While I'd love to make more money from the Wordpress plugins I've worked on, so far I've been content w/ the $10 I've received over the last two years because I did it to gain experience and have fun doing something I enjoy. Fortunately, I

From Facebook TOS Section 4.7 (5/1/2009) You will not transfer your account to anyone without first getting our written permission. http://www.facebook.com/terms.php Good luck with that.

If by "a few minutes" you mean 35, then sure. And I'll probably be doing the same thing I don't want it for the SEO, but if nothing else having the name is convenient for telling new "friends" how to find me on the most ubiquitous social n

I've used this script and it's saved me a lot of work. It reduces the time setting up DNS from 30 minutes (give or take depending on how many CNAMEs, A records, and MX records you need) to about 10 seconds.

Technically, Twitter says you keep the right to your words. If you wanted to give up the rights to your words, you could use something like tweetCC ( http://tweetcc.com/ ) to apply a Creative Commons license to your tweets.

You can gain quite a lot. If you want a partner beside you to learn from and grow closer to, it can be a great thing. If you want children to love and raise and educate, marriage can be awesome. Those are two reasons I look forward to ma

GeoCities was my first site. Being given a chance to play with HTML (4.0 was still cutting edge) is what drew me into the tech world and led to the career I now have. I'm sad to see it go, but it's function has been replaced by numerous ot

Digg did a blog post yesterday explaining all the steps they took to give the page juice to the content and not to their URL, so it shouldn't hurt the content-site's SEO (using rel=canonical, et cetera). http://blog.digg.com/?p=636

Whether you moved forward with the idea or abandoned it, I'd love to hear some of your thoughts and reasoning (rather than a plethora of yes/no responses). What have you learned?

The higher the rating, the more of a douchebag they are. Plus, from what I know about the project it's not something they're trying to make money on -- they're having fun. There's an article about the creators on Seattle 2.0 - http://www.

Yes, definitely. Hacker News is worth more than $5/year to me with the amount of time I spend on it and it'd be worth it if it keeps users more reasonable.

Why would somebody give away 5% of a company when they can pay ~$175 at a site like 99designs for a design? Granted, you get what you pay for, but 5% is a massive overpayment even for "sweat equity."

Ask friends. If you don't have friends in the local tech community, find out what tech groups there are in your area and visit them. I don't know about New York, but in Seattle there are dozens focused on every aspect of technology you ca

I picked a good day to start using Git and Github. Literally just signed up today. TortoiseSVN has always treated me well and getting similar functionality with git repositories will be fantastic.
