    This is genius! I love it.

    If you're studying Chinese, maybe you realized that Chinese writing works in a very similar way.

    I'd recommend Careless People, if you haven't read it.

    I had one of these break within a few days of purchase. It's a no for me.

    I just released my SAT Writing textbook: https://www.amazon.com/Matthews-Guide-Digital-SAT-Writing/dp...

    It took me two and a half years to finish. Now I've got to market it.

    Very well said. There really should be a public option. Large scale PBS for the internet.

    Recently I've been thinking about deconstructing a ThinkPad and putting the internals inside a MIDI controller. We're at the stage where VSTs/DAWs easily sound better than any synthesizer with internal sounds. But, it's a huge pain to carry a laptop and a sound card to a gig. When will someone address this?

    Can I run this on my laptop?

    I'd love to see this for English grammar

    Well it was founded as a non-profit

    I think one thing that this article misses out on is that people are more and more likely to have many careers over a lifetime. In my case, I was a teacher, then a technical writer, then a teacher again. And now I'm shifting into curriculum development. The skills built in my different careers all have complemented each other, and I don't feel as if any of them are my one and only "dream job."

    My first thought when I read this, and it may very well be misinformed, was that she is probably using a team of ghostwriters. Many novelists at that level are. Your name just becomes a brand at a certain point.

    Would it be possible to create a web browser where different tabs are running other browsers? Like I could have chrome in one tab and Firefox in another? Almost like a VM?

    This looks like a great project.

    What are the system requirements? And shouldn't they be listed on your website?

    There are no good dinosaur films because films are basically about people. Jurassic Park works because it allows for the conceit of people and dinosaurs coexisting.

    I'm not sure about this. I heard mixed reports. I don't have a car so I can't test it.
