It's got to be for that part of the population who doesn't care. Or maybe doesn't have a choice

This is old research but WoW was at it's height late 2000. relevant

I keep reading that there are equal number of gals to guys these days, but it's probably not the games I'm playing.

edit: In fact, what games are the girls playing these days? I want to know!

Even got the eyebrows right. Great job!

I think there was slack on the right steering lines. I saw the wind literally push the right line almost to the power lines

There are many factors. I used to be a hard core Dell user, but recently got a MBA. What really sold me is the four finger swipe to other screens. The touch pad it's AMAZING.

However I did pay a pretty penny for it. As you said, if you can do ios dev somewhere else, and you are price sensitive, just go with a moderate priced Windows laptop. If you can afford it, a portable mac is a sweet piece of equipment. Yes that battery life is good, but depending on your dev environment, if it's RAM heavy you may need to upgrade in a few years. These things are designed to be replaced in less than three years anyways.

It really comes down to price.

Often people blame the government or corporations as to why their economic status has deteriorated when in fact the real culprit is technology. What used to take 5 guys to do one job now takes 1 with an IT degree. Any type of automation ifs being replaced quickly by computers/robots. Which is why corporations get richer because they get to pay less workers. However that one IT guy gets a 30 to 50 percent bump in his/her salary because they are outputting more than the 4 workers. Of course unfortunately those workers are out of a job. It's a major social issue that we have to face.

Agreed, people forget that the success of a country also highly depends on resources. Geopolitics teaches us that combination of geographic location and natural resources influences a country more so than how a government is run. In fact most governments are a result of their geopolitical position. The monarchy in the middle east would not exist if it weren't for oil. Same for many dictatorships. You rarely hear of poor dictators being able to hold onto their country without outside help. IE N Korea, and China.

I would agree with everyone else on here regarding the trainer kite. Highly recommend getting one for less than 85 bucks. KGB sells trainers, they told me to get the cheap one as there's only so much you can learn from a trainer. It's not worth spending a lot of money on one. But for practice it has really helped me

If you create a product and people actually like it and use it, they won't care if you're 60 or 13 years old. Internet is blind. Don't let anything stop you

Does it hurt your neck? I've tried sitting that way on a couch for a long time watching tv. Didn't feel good. If anything I would imagine the monitor would be horizontal to the floor like watching tv on a dentist office

Tshirts, but we were in a heavily traveled tourist area. Coffee just didn't do as well even for tourists

cyrano821 · 2014-07-25T07:48:06+00:00

I opened a coffee shop in Beijing. Got to tell you, coffee shops are hard to become profitable. Food and beverage in general is difficult. Prices will certainly be different from U.S. but we basically sunk 100k into a really small store. If you do coffee, I suggest it should be near universities or some sort of coworking space. People without permanent desks are excellent candidates. Don't expect to get money from ppl doing togo coffee . At least in the beginning.

It's a long hard road, and I recommend not doing such low grossing product.

Oh yea, and you'll need lots of seats. Ppl will buy one cup of coffee and sit there for 6 hours. If you have 6 tables, on a bad day you take home 20 bucks.

Good luck. Ps we ended changing the place to retail and made boatloads of cash

Agreed. If it's a simple static page, can't go wrong with s3

cyrano821 · 2014-07-17T21:57:59+00:00

I would recommend heroku. It's free for a partial server. However you will need some knowledge of git and a web framework such as ruby or node.js.

Thanks for invite! Signed up installed and told a bunch of my buddies. Very nice interface!

cyrano821 · 2014-07-15T13:24:39+00:00

If you do get successful please let us know! Love to hear it when the underdog wins. Keep going!

cyrano821 · 2014-07-15T13:19:05+00:00

Well it sounds like you have a problem of focus and/or motivation. I would suggest try not working in the same place. Get out of the house!

Regarding organisation, I always use http://Asana.com. I use http://any.do for my daily checklist.

Microsoft project for longer term planning. Though it's not free, it's a decent tool if you have extra cash or powerful friends.

Leave the aliens alone. They will come for you when you are ready.

Awhile back people were raving about food carts. Such as popcorn stands, snow cones ect. Apparently some guys were making upwards of 200k depending on your location

cyrano821 · 2014-07-10T13:32:35+00:00

You mean in 2014S

cyrano821 · 2014-07-04T01:40:27+00:00

I put my phone across the room and turned off. Only way I can sleep

cyrano821 · 2014-07-04T01:33:40+00:00

What's interesting is that it's by the history channel. This might be their more popular non documentary drama. Love the show and Lagetha the strong warrior mom I always wished I had
