There seems to be an assumption that idea guy == business guy. Also that idea guy has no knowledge or understanding of anything technical. And that somehow idea guy is always trying to scam you. I think ideas are a skill just like anything

Getting rid of a key in my pocket would be a big win. Once the lock can be controlled via the Internet, it would enable things like location sensing (so my door would unlock for me, or whatever) I would love this to replace my Volvo key.

A few points: I just replaced a HD in an iMac and saw that sensor cable. What do you think the chance is that I put it back in the right spot (on the new, different drive)? The failure mode for a temp controlled fan should always be full on

Sounds like you've developed a great system/process here. Are you a developer or QA? Are there two groups or even just a person with testing as their responsibility? Have you ever had people mark tests @flaky just so they could deploy (and

I had Dell's 24x7x365 4 hour, on-site service contract for a rack of 16 identical 1U servers. "4 hours" was for them to respond to my call (phone or email, I can't remember). Their response was not showing up on-site with the part, but as

His MB is limited to 2GB. I was in this situation and was able to put off an upgrade for a while with an SSD. I also moved the SSD to the new machine, so it was/is a good investment. Swapping wasn't even too painful with the SSD. Highly r

Why would you assume Palm is worse off because of this?

This is one of the few cases where I think making a law would be a good thing. It sucks that things like closed-captioning have to be forced, but it seems they rarely happen naturally. Maybe because everyone knows the law is coming, so why

I love PPK's new writing style. Most of the comments so far seem to be arguing a few specific details; I think that misses the point. PPK is arguing (in an over-the-top way, which makes it more fun to read) that convergence sooner rather th

I used oDesk and found that because it is a corporation, I don't need to send them a 1099. And, because all the people work for you through the company, you don't have to do anything special.

I am doing a SAAS and not for developers. I'm not sure how it came across that way?

This is a big part of the reason I'm doing a startup. I worked for a company pre-IPO (back on the good 'ol days) and saw very little actual cash. I'm paying for the sins of others now: I have heard nothing but snickers or outright laughter

I'm not sure wasting a year of my life is really the right solution to this problem. Or, any of the other "solutions." My wife falls into this category. First (years ago), she just worked as a consultant via her sole proprietorship. Then, s

I'm also single founder. I've spent quite a bit of time looking for a co-founder and would like a co-founder, but at this point, I figure I just need to ship something and worry about it later.

Maybe it just got added? Because I was able to just click on the headings for Price and Performance to sort.

I did QA for years (8+) and would love to have developers write a test. Specifically NOT unit tests, but the harder more interesting one. I think it happened once. Or, was it twice?

How about remote mounting a filesystem using sshfs. I have found this is a big problem on SL. The MacFUSE beta allows it to work at all, but performance can be terrible. I'm trying ExpandDrive now, but it's $49 and performance could still b

Complexity costs. It costs money and it costs downtime. Look at Google: they have redundant everything, super-smart people, super good operations and still have some downtime.

I've found openID to be far more painful. I decided that I just can't risk making my Google account more powerful in case it gets suspended (for whatever reason, valid or not). So, what a pain to research how to make it work, what implicati

This is the first I have heard of either Chef or Puppet. They both look interesting, but I can't tell how mature they are. Anyone care to expand?

One reason I buy my video "content" from iTunes is because it saves me the time of removing the forced previews and endless publisher logos and FBI warnings.

I'm a paying GitHub customer and having big projects like Ruby on Rails and Perl hosted there makes me very comfortable. I figure if they can handle the big stuff, they can handle me! Plus, I use as much free software as everyone else and a

Is this actually possible for regular people? If someone, for example, was fed up with the US, where could they go? You hear the idea of getting out if you don't like it often. But, I think it's BS. Does anyone have facts that dispute my as
