Thanks for this. Do you know why the courses aren't all hosted on Standford.edu, though?

Correct, the real headline was "58,000 Want Course." Kind of sensationalist of mhb to change it like that, unless NYT secretly updated the article, which I've heard they're fond of…

Okay, but why should I use your service? What are you doing for $50 that I can't do myself? I don't mean to be an ass, but these are questions I think everyone is asking. An 'About…

Why is this on the front page? There are so many problems... What's going on here? What are you trying to get me to pay for? $50? $75? What's the difference? 5, and 8 of what? Why …

Nice creative idea here. I think its pretty fun. A few things: 1. Sometimes I have no idea what an image is showing. Text would be really helpful. 2. What is the purpose of hints? …

Hm, I think you forgot a colon.

This still doesn't solve the problem of helping users discover what tags are out there. I didn't even know about tags like 'discussion' or 'support' until I read this post, and I w…

Now I feel like an idiot, thanks :)

[To preface this, I'm assuming you're in or about to enter college] If you're really motivated, I would recommend looking through previous years' lists of participating organizatio…

[tl;dr I'm looking for advice on how to spot an intellectually stimulating job] I'm a newly grad in CS who's doing part time work over the summer while searching for a job. Fortuna…

> As for who pays for all this, the ISPs and copyright owners will share the costs of operating the program, sources said. After reading this, I still don't understand how the RIAA…

Blehg, GNU Typist recommends putting two spaces after period. Someone needs a lesson from a typographer.

I'm sure it helps to have the right parents too. When I was in elementary school, I showed great curiosity for how our old Macintosh worked, but the internet wasn't around, there w…
