We're self-hosted using Mephisto. Why? I like the self-hosted solution because it feels more professional. And I have more control over theme and plugins (it looks exactly like the rest of our site). I went with Mephisto for simplicity (in

How big is the website? I speak conversational German (albeit a couple years out of practice), but wouldn't have time to do this if it's more than a couple pages. If you want a really good dictionary that translates words in context (and al

It really depends on where you are located and what you are doing. Is there a reason you want to incorporate instead of registering as an LLC (i.e. are you going to be seeking investment any time soon)? At the risk of being unpopular (judgi

Definitely learn to cook. You will eat well and spend less. I will often spend $5 to cook a well-rounded meal that feeds me for dinner, lunch, and dinner again... Just try not to get into an unspoken cooking competition with your roommate.

Without knowing the actual nature of your business, it's hard to say. It's difficult for me to comprehend everyone turning you down. In my experience, banks are relatively forgiving and willing to work with you to get your merchant account

I've done this with my first three companies. Just use one of your parent's address for incorporating. Depending on the state, they usually let you specify a street address and a mailing address. Get a P.O. Box and specify that as your mail

I don't think they have that option, but I haven't looked in a couple years. I generally try to stay away from PayPal, because they're not a bank. Their user agreement states that they're not liable or responsible for "lost" funds, and I've

Funding and outside influences aside, writing a business plan is still one of the most important aspects of developing your product. When working on an idea, if my product isn't important enough to warrant a couple days pouring over the mar

As you peeps have pointed out, 400k is ridiculous. I go to an expensive private college, and it's on the order of 120 for 4 years (though it's actually a 5-year school). And if his kids are really entrepreneurial, as he claims, then they'll

If you know your target market (and you should), and you have direct access to them, propose possible names to them and get feedback, while at the same time soliciting them for more name ideas. We struggled with ours for a while. We had sev

2-5 hours a night, but I've only been doing that for the past 4 years. My family members have seen sleep specialists, and according to them, the "people need 8 hours a night" argument is not true for everyone. Different people need differen

I'm the exact same way. I am most productive from about 11pm to 4am. Luckily my 9-5 only requires me to work "just hard enough to not get fired." I'm also still in college, so my college roomies don't mind the music at 3am, as long as it's

I was just thinking the same thing while responding to the bootstrapping thread which seems to have made it to the front page since I left work yesterday, with a ton of comments. I'm right here with you at GMT-5.

We're bootstrapping 100%. My full-time engineering co-op (required for graduation) pays the bills. I also do marketing and web consulting part-time. And sometimes, my band makes decent money as well. Our startup itself, though, is funded by

I work best with distractions. My favorite three distractions are music, people (i.e. going to the coffee shop), and tv, in that order. If I'm coding at home, either the music is cranked or the tv is on. Though, I try to watch uninteresting

Study what you think you will enjoy the most. The vast majority of what you learn in college comes not from classes, but from your friends, networking, and extra-curricular activities. Education is nice, but developing as a person is the re

Oh, and the reason I mentioned Plymouth Township is because it's less than half an hour from Ann Arbor, so you could easily live in Plymouth Township and work in Ann Arbor.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention... when you start building and need a microcontroller, go to whatever company you need one from and ask for a sample piece. Typically all microcontrollers companies will send you 1-5 controllers as "testin

It's difficult for me to recommend a "Hello World" type introduction to electronics and microcontrollers, since I had 4 years of learning it in a university (obviously the budget is quite a bit different). I would say find some hobby you ar

Futurama! That's counts as a sci-fi show, right? It also has sweet tech, like the smell-o-scope. Ooh, and Chappelle's Show. That's a great tech show. The Haters is Time have a time machine, and then there was that episode where Chappelle vi

I wouldn't let something like not wanting to disappoint keep you from pursuing an opportunity that could change your life (I think someone already mentioned opportunity cost). That being said, if you know anyone else you know and trust, and

I really enjoy using Slicehost. You get a whole lot of server for very little money. The trade-off is that unlike many other VPS's you must set up the entire server yourself from scratch through the command line. This can be a little frustr

Of course the obvious solution here is to sort them differently. You don't have to reject anything. Just sort the front page by popularity instead of "hotness" and give a link to recently popular. (on a side note, picking someone else's nos

It sounds to me as though you might want to check out Amazon's Flexible Payment System (FPS). http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=sc_fe_c_1_3435361_1/102-8843924-... It allows, as the name implies, for very flexible payment transactions between y
