When I first filled out my profile at the site I didn't even notice that you were selling shirts. I wouldn't be surprised if other visitors didn't notice either.

Your page is tactful, clean and direct. I immediately recognized what your application did, and signup appeared easy and simple. It appears to me that you've taken the most commonly articulated criticisms of webapp pages into account and ad

My meditation is hardly regimented and strict, and is the result of many hours of searching the internet for proper meditative technique. I would say it most closely resembles Zen meditation, as it is primarily centered around maintaining a

I've found in my experience that (many, not all) self-proclaimed "experts" do tend to grossly overestimate the capabilities and competence, and will impede those who are more capable than them for fear that they will diminish the value of t

I'm not going to mod this article up because I've seen this (and similar articles) countless times before, however I will answer your question, because I do believe there is merit to what is being said in these articles. 1. Exercise. It doe

The release clearly stated that the Kindle 2 was 20% faster (now corrected on the page). The video demonstrated that this figure was certainly within reason.

I'm certainly not opposed to this, but wouldn't a "suggested revisions" option be more suitable? I could see users quarreling over appropriate article names, and perfectly valid ones being changed without need. For instance, a user could su

I do not regularly pay for any online service. Why? Because there are an enormity of free and open source alternatives. Granted, some "free alternatives" aren't entirely legal, however they're alternatives nonetheless, just with an associ

These puzzles aren't necessarily used in interviews, and I'm sure that employers who are looking for intelligent employees have several ways of attaining them.

Your product is great, and I'm sure you'll have no trouble making sales. However, the two pictures on the "Tanks" page looked a bit tacky, and I thought the splash page was unnecessary. Also, three videos on the home page seems excessive. M

I'm not so sure. After becoming conditioned to having to click the "Allow" button over a long period of time, it might become rote for people to allow even the most detrimental processes (having become accustomed to UAC's paranoia). It seem

I'd like to understand what's being described in this article, but unfortunately I lack the necessary educational background. Does anyone have any links to other resources that will allow me to better understand what is being discussed in t

I can't say I'm too fond of the color scheme. However, I left the site feeling impressed, primarily because I'm quite fond of the site's purpose. It might be beneficial to replace the tag cloud with something a bit less abstract and conside

Not too dark to read, but dark enough (at least on my screen) that it's a bit uncomfortable. Other than that the theme is quite pleasant.

From jm4: "Compiz and Beryl. Beryl forked from Compiz and, if I remember correctly, relations were very sour between the two projects. Several months later they merged into Compiz Fusion."

What's the deal with For Frak's Sake's “GMail's Report Spam Button is Worthless” article? Is it just me or does that article do absolutely nothing to articulate any of the problems with GMail's service, only calling it "worthless" because i

Yes, to say the least. But they are far more specialized, and more difficult to invite people to. And, you probably wouldn't be interested anyway. However, What and Waffles are the largest and most content-oriented.
