Nolo books are great. But your suggestion that he download copyrighted LEGAL ADVICE books from eMule? That's ALMOST funny. You should check out their Criminal Law Handbook, rms...the ebook is only $29.99 ;-)

I used Hypercard very briefly before moving on to MetaCard, which was more powerful, cross-platform, and had better color and multimedia support. I built a bunch of monster stacks in MetaCard, including a complete ERP system for a 350 pers

Free advice is worth exactly what it costs :-) Everyone tends to "summarize" the benefits and downsides of various entities, without making you aware of specific things that can trip you up. This is partly because it is impossible for an

Yes, I've considered both. In fact, that's what we have always gotten away with in the past. Unfortunately, part of this project is tying into a bank's existing infrastructure. And because of the sensitive nature of the 'components' we a

I've never used GoDaddy's "negotiation" services, but I have used them to "backorder" a domain. If the current owner lets anything lapse, you have a chance of getting the domain. It rarely works out, but I have gotten a few good domains t

The last time I tried Sedo they had a minimum transaction amount. And just their FEE on that minimum transaction amount was more than I was willing to pay for the actual domain I was interested in! I've never seen anything I would consider

You can look at various services to get a very rough guesstimate at how much traffic the domain gets...Alexa, Comscore, etc. You can also check the number of backlinks, etc. That's basically all the domainers do. Ultimately, you just hav

I was quoted $275,000 for a domain last January. It's a very good name in a competitive market (mortgages.) I say, "Oh? Well, gee, I only had $1000 budgeted." They said "We're willing to negotiate." They offered it for $100K...then a

Two other thoughts based on a quick glance at your site: 1. "shortcomings" has one 'm' (About PikLuk) 2. Testimonials from guys names "Joe Bob" sound fake ;-) Just 'Joe Larson' might be better. Similarly, if you can only use the first
