It is common to you. But who are you? And therein lies the rub.

Anecdotal evidence isn't useful when it comes to research like this: I feel that the experimental design is flawed by not balancing out this very significant variable to be representative of the population at large (estimates vary, but the non-religious make up from 2-20% of the population depending who you ask and how you define the question).

My experience is that a significant portion of people in the world do not identify themselves as spiritually active and that people these people do not have such "mystical experiences", whether exposed to hallucinogenics or not.

I came up with a similar idea independently - except it was more of a social game (with foursquare-esque achievements). I envisioned a mechanism for confirmation of the rendezvous whereby both parties run the app and agree the meeting occurred and their proximity is verified. That's about as far as I got.

Edit: looks like with.me did the closest thing to this already.

There's definitely a market for this, and it saddens me.

Choosing a name is supposed to be difficult. You're supposed to brainstorm for hours, bounce ideas off your friends and second guess yourself. Having to go through this pain to get to the right name adds character to the business through authenticity.

Choosing a name from a list of pre-created brands, clever or not, is a cop out.

Best of luck, though. I'm sure you'll do well.

I like that art style. I don't know if you could convince me to buy a schmup, but the art goes a long way towards that.
I am willing to thank someone who listens and then fixes something. To do otherwise is just rude.
The shuttle had wings, Falcon 9 / Dragon does not. That's also why it had expensive/brittle tiles rather than ablative shielding, was strapped on sideways, had solid rocket boosters to handle the added weight, and didn't have an eject capability. Also all of its stuff splashed at parachute speed into the sea. The shuttle wasn't so much reusable as rebuild-able. By contrast this SpaceX concept looks like it could pretty much be stacked back up, fuelled and re-launched.
Congratulations! I wish you'll be able to do that.
I seem to remember hearing about there being an indicator of whether or not you should be given an "enhanced screening" as well. I assume it is set if you are on a watch list, or randomly otherwise.

> Every fresh server install, I have to make up a meaningless string called the 'login'

If you are only doing the occasional install then this really shouldn't be a great hardship. If you are installing many servers you should have this part automated. And ti shouldn't be meaningless either. I think you are doing it wrong.

> Once upon a time, I could use the well known admin login 'root'.

You still can. root login can always be reenabled if you want it that badly. There is also "sudo su" (unless explicitly disabled by your admins) to avoid repeated invocations of sudo while you are performing a long admin task.

> - Here's a better way of doing it:

> Give me a server distro where I don't need a 'login'.

No, no, and thrice no. Far too many newbies will leave it in that state and get hacked to buggery in short order. Even if it is only for local console logins, I'd consider it a bad idea.

No matter how inconvenient it is, server install should default to an insecure state and allowing access without authentication is such a state.

Live CDs often do this, but they are not production systems.

> Meanwhile, why is apache pretending to be a 'user'

Well that much is a valid point. There has been work in this area but non of it has made its way to default setups of most unix-a-like systems.
Yup, I found the mock primitive a bit grating. However, I liked the chicken drawing enough that I'm going to print it and put it next to the computer.

MFÖ – Hep Yaşın 19 ŞArkı Sözü, Şarkı Sözleri
I really wouldn't know about the specific Unix related points, but his frustration is easily recognized in my current work on MS enterprise applications.

The actual solution is a desktop client and a web application used for simple CRUD purposes, each with around 10 screens / pages.

We have a huge suite of tests. We have a large amount of different layers. Gigantic amounts of interfaces inheriting from interfaces, and being passed around as parameters. Partial classes, with implementation spread out all around the application. Everything grandly designed according to design patterns, and every piece of code positioned in the smallest possible unit. Everything in the front end is a user control.

In theory this gives us extreme extensibility, flexibility and code reuse. From an academics stand point, it's well designed according to best practice.

In reality, it is completely and utterly obfuscating the actual code that get things done. Adding another db field to the UI requres modification of data-access layer, business object layer, changes to 2-3 different types of interfaces, additional code to a type conversion class, initialization code in the front-end, additional display logic to a user control, extra custom validation logic etc etc.

I really feel with the author, and can unfortunately confirm it's often the same shit no matter what software you are dealing with.
No, it flipped, decelerated, flipped back (off screen), re-entered brown bit first - that is the ablative shielding, then it must have flipped (off screen) while falling through atmosphere after re-entry because it came in to the landing pad feet first.

The phrase "measured on a widely used and scientifically validated personality inventory" jumps out at me. What does that really mean?

Myers-Briggs is 'widely used' and proponents would probably argue it has been 'empirically validated' (by this one study no one can reproduce...). Myers-Briggs still lacks the "retest reliability" necessary for this sort of analysis.

In fact, in most personality tests, you'd expect wild swings in personality without drugs, even by just waiting a day.

Thanks at least for responding. The other thumb-downers were too much in a hurry to, apparently.

I know I'm not doing system programming. My point is that a very small minority of programmers is doing system programming. And if you're not part of that minority, software isn't at all as bad as Dahl describes. In fact, it got super many enablers for free, without many corresponding headaches, over the last 10 years or so. There are a lot of real decent high level tools.

Most of the Java ecosystem is open source, btw, and it has comparably easy high level tools as Visual Studio / .NET. Eclipse and NetBeans are real decent and open source, and so are Maven and all tooling for the cool JVM languages (i.e. not Java). I don't think my point applies to proprietary platforms like .NET only.

In fact Node is quickly becoming an equally cool platform. Big load of open source libraries, robust and dependable core engine, thriving community, excellent package management, etc. Nothing there to hate.

I daresay Ryan Dahl hates software for us so we don't have to.

While the idea is interesting, the app will have to compete with more general-purpose note-taking apps, e.g. Evernote.

For me, Evernote already provides all the individual pieces (tag by person name, record date, time and location etc.) and also allows to store pictures/audio notes, is multi platform etc. etc.

The FDIC does this kind of thing all the time, especially these days. Yes, it would cause some pain and mayhem, but nothing compared to what will probably result from the current paralysis. If the money spent so far on propping up insolvent institutions had instead been put towards FDIC takeovers of insolvent banks, guarantees of their retail deposits, and prosecutions for mortgage fraud a la the S&L crisis, there would be a lot more confidence in the world's economic future by now.

Such a response has only been politically infeasible in the US because the financial industry has such a stranglehold on US political discourse. (See Confidence Men, and in particular its description of the resistance Obama faced when he tried to do this kind of thing with Citigroup.)

hey, since you've been through the program and we recently got selected I had a few questions - that I hope you'd answer:

1) Can you stay on there longer after the 6 months? What are the permit restrictions etc?

2) How many people actually came there with little or no product ready and actually built up while in Chile itself?

3) What are the odds that people who fall under the category of 2) got funding there itself?

What I am trying to understand is - is this something more worthwhile for those who already have something running and are maybe already talking to investors? Or is it also an equally good opportunity for people who've been playing with an idea and will have maybe 60% ready by the time they get there - but have no other investment other than their own money ?

Thanks a lot!

This technical tip shows how to Copy or Move worksheets within or between workbooks. Sometimes, you do need a number of worksheets with common formatting and data entry. For example, if you work with quarterly budgets, you might want to create a workbook with sheets that contain the same column headings, row headings, and formulas. There is a way to do this: by creating one sheet and then copying it three times. Generally, it's easier to create and copy the worksheets. Aspose.Cells supports Copy or Move worksheets within or between workbooks. The worksheets including data, formattings, tables, matrices, charts, images and other objects are copied with the highest degree of precision.
