Congratulations on launching the biggest startup yet!
These are interesting results. I'm an ENTP - which seems to me to be an extroverted version of INTP. If you lump those two together - it seems that the overwhelming people here are very, very similar.

I saw/heard some clever advertising this morning. At least, I think it's clever - it's possible that this is an old trick but I've never come across it before.On my drive in this morning I saw signs along the side of the road. They were advertising a new radio station called "HouseTalk AM 1650". Being the highly suggestive person I am, I tuned to the station and heard a woman's voice...
My generalization stems from the number of comments with peers and countless internet searches for fixes.
In the case of peers, wireless card support was a common complaint.
In the case of searching, looking around the forums will give you a pretty good idea that wireless card support is pretty bad. I bought a standard Belkin wireless card from the local Staples. It should have worked, but didn't.
Yes, I think it's pretty broken.
These annoyances don't seem to be all that critical. I haven't been able to use my wireless card on Gutsy since I installed it several months ago.
Last night, I upgraded to Heron and voila, my wireless card is recognized and functional.
Annoyances aside, making Ubuntu's very broken wireless driver support a little less broken makes installing Heron much more appealing than previous versions.
That's why you should create an alter ego who thinks Matt Maroon is so great he makes a fan site.

Am I the only one who thinks his writing is a bit obscure? I don't mean that what he's talking about is obscure but that the angles he takes come from seemingly weird directions.

What about correcting for color blindness? There must be a relatively easy way to auto correct certain colors so they stand out more. I bet there'd be a market for that.
We might live in a computer simulation and it might be too computationally expensive for our simulators to simulate our world post-singularity.That's an awful lot of "mights".

It doesn't mean you had to be alive or capable of reading in the 70's or 70's; have you read anything you liked that was published then?
If there's anything I learned from statistics, it's the sneakiness of the word "significant". What, exactly, is a significant boost? Two points? Ten?
I think he's at home resting. Probably recovering from carpal tunnel syndrome.
I would have thought there'd be a few more wiggles of false hope just before the trough of sorrow. You know, to make the trough of sorrow that much deeper and painful!
I don't know, a lot of these guidelines seem to be arbitrary. It's good practice to keep code small and to the point, but to say that a class should never exceed 50 lines of code is a little too exact and makes the whole list a bit suspect.
That, sir, is bizarre logic.
I started with C and then quickly realized that BASIC was much more fun, precisely because it was easier and therefore more fun.
I think he's referring to your usage of "u". Adding four characters to your title isn't that hard, and the above poster "newbie" or not is right, I think we'd all prefer to see "you" instead of "u".

Windows only at the moment though, they appear to be working on MacOSX.

I think the beauty of these types of sites is that we've probably haven't heard of many of them.
This is incredibly insightful advice. Almost accidentally, I've found that recursively asking "why?" results in very unexpected answers. And by unexpected I mean insightful.
