I had no idea dessert bars were so dangerous.
that "place" you refer to - are you speaking about your early days in Russia, or the US? Because I assure you discrimination is alive and well in both places.
How does one go about finding an attorney in these situations?

What do rendering times in Go look like, compared to a similar C implementation?

I for one didn't know about Digital Ocean before I put this survey out, and now I do, and am really grateful as a result.

I'm curious as to how they were able to line up the NYT coverage http://t.co/qCFneXpJwV with the launch announcement. Any idea who reps them, PR-wise?
This was a quick project I cooked up. Amazed at how much 3D geometry is made available in Google Earth.

Yeah, give it time. It usually takes the BlackBerry people a few years to catch up to the present.
Re:How RIM BlackBerry works with loyal app developers on Monday July 18, 2011 @12:00PM (#2776804)
I can corroborate with the author's story. I'm developing the BB app for a cross-platform group messaging app and I've also hit a wall of silence from RIM. I can confirm that they are deliberately not giving us access to certain parts of RIM's infrastructure that would make things a lot easier for us. Oh well, guess we'll have to engineer our way around those roadblocks and then open source it!

I used to work at Yahoo. This guy was a tool. A cursory search on Google explains all.

neato. I did some work in his lab 10 years ago. Back then the AR getup looked something like the Ghostbusters backpack.

3 points for 2 cents:

1. I didn't get within 10 seconds what you offer. Work on that.

2. I agree with some of the other commenters; curated lists (from a trusted source) would be a great idea, if thats the direction you want to head in.

3. It would be great if I could buy a track without having to create an account. You'd probably make more money too.

Re:A 20-Something Makes a Mint (and Sells It to Intuit) on Thursday December 03, 2009 @03:07AM (#973934)
word on the street is he took on his last round of financing at an extremely high valuation in order to drive the asking price of Mint up. Sounds like the investors in the last round got screwed!

Speaking from personal experience, their approval process is not lengthy at all. On their site they say 8-10 business days and sure enough I got approved on day 8.

I was at the BB Dev Con last week and their tech lead explained the approval process: "they load it, make sure it doesn't crash the phone, then sign off on it."
