Wow. This article seems to be able to be boiled down to, "Because people are fed up with poor pay or being overburdened in traditional 9-5 jobs, they are trying to get more freedom and happiness. And this is just RUINING all our bad busines

I've seen this letter reprinted everywhere and every time I see it, it irks the hell out of me. He throws around a lot of gravitas and some big numbers and then goes, "Oh poor me, these taxes are crushing me." without providing any real obj

When I could simply offload to a drive and then throw that dive into storage? Sure it is.

There's no reason to lose data. Space is cheap.

I fully support this idea and infact, I am already wondering how you'd go about implementing it. I've been bitten by this before and didn't have sufficient backups.

I'd so love to try Xobni, but, I am not forking out $110 for Outlook 2k7 for the privilege of doing so. :/

I'm one of those people who thrives in an urban environment. I have more energy, I feel like doing more things and I get a lot more extroverted. There's something about the hum of the traffic, the lights, the people.. it just gets me going,

Don't you know? It's okay when THEY do it. Just not when YOU do it.

Hasn't this ALWAYS been the case? It's just that every now and then, heads slowly sink up asses and caution is thrown to the wind. It's never a bad time if you really DO have a good idea.

The problem here seems to be, from how I see it, that the author doesn't like the fact that someone can take the data that they can access and port it somewhere else. All the whole thing with facebook scavenger is just disturbing. What if I

I should point out to you that for myself and probably for a few others at least, we don't much care about the rankings. We care about the tips!

I don't like it. Case in point, I have "$168" in my tipjoy from people who have "promised". But only $11 has actually been followed through on. But if you look up the public information, what does it say? $168. It'd be very easy to make it

They're simply making use of "community resources" ;)

This sounds like a person who has never uttered a shameful giggle after hearing someone rip a loud one in an unacceptable circumstance or something.

So most of the population then. You can't avoid stupidity.

Maybe that's because, from what I see, very few startups are EVER profitable. They just get pumped and dumped.

This really should be a per-whiteboard, not "x amount of people".

Screw scribd. Give me something that converts pdfs into straight (x)html, and I will be happy.

I'm sorry. "less than $100,000" = bootstrapped?

So it uses twitters notoriously unreliable 'reply-to' system? In which I can reply to a tweet, but if that person happens to send a second tweet whilst I am typing my reply, I end up replying to THAT one instead? Also, haha. I am not giving

And here I thought it'd be about news. But no, movie reviews. Give me a news API and then we'll talk, NYTimes.

Stealing does NOT always have a price. And using shrinkage is a fallacious argument. Physical goods in store have an actual production cost. What's the cost of dragging and dropping a file to make a copy of it? A few cents for your time, ma
