What's a "stereotypical coding job"? I didn't know such a thing existed.. Working in a 3 person startup in a loft is very different from Fortune 100 IT dept, different still from writing code in a research lab, or freelancing, or out in t

Option #4 has been working very well for me over the past year. I'm a huge fan of VMWare now. VMWare also lets you take snapshots of your VMs, so that if anything goes wrong, you can revert to an older version.

An "action possibility". In other words, something in the design that lets the user know that you can do something. Once you start to think about affordances, you'll see them everywhere where good design is present. The classic example is

It could easily be transferable to the entertainment business. I'm picturing a bootcamp for authors, or musicians, or screenwriters, etc. Participants would get enough money to do their thing for a few months in exchange for royalties agai

Repeat after me: Trademark != Patent It doesn't matter at all that the phrase was in use before. What matters is that you are offering a service that is similar enough to cause confusion. People could reasonably think that you are associ

Sure, you can just Google for "Delaware registered agent". The first page of results returns plenty that seem to offer their services for $50-$100/year. Many will even do the transfer paperwork for you. The transfer process basically the

I think that the "stuff you can't say" idea is more about opinions. Specifically, opinions that are so crazy and unpopular that you'd be branded a heretic for even suggesting them -- opinions that you couldn't even espouse on the crazies
