The advice to go 64-bit and throw RAM at the problem brings back memories of my computational math class.

I realize you say this jokingly, but seeing that at this there are almost as many others as female (14 v 16) I'm curious how they define it. If I had to guess it would be mostly male->female given the overwhelming number of males, but I

Here's some quick thoughts: if this is going to be used for short stories (fiction/non-fiction, but not blog posts) you could monetize by letting readers build an anthology and printing nice volumes for them. You could also (if the authors

Ah, I get where you're coming from now. Interesting to think how that would work.

My old boss was born and raised in France and would use that expression all the time. She thought it was funny.

I kind of agree. I prefer the middle ground of notepad++ (with plugins for code completion and ftp/file explorer). Light and powerful while still resembling something designed for human consumption.

Math related search is generally not good. You can find theorems and definitions but proofs (non-famous ones) exercises are difficult to find.

Have you tried getting mentioned on travel blogs? Try looking specifically at the ones targeting backpackers.

There's a difference between sacrificing another and sacrificing yourself.

I don't see why not. I learned the math part of that (and more) in one year of grad school and basic C++ instead of the two languages. Just takes dedication if you're doing it on your own, I know I couldn't have.

I agree there should be a cost for posting stories, even going so far as preventing further submissions if you fall below a certain threshold. You could raise your karma back up through commenting.

I've always interpreted that phrase to mean "they're not doing this for free, you know" because of the tone in which it's usually said.

To add on to this, every search engine is generally pretty bad at math related searches. It may be something worth looking into.

While I don't think it's the case, I do think it would be a brilliant strategy. The NYT article on the Iran negotiations seems rather helpful to the US, but nothing that could ever be said officially (especially the positions of other natio

It definitely takes longer for calls to connect and I think it may drop calls more frequently when using it on a cell (although it has improved greatly in that regard from about a year ago). I recently started using it through gmail and hav

There is no voice lag in GV that I've noticed, I think it works more like call-forwarding than voip.

Walden by Henry David Thoreau. It's public domain, so you can get it free. I challenge anyone here to read the first page and not immediately want to read the whole thing.

Sorry about the weird formatting, it looks fine when I paste in the comment box. You'll need to add line breaks after the comments to get it working.

OK, I felt compelled to check some of the source. Aside from references to tripod.com and every js library out there, here's what I saw where there were credits: Auction: Professional Auction Script Software by PHP Pro Bid Microblogging: sc

Not to continue the off-topic, but I've noticed this problem and started a mailing list just focusing on review requests ( http://minvp.com ). Of course, that too dropped off the new page with no comments :)

I'm not adverse to creative spellings, but it just looked like a typo as opposed to being intentional (which I realized after seeing it in a few places). Just my gut reaction. Overall it seems cool. I just got an iPad myself and think there

- The first question I would have is about pricing. What's the point of a free trial (for you and your users) if they won't pay afterward? - I would change the generic iPad home screen to one showing your app. - Also, I was going to comment

While not good, that is part of hedging. It's basically an insurance premium for a policy they never had to collect on.

That's a good point on #3. Just to toss out an idea- what if the service offered tracking of the referral and could provide some sort of analytics to help retailers optimize their social campaigns. For example- I complete a purchase on Reta
