    You nailed it. I always wondered how come somebody like Dell never wised up to the trackpoint and middle button. I'm wondering whether they have some sort of exclusive patent on de…

    I agree, I've been thinking about it more and more about two hands. How would I go about following through though? I'm new to SF and having a hard time finding a really bright tehc…

    I was working 3 jobs and seeking a startup to join (didn't have a green card back then, so start my own wasn't an option). I was in grad school and had a 4.0 GPA and needed to keep…

    Yakto, sounds like only 1 and 4 set you apart from other incubators for hackers. And I feel 1 could be addressed by using an alias until you're ready to jump ship. So, not enough d…

    That sounds like a useful distinction. What is the defining attribute of the introvert to you? and what is an example of flexible when introverted in that context?

    Is Small Fear of Uncertainty the defining Attribute of an Extrovert?

    I prefer cerebral introverts for any activity that involves brain cells. So take my words in the context of an ally who likes accurate descriptions of reality. Most of you are intr…
