Hey "Shooter" ... couldn't help but notice your posts seem to filled with "if any one has any ideas how to solve xyz, shoot me an email" type comments, yet your profile lists no contact info.

What the hell are you blabbering about? First of all I don't need any moral directions from strangers on the net. Second of all, your directions are so confusing I don't even think you know what you're talking about. What is spam? Menti

Is your name "Keshav"? Because if it is I got your email and will reply shortly; if not the email is "emailadrian|@|inbox.com" with "emailadrian" together as a term.

Have you tried "relaxing" / marketing on "adult" (not "porn") games like Second Life, or maybe World of Warcraft, or who knows what the cool thing is these days? Lots of people in their 30s and even 40s, just create a character called "Try

Don't fall for this trick! Just because you have no idea how to do those things, don't fall into the trap of assuming that a V.C. does know how to do them / is willing to roll up his sleeves and do the hard work. Most VCs, despite constan

T.V. has a huge narcotic effect and gives you a "hit" of dopamine rush, very hard to get over. Try googling things that help you regulate your dopamine levels so they're more in balance and you'll find anything from t.v. to smoking easier

I really don't get VCs. So many wonderful, LEGIT, LEGAL ventures that would improve life don't get funded, yet they pour (read: waste) this much money into a borderline-illegal piece of junk like this that does nothing but piss off many pe

Yeh, that's the tricky part. Mention huge flaws in the system and everyone folds their arms and nods their heads knowingly, going "Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm." BUT ask for follow through with different behavior, ie, "action", and all of a sudden it'

This was way, way before the Funded came out. And while it would be nice to add my two cents in, (a) the VCs themselves never actually did anything unethical, they just used the EIR as a proxy, so they can always shrug it off like, "It was

Actually most VCs are nowhere near what you would think of as "rich" ... they just have use of fancy offices paid for by the fund, lease a fancy car paid for by their 2-300k saleries, etc. - it's designed to give anybody talking to them the

I can't begin to express how true this article is. I was once a naive, yet optimistic 24 year old who spilled his guts to a reasonably prominent EIR at what was then a top-flight VC firm in the area. I started suspecting something was wro
