Windows 7 is pretty good in my opinion. I only run a linux box right now, but when I need Office/Photoshop/Games, I'm much more likely to go with Windows than Mac. What's wrong with windows as of Windows 7? As far as I can see, not very m

I didn't know of his background, so I googled. He learnt to code while he was working a job and his first startup came later? Anyway, he doesn't seem to have done much of interest before his first startup. The question rephrased: Show me a

Hackers can be great at running a business with a bit of effort. Ex: Google founders. Now show me one "product guy" who's coded and launched a million-dollar site/app. Both sides view the other as replaceable, only one is right.

That seems to be a very small niche. Ex: - shopping sites that have a significantly higher demand during holiday season - tax filing type websites that see a huge demand during a certain day/week of the year

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that the vast majority of websites have nothing to gain from going the cloud way. Couldn't find any high traffic websites that are hosted on dedicated hardware to make a comparison though, h

Considering that most of the technology on a missile is general use (the rockets, fuel, electronics) and not only for weapons, yes I am indeed proud that my country has the capability to R&D and create such equipment without outside hel

We've had the capability to nuke Pakistan into oblivion for a long time now! This development does not affect them at all. Also, the AGNI V is just a missile - the warhead need not be nuclear.

This move is currently getting HA-HA'ed here on HN but it's a fairly decent move. Some people have no choice but to use flash (mostly game-makers). Some of them, like Zynga rake in big money. Adobe looks like they might get a piece of tha

Some stuff I know: Django is great for learning very fast. It has all the documentation in one place. There's generally one way to do any one thing with Django. Pyramid is super flexible because it's not much of a framework to begin with. T
