This functionality already exists! It was one of my first times futzing with javascript so it's slow and clunky and could be done a lot better. http://www.imageboard.net/921/slides…

I took a nutrition class through an accredited correspondence school for a science credit. If you look around you should be able to find a school near you teaching the classes. Mos…

{ } have always been chicken lips to me. Everyone I've said that too has understood and although I may have gotten some strange looks, I've never been corrected.

Non smelly? Have you ever been in a croc store? I went in with a few girls and I had to leave. The overwhelming stench of plastic fumes was making me gag. I felt physically ill jus…

You need to play more MMORPG's. It's amazing how much people care about integers in databases going up.

I love Red Arrow. I just wish it hit Lethbridge as well.

For me it's not about finding the information by typing in a URL. It's more about scanning and having a clue what I'm going to see by the url I'm clicking on. A giant random number…

I'm much the same way. For me it was the classes I didn't like that I did poorly in, like marketing. The less interesting it is going in the worse I do.

A hash is a one way thing so you can't reverse it. However, if they have that much access it'd be trivial to just change your script to dump the username/password combo into a plai…

I spent a summer working in a kitchen without AC. The trick I learned to survive it is to get two dish towels and soak them in water. Wring them mostly out and put them in the free…

No real idea of where to take it from here. We have a few ideas that break from the theme of no text, such as tagging and a reddit style interface, and improved ways for the commun…

http://www.imageboard.net/top/ A forum designed without the use of text using just images to communicate with a built in editor and voting tools. Roommate and I made it as a toy fo…

Basically he's saying that 'quantum mechanics' is the scientific substitute for 'magic'. Most people know jack about it, just that it's really hard and explains weird things.

My guess would be through some sort of computer club / group. I got to meet Ken Thompson because he was visiting the university I worked at and the unix users group on campus convi…

This works great in a classroom because a prof is more interactive than a book. You can't shout 'Bullshit!' at a book and have it do anything other than inanimately mock you with i…

To be perfectly honest... this is one of the two selfish reasons I want money. To touch the sky is even a goal that seems reasonable in this day and age and I know that if I work h…

I've dropped 60lbs over the last year and over half of that was within the first two months. All I did was be mindful of my weight and convince myself that losing it was important.…

Ditto with pyweek and also LD48.

I fully agree on this point. Also, I really don't like our culture. I think the two are strongly correlated. I really don't want to be told what to think, what to buy, who to like,…

You weren't around last time applications opened for YC, were you? ;) The entire site seems to sort of shut down. Submissions drop off, commenting becomes practically non existent.…

I wonder how well it'd go over to attend a 4 month long entrepreneurship seminar in Boston. I also wonder how they define 'working in the US'. If my start up is incorporated in Can…

Way to go :D

Speaking as someone who cooks a lot for himself and is very interested in nutrition and proper diet, I have no idea why you're even asking this. Nutrition wise, vegans who play it …

Birthday party at a pub until 4am. Much drinking and delight.

I'm exactly the same way but I've found that sighs j-pop fits in this as well. If I can't understand the words then it doesn't break my flow. German techno also seems to work.
