I think I am going to setup a VM with this. I really want to try the real thing. If it runs well enough in the VM I might just do all my development in and use the host OSX for eve…

I really want to try out vim and tiling wm setup. Is this a good place to get my feet wet? I was going to just set up VM of ArchLinux.

I definitely don't think they deserve the valuations they are receiving. I just think that they are much more worthy of being a public company than either Facebook or LinkedIn are.…

I think Groupon actually deserves high valuations. They actually have a clear and simple way to turn a profit. They also have a tremendous amount of business relationships that are…

I think the difference, for me at least, is that I have to pay for Salesforce's products. I trust a company with my data much more if I am paying them than I do a company that is n…

I don't think any Social App will be able to replace email unless it is just as distributed and private as email is. Maybe if the Social App ran entirely on the users machine or th…

The number one reason I love Pandora is that it offers an ad free paid version with higher quality. Its dead simple and does exactly what you want it to without tacked on social ne…

It depends on your school and what you are learning. My advice is to take classes that you want to learn and don't worry so much about finding a job with your degree. College shoul…

I have been doing this at my various internships and side projects. I am pretty good at fitting things together from examples, tutorials, etc. I think I am lacking in not understan…

You sound like me so much. I over think everything. I have actually considered becoming a Buddhist to try and shut my mind off for a little while through meditation. I tend to have…

I definitely have a hard time with this! I need to get over thinking everything I do has to be original. I think it definitely holds me back. I am also sick of the class grind at s…

Thanks for the advice. I have been thinking about making my own blog from scratch for a while now. I am going to get on that asap.

I am senior working to finish up my undergraduate degree in Information Sciences and Technology. As you might have guessed, IST is no CS degree. I came to school not knowing what I…

I agree completely. New inputs beyond QWERTY need to be developed. The tricky part I think is getting people to use new methods. I think things like 8Pen are a good start, however.…

I was actually discussing how outdated and old the 911 system is in America. It has been around in the same fashion for decades. I think there could be a lot of room for innovation…

Most of the urban growth cited by the article is in developing countries. This is because they are beginning to industrialize and make things. America is not making as much any mor…

Even if you live in the boondocks today it is still only a 30 minute trip Wal-Mart. There just isn't any traffic.

Thanks a lot I will have to try this. I have started using todo lists and they have seemed to help. I do worry I might be slightly depressed. However, I think this problem is somet…

Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind work much better in a distributed system in which individual homes and business are responsible for their own energy production. Bes…
