SQL injection? Password cracking? That's not how they do it! They have a long straw that reaches across the Internets and start drinking your milkshake. THEY DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!

Would Google Summer of Code count? I participated in the first one with Mambo/Joomla, but was fairly disappointed.

Think about whipping up a quick Facebook app and getting a free Facebook accelerator from Joyent. They are free for an year and you can host other stuff on it. Wicked fast and run on Solaris (which can be a bitch in the beginning if you are

I have no artistic talent whatsoever, but now that I've learned to use grids I can churn pretty reasonable designs. Here's a good intro: http://www.subtraction.com/pics/0703/grids_are_good.pdf

I tried to write an infinite loop in C, but couldn't remember what I had to include. FAIL.

http://everydns.net Great track record (total of 1 hour of downtime due to DDoS for past 4 years). Nice features. Free, but don't forget to donate.

If it's your company blog, it's a good idea not to host it on your servers, because if your site goes down you'd lose communication with customers.

Most of the "Ask YC" questions get answers the asker did not expect, so a poll would do no good.

I don't know where you shop if you get 8GHz processors, but usually your internet connection will be the limiting factor. In my neighborhood LAN we had a 800 Mhz desktop PC with 256MB RAM and 1GB HDD (!). It ran a Half-Life Dedicated Server

Personally I've never been able to really combine work with startups. You are single-threaded, so to speak, so doing things sequentially (work -> quit -> start company) works better than multi-tasking. Plus, staying on the job gives

1) If you make something (i.e., a software development tool) that does everything, it will do it really badly. That's unlikely to change soon, if ever. 2) When you put the invisible hand at work, if developing software of type X becomes too

Adobe is rather smart to use the traction behind Flash to take on Microsoft, but it's not that easy. I don't know if many of you have tried .NET, but it's quite a powerful and well-designed platform (surprising for Microsoft). It also has t

Both in science and in the industry things tend to progress in stages. It's very easy to sell an idea that advances one step ahead, but it's quite hard to make people buy your idea if you try to take a few steps with a single leap. That's w

The main reason there are so many look-alike startups is that they keep getting funded. Several possible explanations that would explain the phenomenon: 1) Investors are hoping that the first company to do something will not always be the m

what about print css, phones, etc, etc.? what about using html as a data feed (e.g., for your JS, microformats, etc.)? BluePrint is clearly written by and for designers, rather than IAs.

yeah, it's quite a fun book. i read it before last investor day. the only part i didn't like was the Lycos story. basically, a guy gets a call from a VC: "hey, we've got the idea, the technology, and the funding. can you please run the comp
