Advertise what you're working on and maybe it'll catch someone's interest. Are you looking for someone to work remotely with, or someone to be in the same physical location? Virtual cofounders you can find on here, those you want to be in p

Unrelated to the article, but if anyone likes snowboarding, skating, or just being in the water, I highly recommend taking a surfing lesson. Figuring out the mechanics and actually catching a wave are exhilarating! I'm tempted to somehow re

OO i love these threads. I am currently reading "The Power Broker" by Robert Caro and its awesome so far (~150 pgs in). Just finished Zinn's "A people's history". Next up is "Atlas Shrugged" or "The Power of Babel" by John McWhorter.

The best you can probably do now is eat well and rest. I hurt my tendons quite a bit and I know for bones and connective tissue, you can't do much better than rest. edit: and I hope you feel better. I'm sure we can expect more activity from

That's cute and all, but your mood is influenced by chemicals (influenced by, or is is beyond the scope of this conversation) and an imbalance in those chemicals will lead to a disorder that you can fix by improving that balance. I'm also

Firstly, awesome for Mark. That man is an inspiration. Secondly, I'm confused about something. If you check the Atomplan's Company page, two people are listed under Management: Mark and Christian Owens. If you check Christian Owens' persona

If this functionality is desired enough for enough people to use this, why not publish a list of users, updated say, hourly so these scripts can cache the reputations? But then again, don't really see the point in using this. Also, if reput
