You sure got a lot of coverage and link love really quickly for a fairly simple idea. I'm curious how you accomplished that.

Maybe just to be devils advocate, but: 1) It sounds like the CEO did in fact build a company that could go public and result in a cash-out for you, putting some of the cash you felt you deserved as a founder to good use and returning it to

It also hopefully will not require 220+ and counting years of jurisprudence for its true meaning to be divined.

This is the craigslist logic. Sticky sites can convince themselves they can do no wrong because really they can't. Users would need a really strong reason to leave in droves (friendster). Even spam comments would not lose users quickly u

I agree with the problem description, but the solution is terrible. It adds unpredictability to the interface, which is worse than simple badness. I'd suggest having new alternative to Alt-Tab that has static positions (reorderable for th

The original article is quite clear. The common practice of paraphrasing source documents just to generate content without linking to the source is deeply irritating. I present Hawking himself for those who don't think some intern at CNet

Nobody starts a company to target a market with the goal of being replaceable. Let's say you were going to sell cars. Should you publish all your designs and manufacturing techniques so that the marketplace is "fair"?

Signing a credit card receipt is not for signature verification. You are signing a contract that you agree to pay under the terms of your card agreement. Therefore, it doesn't matter how you sign as long as it was you. If you sign a mult

This may have been slipped in as a precursor to instituting a VAT.

The only people I know defending Adobe and Flash are Flash developers and Adobe itself. Everybody else tolerates Flash begrudgingly. I miss a few flash games here and there on my iPhone. Beyond that, good riddance. Flash is the RealPlayer

I don't see how you would have an expectation of that data being private when you put it on facebook. The whole point of facebook is to publish your identity, and you are a fool if you think somehow what you post to your friends will never

Privacy is dead, and I (and most people) have very little to hide. What I do have to hide can be under pseudonyms. Besides, I think Fb is doing a reasonable job allowing people to control their privacy settings. Most people don't mind bei

The Chinese have a way of handling uncomfortable posts. They make them visible to the poster, but invisible to everyone else. That way, the poster thinks no one is interested, and hopefully goes away. Since most people won't even know th

The 'with' syntax, which only allows execution of code on entrance and exit - no nearly as flexible as Ruby blocks. (I'm not a Python hater, but I do like Ruby blocks.)

The problem with these kinds of organic ideas: startup geeks and developers are all similar. There are so many developer tools, social tools, project management systems, freelance and small business accounting systems, and all the other th

Not that Python needs more web frameworks ( http://wiki.python.org/moin/WebFrameworks ), but it's good to see Python use its new poor-man's equivalent to Ruby's block syntax.

A bit late on this comment, but to reply to you all, I'm not saying Perforce is insecure, just that it's not more secure. And yes, stupidity/ignorance/laziness are the root causes of most hacks.

After some experience outsourcing through RAC, I've concluded that paying more for local developers and designers who buy into and understand your product and business model, speak the same language, and share your culture, is often worth i

I'm much happier with real mutually respectful relationships - the kind you can't establish by acting like a politician. I find every time I play these flattery games with long term relationships, it keeps things rolling, but leaves a deep

This book is filled with great anecdotes and effective strategies. I've used a lot of them, however there are some downsides. 1) By constantly making people feel good about themselves, you create a sense of entitlement and pride which can

My favorite cheap PHP host is Bluehost. I like everything about them except that they ask for passwords over the phone, and mention that every time I talk to them. Not only is a secure password a pain to say over the phone ("amersand back
