   I am curious: What is the right protocol about telling that you were able to locate an egregious security flaw on a public server? Should I go ahead and tell the company? And possibly get sued anyway? Do I have a right to show it to my frie

   Maybe but it wasn't clear from the post. I think a good take away is that entrepreneurs have to relate to other people when they pitch.

   "One thing Singaporeans love to talk about is FOOD and I made sure our conversation was filled with that." Isn't your company called LOVE WITH FOOD? Aren't you supposed to talk about food regardless?

   As a person born in USSR Russia and currently living in Uzbekistan, I can confirm that college entrance system didn't change much in Uzbekistan: 1. You are allowed to apply to 1 state-sponsored university only. If you don't get in, you're S

   You can always use a second one on your left arm to turn the camera around. That's how joystick solved that problem :)

   I have a feeling you mean drug lords or cartel or drug dealers when you say narc. However, narc is actually a good guy, ie a cop or federal agent enforcing the drug laws.

    It only works if the account had a credit card on file and/or made purchases in the past. Unless you know the credit card number or the purchase ticket number, this link isn't much help. Can't believe Skype has been ignoring this issue up u

    I bought jump when it was only $7.99. It worked like magic and I never opened SplashTop since. For anyone reading this, this app is amazing and works both on iPad and iPhone. Since you can get it for free from the developer, then you can't

    Thanks for putting up the application. I could clearly see how you guys aren't afraid to "break some laws" i.e. data scrapping, getting free food, and even weed selling!

    Western Union (Business Services) employee here. I disagree with the author on many levels: 1. Government regulations. Wire transfer industry is a HIGHLY regulated industry. There is no way BitCoin will be able to operate without complying

    I wouldn't suggest creating an LLC. I think it's a standard practice to incorporate all Y-Comb companies.

    Honestly, Groupon should have taken Google's deal. It seems that the main expense that's killing Groupon is customer acquisition cost. So Groupon needs to be integrated in the business that has zero (well, almost zero) acquisition costs a

    The name is hilarious. Probably the only reason I checked out the website. Starting to think that it was done intentionally.

    I love LAL team. I was one of the active admins at my school. I flew to Cali for a week and Evan let me stay at their place for a week. These guys sleep like for 3 or 4 hours and code for the rest of the time. Amazing company :)

    Yes. I agree that we need to hide some comments that really don't add any value. On the side note, I got more votes right now than ever before. Go figure how people think about voting o_O

    I personally do not like the fact that the voting process is being hidden. I hope PG will take it away soon. These are my reasons: 1. From my experience, I stopped voting because I am not being educated on the fact that we need to vote (wel
