning curve I could honestly say that indeed, vim alone can be as productive as any IDE.

So... they are offering to accelerate your startup by means of giving you discounts on their software. In that case, Linux-based startups must be traveling at the speed of light...
