Good point. I've never actually worked with gtk+, but I have worked with windows forms development for desktop apps. I thought it was a really good approach for building a windows …

I completely agree with the learning curve. I often think it's just as hard, if not harder, to learn a new tool than it is to learn a new programming concept. You have to re-train …

I get what you're saying; that these characteristics are not mutually necessary. And I agree with you. As for the other question, I suppose you could separate those characteristics…

You're logic is correct, but it's not the great teacher part that is in question. The part that is always in question is about whether or not he is really God. Take that same analo…

I think a great feature for this would be a map to visualize the results in your area.

I disagree. The layout seems really tight, and hard to separate content from navigation and advertisements. In my opinion the ads and donate button make this site feel insincere an…

It seems that the fees have changed. In the article she says shopify keeps 20%. On their site it says: "You will receive 50% of the profits. You will receive 70% (an additional 20%…

What I have always found a little awkward is the use of 'a' or 'an' when written in a sentence. For example "..run a SQL query.." versus "..run an SQL query..". The spelling is the…

My Dad purchased his first computer when I was 10. I learned a tremendous amount from my experiences with it, and for that I've always considered myself fortunate. My parents didn'…
