Thanks, I agree that lawyers can quickly escalate the situation. His email to me was already pretty hostile, but I am trying to keep it cool unless there is no alternative.

I can't find any list of prerequisites for this class, though their FAQ https://www.ai-class.com/registration/faq implies that there are some. Does anyone know if this class is noob friendly? (as in someone with no CS or programming back

When I saw the domain name, I thought it would be about bughouse. Great app nonetheless!

It's a nifty experience when you're browsing the web and come across a blog that uses the same exact wordpress template that you do... ( http://allanchao.com/blog/ )

Unrelated to autocorrection, but my little rant. If I type fast Google instant only catches the first half of what I type. I don't know what kind of javascript runs instant but it fails for fast typers. Happens on different computers and

This is not directly related to your programming concern, but you might find the article useful. Paul Graham's Why to Not Not Start a Startup: http://paulgraham.com/notnot.html

No comment on the contents of the article, but (1) inaccurate article title (see below) and (2) incredible hard-to-read web design. "I realize I might take some heat for lumping women, children and the mentally handicapped in the same group

It's interesting that in a different article, I think it's Sequoia that said something along the lines of "something as revolutionary as this comes around once a decade. It's the next Google". Seems like the goal of color is to aggregate va

I use Quickbooks 2011 desktop. It's pretty 1995 when it comes to user interface, but it actually does everything I need and want, and I wouldn't move without very good reason. It has the online connecting stuff that you're talking about,

It may be hard for you to find a job directly. A lot of lower level positions are filled by temp agencies. I would recommend looking into that. Think of a temp agency like an internship where you actually get paid decently - it frequentl

Two points. First, yes you are getting screwed. I pay developers in south asia more than you are getting paid here in the US. Please no flaming about that - it's relevant because the cost of living is so vastly different between US and (e

Sorry, but usually idea is worth virtually nothing. Having been a technical co-founder before and now the business founder, I've been on both sides of the coin. Unless you have actually built a profitable business before, it's very hard t

I'm pretty sure trademark protection only affects the domain that it's trademarked in. On the link below by personalcompute, it's the "Goods and Services". So that means you can still use the word color in normal use, but I'd be cautious

Wow, this is the most personally insulting article I've ever read on HN. I've been programming since I was 8, worked at a successful startup (that used .NET exclusively), and do most of my pet projects on the MS stack. I can't agree with
