Just take on a conventional second job to make the money. If you reduce your living expenses at the same time, that will make your earning requirements for the second job lower. Aside from inventing an innovative idea or finding an existin

This doesn't account for the fact that most copies of the NYT would likely be read by more than one person. The ad rates take these extra readers into account. How many people do you know who would gladly let others read the news off of t

Yes, but you need to find a way to do picture sharing better. What would differentiate your startup from flickr or photobucket? A tie in to all the networking sites where you upload your photo once and they show up in all of your networks

Lisp's age is not an issue. The fact that the Common Lisp standardization process happened prematurely and effectively killed the language is a problem.

SICP and HtDP have different audiences. HtDP was designed for people who know nothing about computer programming, particularly students who would not be pursuing a degree in computer science. SICP was used in a first CS course. Because t

Even on Windows, I find it hard to think of a power user who isn't at least passingly familiar with the command prompt. I'd recommend either O'Reilly's bash shell book or 'classic shell scripting' which covers a bit more than just a shell l

Can anyone without shell/cli knowledge really be called an experienced user?

Yes, that's how he intends to weed out the undedicated.

The problem is that you'll maybe find two other people on this site who understand functional and meta-programming well enough to discuss the issues with you (and I'm not yet one of them).

Lisp is neat in that the core language has mechanisms for extension built in. Do you know if any of the other up and coming languages have this same feature or capability? Can any of the stack-based Forth-like languages? Smalltalk is pro

You realize that at this point, the best candidate programming language for 100 year language is probably COBOL, followed after a good ways behind it by C. What about Lisp? I don't believe it's gaining new programmers at a fast enough rate

Xen is open source: http://www.xen.org/ Why not install it on a test box in house and decide for yourself how well it fits your needs?

That's what FDIC insurance is for. You just probably need to have accounts in a number of different banks to ensure you won't lose your money.

Considering that the paper is posted as an unpublished draft on his documents listing, isn't it a bit silly to criticize this paper because it has typos and spelling errors?

I think you need to go back and look up the definition of 'open standard'. Someone figuring out how to reverse engineer one company's product implementation does not make that either 'open' or a 'standard'. What's needed is a written spec

This isn't entirely correct. If you're just talking about enhancing a web page, then ok sure Javascript is more widely used. However, if you're talking about building Rich Internet Applications, Flex is many lightyears ahead of what JavaS

Why would anyone need or want this? Running Windows as a standard user and/or Vista's UAC mechanism seems to provide the same functionality. I can see that the virtualization layer is more beneficial if you were trying to make it so applic

The app store seems like a good idea. However, I don't understand the purpose of a virtualization layer on top of Windows.

Not downloading and installing crap would significantly improve your experience of using the computer.

Does not functional programming allow you to do just that?

Object oriented programming is definitely the way to go. OOP came about as a series of incremental improvements made to procedural programming. First came the idea of segmenting functionality into more manageable 'building blocks' called m

The only problem your startup will face is that the couchsurfing types don't want to actually pay anything. Otherwise, this is a neat idea for a startup.

O'Reilly's DNS and Bind is the book for you. O'Reilly has several books on Apache as well, for information about web server security.

There's always OMeta: http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~awarth/ometa/ This is a generalized tool that will let you specify any language you want and target Javascript. OMeta has been implemented in several different languages; the Javascript imple

Hello Edb, I agree with noodle's comment(s) below. Your best bet is to hire someone to replace you and retain your stake in the company. The cost of an employee will definitely reduce your annual income, but then you won't have to worry a

When you have another partner who has no other ventures to worry about, there shouldn't be anything to worry about.
