Thanks! I got it to ramen-profitable after a couple years. Would be cool to make a mobile app. I'm sort of looking for a partner for that.

I'm the creator of Typeracer. When I launched it 5 years ago I had a similar UI - one line of scrolling text in a larger font, but based on user feedback ended up with the more natural UI of static text in a smaller font. Thanks for the co

Yes, that might work on some operating systems, but not on Windows XP ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg487503.as... )

Thanks. I also thought about installing an SSD. Many people seem to be afraid to use an SSD for memory swapping however, because they believe it will shorten the lifespan of the SSD (especially on Windows XP, due to its overly-aggressive s

I prefer to stay anonymous on here, but I can be reached by this same username on Gmail if anyone wants to know more. I'll just say that it's a very simple skill-based, text-based multiplayer race-against-others game (something like a multi

There are two kinds of execution: 1) building a prototype (which, knowing Mark, I'd say took him at most 2 days) and 2) sticking with it for several years and making it profitable, through the thick and thin, the emotional roller coaster, a

I disagree. First, you need both attraction and comfort. Comfort basically means showing a woman that you're interested in more than just sex. At the very least, this present does that. Furthermore, I think this particular present als

Bull. There are plenty of smart ppl successful in this area just as there are plenty of average guys unsuccessful at it.

I second the IO issue - it's alarming to have the HDD always churning when I have Chrome open. Assuming SQLite is the culprit, that's a good reason to think twice about embedding it into an application.

This is terrible news. If every other windows application starts using their code, you can expect hundreds of megs of RAM flushed down the drain on your system (each google updater process takes up about 10 megs). I hate this process always

Who would have thought, a year ago, that any site with that number of users would be shutting down. I too have seen ad revenues decrease 3-5x on my site. Are websites that don't sell a product no longer viable?

Interesting fact about TMs - while their computibility is equivalent to computers, the Big-O time for common algorithms is (possibly much) slower. Many O(n) tasks on computers with RAM are O(n^2) on a TM. The only commonality with computers
