    Craigslist started with a lot of word of mouth marketing. It was the de facto classifieds site in the Bay Area before it opened for other cities. It started as and still is essentially a not-for-profit. On a side note, Craigslist is hardly

    A basic issue with this is that people love doing many different things (and are curious to try new stuff all the time), so there is little time to get particularly good at them. It's hard to make money from things you are not good at.

    Over the last 4 years you've gained more than SAP-specific knowledge. You've developed a process, or methodology, for solving problems. This is very important, and smart employers will recognize it. Also, use your spare time to code in one

    I'm thinking it would be the easiest to do this via DOM manipulation. Sequentially set visibility: hidden to all elements except one, take screenshot, continue on to the next one. Not the most elegant solution, but it's quick and you don't

    So a person would accidentally take a photo of a sniper, upload it on the internet for PhotoSynth to build a panorama out of, the Secret Service will then look at the panorama, spot the sniper, and take care of it. All of that will happen i

    A new SICP post makes the rounds at News.YC every week or so. As an experienced programmer (10 years, using functional languages, etc.), do I really need to read it?
