It seems like there is a market opportunity here for anyone motivated enough to take on the old guard in this industry. It's not the most glamorous subject, but there is a lot of money sitting on the table. If someone applied to YC with som

Just looked over the source. This package is unkempt and extremely hairy in some places. I'd advise using Occam's razor over the whole thing, or at least running trim and tidy on the main parts.

I must be getting old, but this post strikes me as silly to the point of seeming like a troll. If any hiring managers are seriously discarding candidates that don't use github, well, I think the market will ultimately dictate the utility of

Is there a way to create new directories inside of a project? My apologies if I missed it, but I couldn't find one. A nice feature would be the ability to upload a zip file and have it unzipped on the server side with all the files added au

This looks promising. I found a small issue off the bat - when I created a new guestbook app and then previewed it, I received the following error: TemplateSyntaxError at / Caught TemplateDoesNotExist while rendering: base.html I went back

I don't know why but this issue really irks me. The hypocrisy on this is off the charts. Gambling is legal in our country - the WTO has made that legal judgment ( http://www.ibet.pro/2007/08/25/us-government-ignores-wto-rul... ). Our action

Ok so your very first job (out of the Army) was paying you 47K? Is that correct? So beyond that single company, do you have any other criteria for the title of your post "why does everyone else keep gettin' 40-60k offers?" I expect that if

Omni Group is one of the original (and best) NeXT/Openstep shops still around. I worked with them back in the late nineties and they were a very interesting crew - brilliant, cult-like, fun-loving, hardcore coders. Congrats to Omni!

From my earlier post : "the entire market where this person lives is down 50% from the time they took out the mortgage". The building they are in was built in late 2005 in downtown San Diego. It doesn't take an appraisal to know that it's u

It makes sense because the borrower has gone from having a positive net worth to a negative net worth due to the mortgage being underwater. When they took out the mortgage, they were debt-free and had a mortgage equal to the value of their

I understand what "being underwater" means - thanks though. The facts are that the credit card companies don't need to do an appraisal - the entire market where this person lives is down 50% from the time they took out the mortgage. The per

The funny thing is that folks who are deeply underwater on their mortgages are _already_ screwed with regards to credit - even if they have a good credit history and are up to date on all payments. I know someone who has high 700s credit sc

I wear a pair of Gunnar Optiks to help reduce eye strain ( http://www.gunnars.com/ ). They have a slight magnification and anti-glare which do seem to have a positive effect. Plus when I have them on I feel like I am in "work mode".

This is my favorite pg essay of all time! Very true and very funny (in a dry sort of way).

The theorem lacks a certain aesthetic beauty. Apply Occam's Razor to create a smoother, more palatable package.

Interesting to note that online sports betting will remain illegal under this bill due to intense lobbying by the NFL. "Good handicappers can win against the house in sports betting, but it is impossible for anyone to win in the long run on

I installed the plugin for wordpress, but it seems like the links it generates are redirecting incorrectly. Try http://www.tellmypolitician.com/search/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.g... - for me it redirects to http://tellmypolitician.comsearch/
