    One of my favourite speedruns, Portal Done Pro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1U5RUVENNE Gets interesting at 3 mins. There's also an explanatory series.

    Agreed, they're simple to use, even the 2 lane varieties. I think the problem is as mentioned, often American ones are much different. It seems more like a free for all circle with…

    Maybe Valve have finished HL3, and are releasing a bunch of things to try out (F2P economy, marketplaces, trading cards, community upgrades, steambox), then if any have heavy backl…

    This might be useful for contracts, as well. Editing points and having history, being able to comment on specific parts etc. Not 100% sure on how to solve the "legally binding" par…

    How much savings did you have? I'm considering doing the same at some point, though my quick glance at index funds makes it seem like I'd get basically nothing. What sort of budget…

    My least favourite are product titles that are completely unrelated to the use (which is fine), but when titles are modified, it becomes completely pointless: "Goose - A JS library…

    Can I emphasize the use of code samples right on the homepage? As an example, Requests ( http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/ ). If you've ever done URL fetching in Python yo…

    Try out fabric, start really, really, really small. I'll assume you use Git (if not, replace with your workflow). A super simple fabric script might simply be a `git push`. Instead…

    I had that idea a while back (haven't done anything with it). I was thinking more along the lines of separate PIN numbers for ATMs/at checkout. You would set up different PIN numbe…
