I think it's very fascinating when you're talking about perhaps the most technologically-saavy president in history. What he does will drastically affect the direction of technology. Nearly all of these articles are related to him, his ad

I was just thinking about this one again, and here's a proposed solution: Create an anti IE6 Coalition. Here me out - you'd have one central website stating the purpose and all. If you wanted to join the cause, all you would have to do is

Equal wages just kills this, that's why. I will simply say that I'm smarter and harder working than the vast majority. I deserve to be rewarded. More importantly, it's an incentive to be harder working.

It can be complicated for a non-techie to even set up an apache server on their computer. We'd probably have a couple more good programmers in this world just by breaking down that barrier.

I was just doing customer service help with someone today actually. IE 6.0. I wanted to throw the guy into a lake. Of fire.

I can see it now - the iPhone injection! Inject your iPhone with the stuff, get 50% more battery.

Sounds like the space elevator. The problem's that the moon and earth move back and forth too far, and space debris would kill it. You need a string made out of nano-carbon or another material harder than diamond.

Think about the possibilities - being able to watch any major speech on the go, watch the major news as it breaks... I'm interested to see how people use this. Mobile broadcasts will become mainstream.

I don't usually say this about YC companies, but I'm not impressed - gaining traction to be flash game epicenters Kongregate, CrazyMonkeyGames, and most of all, Newgrounds, is not something I really envision. Do I really need ANOTHER flash

It makes no sense that "signing up for an account" is reason enough to be looked at by Facebook. You should get reviewed based on qualifications, recommendations, and the people you actually know.

Godspeed. I wish the best for his family and a speedy recovery.

As I just posted on your blog: I'm sorry to be harsh, but you're completely off-base with this rant. "College Education is a Waste of Time" Just like anything else, it's how you utilize that education. I built relationships with VCs, busin

It helps get money, period. I organize things via basecamp and wikis, not by a business plan. Business plans are a VC marketing tool for me.

Good business plans are tough. I was taught at Northwestern by a very successful entrepreneur how to build the presentation, business plan, and financial model. You need to cover the basics. Here's what my last one covered: - Executive Su

I'm a fan of Basecamp by 37 signals (basecamphq.com) - It's good for small and big businesses, file sharing, messages to clients, whiteboards and task lists, etc. Trac is also good because of its integration with subversion and it being ope

Anything that's intellectually stimulating to entrepreneurs and hackers. 99.9% of the people who visit Hacker News are in one or both categories. Problem solving? Ground-breaking tech news? News about YCombinator start-ups? Better devel

Cooliris is the only firefox extension that decided to INSTALL itself onto my start menu when I updated it and still hasn't regained its original support for Facebook. I've uninstalled it.

For your protection, you should always have one - liability can be a bitch. As for a template? Scribd is always a good place to look.

Reasonable to the IRS just means you aren't giving yourself a $300 salary and saying that's payment. Calculate general cost of living and use that number. You can justify that number to the IRS.

I don't do new years resolutions, and it has been my policy since I was a kid. My rationale: if you want to change your life or do something, don't procrastinate - start right then. Putting an arbitrary date on things you want to do never

This is very basic stuff, really. Any blogger would have told you these things, and #1 isn't even true (i.e. sethgodin.typepad.com). No great insight revealed.

Sounds nifty. I actually own a place on the beach in Thailand (technically, I'm a dual citizen of the U.S. and Thailand!); maybe I should stay there for two months and build new business ideas. Maybe I will see you!

You've got a keen insight, whoever you work with is going to be lucky. I'm not a regular reddit user, but you actually proposed interesting thoughts for dating websites....
