I wouldn’t necessarily say this has anything to do with students or school. I’ve been out of school for a couple of years now and have been working as a developer for about 5 years…

There are a lot of discussions that need to be had concerning filtering, vote weighing, etc. We just have to have them earlier now.

It had to do with the weird way I switched out the post. It should be fixed now.

I never expected it to get this high. The post was a rant and, as most rants do, turned out to be a bad idea. I've temporarily replaced the rant with my more complete and restraine…

Atlanta's startup weekend company is apparently in the clear. Not sure what the difference is between the two. In Atlanta's, the actual startup was an C-corp owned in part by Start…

I went a bit more in-depth here: http://subwindow.com/articles/12 It turns out that Apple is a totally perfect example.

There are two main differences: 1) Apple was a hardware startup. Hardware startups need funding and someone to aggressively sell the product in person to big vendors. Software star…

Well, funding is a different matter. If a beef-headed M.B.A. actually has some funding, they might actually be worth listening to. However, 99% of the time they don't have funding,…

Pretty much any solid rant sounds like a Zed Shaw rant.

I was on the Index BBS in Atlanta, as well as gobs of smaller ones. I was a L.O.R.D. addict, so I'd run out my turns on one BBS and then hop to the next.

I used to pass by that area every day. The problem is not that the shelter is there, but that the bums are always hanging out outside the shelter. 24 hours a day, there are bums ha…

If you want to learn lessons, work at the big company. If you want to learn skills, work at the small company.

(In case someone is late to the party, most of the crazy downvoting and weird crap has since been edited out)

Good point. Personally, I'd love to have a robotic centaur helping me around the house.

What the hell is going on with comments on this topic?

Well, not necessarily. Those devices aren't biped specific- they're specific to thing with grasping mechanisms. Who's to say a quadruped robot can't have 4 feet + 1 or 2 grapsing m…

There are only two real advantages to bipeds: 1) Height 2) Use of spare limbs for tools Height doesn't seem to be much of an advantage for robots at this stage, and I think that ro…

Zynga?

Maybe it is time to expand the size of the editor base. "Articles" like this should be killed.

I've been using editdns: http://www.editdns.net/ Its free, and has worked very well for me over the past year.

For us, yes. We spend about as much per month on Salesforce as a developer's salary. Might as well devote 2 or 3 months of developer time and come up with something that actually f…

Salesforce.com at the moment. It is pretty awful and kind of expensive, so we're developing our own.

What if you did a word count of the linked article, and used that for the weight? It might be good to strip out links from the count, but other than that it seems a pretty sold way…

"Real-world app ideas" Elaborate?
