    So ... if you despised your own intelligence, your intelligence would be your flaw?

    They are masters at presenting information properly in terms of visual layout. But the stuff always struck me as ... how to say, "fashionista" in that it makes a fetish out of obse…

    Try (if my understanding of what you're trying to do is correct): "I'd like to link a database full of terms with well-defined meanings to a graphics rendering engine so when I typ…

    Let me see if I get this: you want a database filled with words, and the words linked to a graphics rendering engine, so that if someone wrote, "The mighty oak between the streams …

    Why is my thread dead? I looked over the guidelines ... what rule did this break? Edit: What da? Everything I post is auto-dead? I looked at the guidelines I can't find something I…

    I find it funny how in a programmer's mind it's "my idea" and why should they work on "my idea" ... but if it takes off and there's any money to be made, all of a sudden all the re…

    This was an interesting post; thanks. The tricky part for me is it's apparently not obvious in a perception way, (at least not for others, to me it seems so obvious I can't believe…

    Well, in general you're right. I just found the above poster's post (to which I responded in length) unbelievably obnoxious and pretentious. When it's the coding part, it's, "Why s…

    Well, they could be motivated and interested, but I doubt they have the experience, otherwise they would have, with their resources, started a long time ago. About the do it better…

    That might work. If it doesn't, I'll threaten to publish everything online for free, thus negating their own efforts and rendering their money spent into a black-hole of no return.…

    Well, these are good points. I guess I could do the evangelist part or let someone else do it, but really I think it could speak for itself. As for the article in your link, I coul…
