Buffett inspires me...the rest turn my stomach.

<PEDANTIC> Important news and appropriate for HN, but the use of the word "drops" in the title is a poor word choice as it suggests that the IPO did NOT occur. If you're talking about the 'release' of a new hip-hip album, the word

Very unlikely, but I know three people that have won. One of our neighbors won over $200 million in a tri-state lottery. They were very nice, sociable people before their win. Everyone liked them. After? Well, they built a HUGE 'modern' h

This was a great tool, but with DNA it is absolutely awesome. Audio processing/production is what got me into programming originally.

Nevada also screams shady, and all of the supposed benefits of Nevada (no data share with IRS, etc.) are BS anyway. US startups should always form their business structures in either their home state or Delaware.

NO! Do NOT incorporate in another country if you are a US citizen if your only reason for doing so is to to save on taxes. All foreign-derived income is taxable if you are a US citizen (with VERY few, VERY specific exceptions), so incorpor

I've hired UMUC online grads before (not from the CIS program, but other subjects), and I would agree its a strong school. I was actually going to recommend it, as well, but the OP seemed to want a CS program. I think there are several o

I know University of Illinois at Springfield has an online CS program. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is a great school for CS with an impressive history of startup founders (Netscape, YouTube, Firefox, Oracle, Siebel, AMD, Lotu

I like Mr. Bean...and Herman was okay in the Cheech and Chong movie, at least. I think they should use Emperor Palpatine...oh, wait, they're using Cheney? Nevermind.

I'd rather have a few good books and "tons and tons" of quality libraries. I also think that having a choice among frameworks is a good thing.

I prefer Python to Ruby, but language choice is another topic entirely. There are a number of web frameworks for Python that are AT LEAST as useful as Rails, including Django and Pylons. In some ways, I think Django might be better for the

Yeah, fixed. I was one of the people that thought the email address I put in the YC.News profile resulted in a visible link.

I funded a couple guys that wanted to do something like this a few years ago...but they completely dropped the ball because they were really only interested in the tech challenges instead of the creative and business aspects. (They basical

Thanks for taking the time to share this info...I didn't even realize he had anything to do with the Bloomberg book. Litman's "Conversations with Millionaires" book was pimped out by a bunch of people I think are pretty shady, so I had avoi

There are thousands of extremely talented developers around the world that will work for much less than US salaries. I think every company should at least consider outsourcing as an option, especially if you are working on a "one zebra str

Nice feature, but you need to explain what it is on the homepage.

I think the MAJORITY of homeless people are mentally ill. I live in a suburb of Chicago, and I run into quite a few homeless people around our shopping districts and public transportation. I usually strike conversations up with them - which

I was mostly kidding...but not entirely. I've been a lurker on c.l.l. for years and I've also seen quite a few interesting threads derailed by Kenny's...uh...UNIQUE sense of humor. The megalomania thing wears a bit thin, for example. I kn

Kenny hinted that he will stop posting to c.l.l. (or at least cut down on his post frequency) now that he is blogging. If that is true, then "Weeny" just became my absolute favorite blog of all time ;-)

Wow, I earned a minor rant ;-) Apparently, I should not have been so terse...I was really saying I think the app is neat. LESS TERSE VERSION: I actually see value in this idea because it is something I've already been using for 5-6 years in

You would think that just asking your potential users what they want is best, but then you have to worry about self-report errors. As has been noted. (Customers lie. To you and themselves. Accept it.) I'm fairly stupid and I don't possess

I've had a subscription to Inc. for 10-12 years. I can attribute a great deal of time/money savings to things I've learned or found out about in Inc., especially regarding general management and HR issues. I consider it a solid investment.
