good point maybe I should do the application to see if I learn something there but I just don't see the point otherwise. I am happy to use news.YC as a resource and like to get involved in the discussions but I feel at 33 and a single found

I would go for sql server 2005/8 in a .net enviroment. I have never had any speed problems. Also if you are going to use asp.net membership stuff it makes sense to go with it. There is a mySQL membership provider but its not great from my p

very true but I have seen valid responses down modded because of fanboyism and blindness to other views. I guess we don't always behave in a grown up way online. I am as guilty of that as the next guy.

I think news.yc has a 5th troll behavior and it's down modding a comment because they disagree with it. I have been down modded a number of times not for saying something rude or stupid just something that others don't agree with. I tend to

I have already written off YC because of pg's postings on single founders. I don't agree with it but I can see his point a load shared is a load halved. I have taken my own route and if it works out then I will go out of my way to help sing

perhaps the founders don't have the skills needed to grow the company further so hired the talent in. Also maybe the investors behind it wanted someone with experience at the helm. This is common stuff that happens all the time in funded st

trust me companies that monitor their employees online time will fire employees caught surfing to much after a couple of times. The person surfing the net to long is not working and thats the end of the story for these companies.

Is there any research to back the time-suck problem up? Companies will just fire users with a problem so there is no business us for it. Having 2 companies taking different approaches is fine but I am not convinced this is big business at a
