Review my website soundkey.com | amix: Why not use unique URIs, like: http://soundkey.com/165pgx or http://165pgx.soundkey.com/Seems to be easier than having users copy-paste keys around. |

Review my website soundkey.com | evlapix: The thing I appreciate most about the site is the "SoundKeys in Action" slide show. My imagination didn't get me there, but your slide show convinced me this was a necessary service (for somebody) almost immediately.I think this is a great "outside the box" idea, yet still grounded in that it solves a problem.I hope it is very successful. |

Review my website soundkey.com | giu: Nice idea, nice web site layout, nice presentation. Now to my questions. How do you ensure that a common word (e.g. 'Bruschetta') is pronounced right? Can user obtain a certain trust level (like Translators over at Twitter), so they can approve the correctness of a pronounced word? Or, expressed in a more general way: how do you fight trolls (Yes, I'm quite interested in spam/troll-fighting techniques :)? |

Looking for suggestions for a desktop rich GUI | Kliment: I'd highly recommend wxPython or pygame, depending on the nature of the user interface. It's very pleasant for rapid prototyping/iteration. |
Looking for suggestions for a desktop rich GUI | davidw: It depends on what you're doing and what kind of application you need to build. Will it be hooked up to the internet? Do you expect to try and update it often?Tcl and Tk are definitely "not what the cool kids are using", but are still fine tools for whipping up a quick GUI, and, despite that everyone "knows" they "look awful", have been updated to look modern, especially in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing in terms of design (which was one of the reasons Tcl and Tk got a bad reputation - they never emphasized that in the culture around the language). |

Where did you go to college? | walesmd: Did a stint at FSU but I was too immature and irresponsible to follow through with it, pissed a 200% scholarship down the drain.Enlisted in the USAF, grew up a bit and attempted University of Phoenix Online (a joke), American Military University (part of the American Public University System, another joke), gave up on online school for a bit.After separating I gave Troy University a try (their entire CS department is online) but they use Blackboard and I've grown to hate Blackboard.I'll be giving Franklin University a try in the next few months - their interface is appealing, the program looks solid and they've received solid reviews.I really enjoyed my little time at FSU - it seemed as if I was really learning something and I loved the "feel" of being on campus, hanging out between classes in breezeways with other students - it just felt like happy (if that makes any sense).A lot has changed in the last 8 years though, family/life/work and going full-time on-campus just isn't feasible any longer. The majority of online schools disappoint me because the average student is a complete idiot with no concern for spelling/grammar.I guess I'm a unique target for the online schools, since I actually want to learn something - not just earn a piece of paper. |

Looking for suggestions for a desktop rich GUI | dkersten: I personally use Qt for my GUI needs and am building a large startup-related app with it at the moment. If working in C++ is too painful/slow/effort for you, PyQt is a powerful (and very easy) alternative, but the license may not suit your needs (dual licence GPL/Commercial). PySide is an LGPL version thats compatible (or almost compatible) with PyQt, developed by the Maemo team, but I'm not sure how mature it is.Qt has excellent support for traditional GUI widgets, graphics (you can even embed widgets in OpenGL, allowing you to transform, zoom, rotate etc them as OpenGL geometry), networking, concurrency, plugins and other niceties. |

Review my website soundkey.com | JangoSteve: This is pretty cool idea, and the "SoundKeys in Action" slideshow was definitely helpful.It seems like the ubiquitous use-cases you're aiming for will rely heavily on the trademark as well. Have you successfully trademarked "SoundKey" for the many uses you've illustrated? I'm just curious, because it seems like a very obvious description of what it is (like trying to trademark "WebDesign" for a web design company). If so, then that's amazing and I think this has the potential to really take off.On a lighter note, the pronunciation of "Waves crashing on the beach" is hilarious: http://soundkey.com/browse-sounds/58-waves |

How do you store patient information? (HIPAA Compliance) | scifarelli: I have a degree in Medical Record Administration and one of my past positions was Manager of Medical Records and Privacy Officer for a hospital. The Office of Civil Rights enforces the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules. You can check out their HIPAA website at http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/ You can also review the Security Rule which sets forth guidelines for protecting electronic data. This can be found on http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/administrative/security... - click on "Security Rule Standards - Final Rule" under Security Rule History. It's a pain to read because it's written by the government, but it may have the info you need. |

For the prototype.js users -- is it worth it? | avital: MooTools (http://mootools.net) contains all the capabilities of jQuery and Prototype.js, together with a very impressive class system which allows for better modularity in your code. It has a very supportive community and is being constantly developed. You might also want to read Aaron Newton's long post comparing jQuery to MooTools: http://jqueryvsmootools.com/That being said, you'll find much more people fluent in jQuery or Prototype.js than in MooTools. |

How do I get people to "fan" my facebook page? | Watts: I have had success gaining fans for my Facebook page using Facebook ads. I targeted my ad to people who fit my niche and I gained fans fairly quickly. I also made sure to keep my fan page fairly active by posting there on a regular basis. |

How do I get people to "fan" my facebook page? | JacobAldridge: I'm just getting into Twitter for my business, and finding that as I give so I do receive. Depending on your vision will determine how scalable this model is - I'm shooting for 100 followers this week and 1000 by July 1st, and not all of this will be doable at that scale.1) Sent the first few tweets that explained who I and the company are.2)I followed x number of people who looked interesting and relevant to my business. Many of them followed back (very few auto-followed)3) I installed TweetDeck to sit in the background when I'm online (and not in do not disturb mode) - there are often questions or observations from someone I follow that I can contribute to. I reply, and so far, most times I do they tweet a thank you, and I get 2-3 signups within 10 mins from their followers.4) When I get a new follower, I have a quick look at who they follow or who follows them, for new leads to repeat Step 2.5) Next step is to Direct message all new followers. In your case, that might be linking to your Facebook page?A note on Facebook pages - it takes me four clicks after I log in to access my own fan page. The likelihood of me doing that for any other business? Nil. |

Books That Should Be Read | hga: Ah, that turned out to be easier than I expected, after I remember that I always keep a copy to give to someone depressed (it fully satisfies the "or at least should know about" criteria):Feeling Good, The New Mood Therapy by David D. Burns, M.D. (http://www.amazon.com/Feeling-Good-Therapy-Revised-Updated/d...)This is the best popular treatment of cognitive therapy (nowadays cognitive behavioral therapy, I haven't read this newer edition). Anyone who's depressed really needs to try this out, with or without the aid of anti-depressants.The thesis is that you, at least in part, make yourself depressed by telling yourself depressing things that are largely false, about yourself, about what others are saying and doing to/about to you, etc.; in general, incorrect filtering of what you perceive.So you identify those things and do you best to correct your mis-perceptions. Since I read an earlier edition in the '80s, behavioral therapy has been added to the mix, and that's supposed to help (I can't vouch for it either way).Anyway, after I read this (and a few other cognitive psychology works) talking therapy became absolutely useless ... I'd "fixed" myself as much as possible in this way.(Knowledge of this is also really useful to understanding the end of the Evangelion anime TV series (seriously, the creator was coming out of a multi-year bad period, "living by not dying").) |
Books That Should Be Read | aarongough: '1984' by George Orwell - Even after all this time it is a chilling look at one of the many ways a society can go wrong, particularly relevant these days because so many parts of it are coming true.'Snow Crash' by Neal Stephenson - Awesome cyberpunk novel that anyone with an interest in programming.'The Night's Dawn Trilogy' by Peter F. Hamilton - Fantastically engrossing series of books that are so good you will finish them wishing they were longer. The portrait painted in the books is so vivid that you will remember it for years to come.(In case you can't tell, I like Sci-Fi :-p) |

How to open a U.S. bank account without stepping foot in the US | cperciva: As a Canadian I found that Harris Bank is great -- when you sign up for a bank account online, you can check a "I am a Canadian" box and everything Just Works. (I'm guessing this is because Harris Bank is owned by Bank of Montreal.)I don't think Harris Bank does this for other countries, though, so if you're not Canadian this won't help you. |
