Re:Why I eat alone and probably you should too on Tuesday October 19, 2010 @05:28PM (#1808842)
I respect this guy's idea, but some transactions and ideas happen when you eat lunch with awesome folks. Great ideas could be incepted by one person, but molded into better iterations by other contributors of the conversation.
I prefer Google's simplicity. Doesn't make my life complicated. Simplicity isn't ugly either.
Yes, you are way ahead of the game (social media-wise)
Re:Lost in Translation on Sunday July 25, 2010 @06:44PM (#1546527)
Kind of odd I got minus points; because some of us speak more than 3 languages. Oh well, lesson learned =)
Re:Lost in Translation on Saturday July 24, 2010 @05:36PM (#1544430)
This is actually true. Some languages use passive pronouns to tell a story while English mostly uses pronouns in the active format. That alone can transpose a meaning to a whole different level. While English does have a wide array of lingo to explain ideas and circumstances; languages such as that of France's can intricately indicate the gender modality of a sentence by the linking of pronouns and verbs.

Interesting, indeed.

When they come up with breakthrough technology like this, another company is developing an anti-aircraft weapon against this as well.
Re:Chinese philanthropist donates all his fortune on Saturday July 24, 2010 @04:50PM (#1544344)
I would say that by the time he said this, his children already have their own businesses, acquired some good wealth of their own, and have been groomed well to run them (and as well as handle/invest money wisely)
Like how angel investors prefer referrals; they may also prefer referring folks they know in their network.
Re:The Top Idea in Your Mind on Wednesday July 21, 2010 @10:03PM (#1537138)
That is why they say, ask for something (your good idea for instance) then let it go. It happens when you least think about it.
Re:On the scalability of Linus on Wednesday July 21, 2010 @03:54PM (#1536336)
Like Windows, Facebook, and others; it is the platform that makes Linux scalable. With that being, we'd like to create a platform for other developers to collaborate and develop their own.
Re:I am doing a startup (putting virtual machines on the web) on Wednesday July 21, 2010 @02:13PM (#1536000)
This is awesome. Our company also does virtual appliances through different operating systems. It'd be nice to learn more. We also use the virtual appliances for exchange, saas, NFS, and web servers.

Keep up the good work.

I was wondering if there was a cell phone effect wherein you thought you heard a cell phone ringtone while listening to music.
Re:The Turn (1993) on Saturday July 10, 2010 @02:53PM (#1504147)
This idea was probably taken from Coca Cola the ad wherein a pilot of an F-16 had to do a full roll when the bottle got stuck in the console.

A serendipitous negotiation technique that not all witty and lucky interviewees would like to share. Great input, nonetheless. =)

Have you heard about Sencha? Looks promising on highly-interactive CSS features for iPad and Android.
Re:R.I.P. Chatroulette, 2009-2010 on Tuesday June 29, 2010 @04:11PM (#1472627)
It could have been a huge potential, but what the founder lacked IMHO was he did not heed the advice of experienced pundits who'd like to further develop this space.
And this is where the startup needs to partner up with other powerful conglomerates. Like YouTube going to Google after being relentlessly sued by Viacom.

Re:Meditation Becomes Beneficial Surprisingly Fast on Saturday June 26, 2010 @06:28PM (#1464408)
It's almost like it, and that is an awesome gadget. You basically lower your body's frequencies - more like into a theta state. And that's when you can easily get into superlearning mode and/or eventually fall asleep.
Re:Meditation Becomes Beneficial Surprisingly Fast on Friday June 25, 2010 @06:30PM (#1462402)
I can say it's true that meditation does help with insomnia. In my case, it has made me sleep easily. Give it some time to relax and breathe, next thing you know you are feeling groggy. I know some serious meditators avoid falling asleep if they want to do these for hours, but it can be a challenge achieving that.

They should create an app for that. Seriously.
