It's meh. you can preview it in themes. Condensed version is much better. Lots of complaints in google help about spacing and contrast, to the point that they even have a survey up focusing on those issues. At least they're listening. http

A major in history and only one extra semester for a cs major? Do you already have calc 1,2,3 diffy q's, & linear alg? The math sequence is what stops most people I know from starting on it so late. I agree with part of brudgers and par

My recreational pastimes and intellectual interests are my work. Wouldn't have it any other way. (Or I'd find a different job doing those things.)

Thanks I'll definitely take a look at GainSpan. Yeah I don't necessarily want to build everything from the ground up if the components have already been built. Here's an example though. Lets take the fitbit as a very basic example. Mainly i

Sigh. I don't understand the "submitting too fast" error. But the advice to create a second username on a proxy worked :P

Also they aren't really blocking online classes. The title is just a little fluffy. They are simply stopping implementation of online classes that would change any teacher's employment for the next 3 years. They can still create online clas

I honestly think the real innovators, Like the listed Stanford classes below, will come from the inside. You can treat academia like any other industry and you need someone who knows the the system very well to innovate a better means. Plus

I can't help but feel that, while this is inspirational to all those slow starters, there are very obvious places where he could have catalyzed his business much much sooner and without the need to jump in full time or quit his job. Of cour

Wait a minute. He's 20?! Christ. What kind of plan did you / do you have? You say you like art, why not get in school full time? Fill out the fafsa, get financial aid, live on campus instead of driving to that little community college, and

This person is the poster-child for why you get a degree AND and internship / experience in some marketable field. People all over swear up and down you DON'T need a degree and they are right. But having a degree means that your personal sa

What is with your redirect to indy army needed? You should be monetizing those sites at the minimum with parked installations. check out www.dnforum.com for help. spankk.me is obvious. But I'd put it up on sedo and let someone else develop

First, Let me say that chancing out of my eecs degree after putting in all the pre-reqs and entry level classes was one of my biggest regrets. While years ago I was coined as a true autodidact by everyone I know, learning on my own is indee

I hate godaddy's interface. Hostgator's 10/mth plan and cpanel is plenty easy for me to put all my simple forums and blogs on. I set up my university design department with Dreamhost because it's easy for the layman and you can add multiple

The site reminds me of squidoo. I kind of wonder why I can't click on someone's username and see everything they've written. What if you feel like writing a lot on postary? Does it just stay disjointed?
