crispytx··on Ask HN: Large brand wants to buy my side project, what should I do?

crispytx··on Udacity the new ITT Tech?
I just finished taking the first of their Android Basics courses (User Interface), and I thought it was excellent. The course was free however. I'd be hesitant to pay $200 a month though for the non-free courses. In my opinion, Udacity's courses are high quality, but also expensive.

crispytx··on Ask HN: Has all interesting desktop software already been written?
At the mortgage company I worked at after college, the entire company was using "command line style" "ms-dos" looking software that ran the entire company. This software completely dominates the entire mortgage market! Makes some boring ass mortgage software with a GUI and some bug fixes and you might make yourself a millionaire. And the software was not "rock solid". It had all kinds of bugs that screwed up customers accounts and cost them $$$. The only reason companies use shit like that is because it beats running the company manually without a computer. So anyway, go out there and write yourself some boring business process software!
crispytx··on How to Fall 35,000 Feet And Survive (2010)
Whoever wrote this obviously has never seen a skydiver impact the ground at high speed. Watch a video of high performance canopy pilot, or "swooper", impact the ground at 60mph; they bounce off the ground like rag dolls, and are usually left with broken femurs. An impact at 100mph will most certainly kill you unless something extraordinary breaks your fall.

crispytx··on Ask HN: What command line interface do you wish had a graphical user interface?
I run cPanel (Graphical User Interface Linux Server Administration) on my Virtual Private Server and just love it. It makes things so much easier. I can just focus on programming, and not system administration. So to answer your question: I wish every hosting option had something like cPanel!
