The blank gif shows in chrome as a missing image (really ugly) http://iamstarting.com/Blank.gif . Looks very unprofessional overall - invest in a designer first and relaunch.

Nice story, I hope you said 'sorry love that's mine' and poked your fingers in her food to take it out:)

Sorry, I missed the front page! Yes I mean more technical details, people purchasing complex technology like lots of information. PDF will work better. (you can have both HTML + PDF) I thought you targeting small businesses use real example

On most manufactured goods the labor component is not as high as people think. Assume an industry where the labor portion is 30%. By a combination of a lower dollar value as well as better efficiencies and better automation it is not unlike

The Gulf currencies are literally pegged to the Dollar. It's a fixed rate for the last 5 years that I had dealings with them (Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait etc). But I agree nothing stops oil prices sky-rocketing. I must say it's nice to be

It wouldn't change the real value we have to pay externally for oil and so on. Most of the oil producing countries have currencies pegged to the dollar and politically they are bound to stay with it. If you have a low dollar Chinese goods

It sounds like a good product, but I do not believe you have addressed the marketing aspects of it adequately: 1) Too geeky language - rather tell a story Company XYZ solved a problem by... 2) Design needs work 3) Call for action on landin

It is a very bad way to try and stop someone from copying. A better way used by quite a few media is to use javascript and copy a backlink at the same time (very good for blogging and the media at least gets some link juice). You are right

This is very similar to the philosophical implications that all mathematics are out there and we are just discovering them. In this light one can always use the example of the infinite monkeys typing random characters and producing all the

50 years is definitely excessive. One can argue that for very successful authors/artists it can provide income for heirs. In most cases it only benefits publishers. 30 years sounds like a reasonable period for me.

yeah... for how long? Power and energy are frequently confused. Power is the rate at which energy is generated and consumed. To answer your question the battery rating should preferably be given in Amp-hours or kWh. I suspect the author

Without wishing to get into a flame-war with anyone driving a flashy car, but my two year old desktop running both Linux and Windows has more Lines of Code than that, therefore mine is bigger than yours. LOC should never be used as a metric

Thanks! Down the line you will need to re-skin the application to give it a bit more of a distinct look.

I did manage to see it before it disappeared first time around. It mostly worked nicely for me but crashed somewhere in datamanagement.nocache.js As a proof of concept demo is ok. However, it would be better to have a demo with the full int

Thanks both links they are very useful. I am interested to create a virtual reconstruction of a pre-historic society and the idea came to me that if I write it using the right tools I might be able later on to create a game out of it or may

I had exactly the same idea with you - before I read the article. However, I changed my mind after reading it and pondering over some of his writings. For example fucking brilliant will not offend but fucking idiot will and then that do

You partly right. I was sure that the mighty filter would have chewed it up and that I would have done the author and the community a disservice submitting it with a different title. I believe in not changing article titles.

The third one should be called chaining rather than cascade and the fourth one 'curry' should be dropped (it is not really all that useful) the solo example mentioned is probably the only one in a public library.
