Getting Real is still sold as a physical book through self publishing marketplace Lulu. Print on demand publishing is really easy and the value people place on having a hard copy makes it worth looking into as an extra sales channel. I co-a

Great! Especially like being able to buy a gift card to get a discount on a purchase I was going to make anyway.

Problems faced by the denizens of this site are more likely to be well-served by what already exists. Try asking people in industries that rarely interface with the tech world. That's where you find the big, underserved problems.

Principles? Ideals? Ideology? There's much more to decision making than peoples' immediate material interests.

Keep in mind that free isn't necessarily a great selling point when marketing business software. Business owners are often reassured by a fee and a contract.

I recommend reading Christopher Buckley's Steaming to Bambula - though things have changed since then. ( http://www.amazon.com/Steaming-Bamboola-World-Tramp-Freighte... )

And for good writing in general, read Orwell's Politics and the English Language. 1. Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. 2. Never us a long word where a short one will do. 3. If it

Good idea. Consider offering it to organisations that have mentoring programmes. My old university has an alumni mentoring scheme, but the web app that does the matching is so broken that not many people use it.

Not only for Windows systems. It can be used for exploits against any OS. And it's used in exploit development as well as execution.

Energy costs may be predictable, but bandwidth costs are potentially volatile due to lack of competition.

A disposable email address would do the job. Also, a source might want to know who they're dealing with.

"Middle men exist to reduce the cost of getting a product from A to B" This isn't the whole story. Good middle men also add value in any number of ways (editorialising, structuring relationships, adding trust). Disintermediation isn't alw

Thank you. War remains an ugly part of life. As it becomes increasingly remote for the majority of the West's inhabitants it is especially important to honour those who have sacrificed and those who continue to make sacrifices on our behalf

It's a big task, but so far Saul, Reshma, et. al. have done an amazing job of approaching that goal. When we participated in SC week we got over 10 hours' mentoring from entrepreneurs, VCs, angels, marketing people from all over Europe and

There's a port for Ruby, Rubyful Soup http://www.crummy.com/software/RubyfulSoup/ Apparently it's slower, though. I've only used the python version, which works very well if you use it with the old SGMLParser.

True, it's a question of trust. Also depends on how well you know the person in question, and how confident you are that the intro would be worthwhile.

Less efficient. Sending the intro and letting recipients ignore it is much quicker, instead of going through those 3 steps (compose two emails, wait for responses, compose introduction).

This could be a reference to the (possibly apocryphal) anecdote that Milton Friedman was told that "we have no poverty in Sweden." To which he responded "that's interesting. We have no poverty among Swedish-Americans either."

Yes. It also makes more sense to start off with Founder, because it can be hard to predict what role you'll end up in (with growth, raising capital, etc.)

Preserving a language requires a very proactive approach. In Iceland (Icelandic is spoken by not much more than 350,000 people) there is a committee tasked with ensuring that new words are formed for new items, ideas or concepts. In Iceland

We're going after a lucrative niche opportunity that requires significant industry specific knowledge (apparel industry in this case). I've seen plenty of niche/vertical opportunities like this - mainly because I enjoy interrogating people
