Agreed, and corrected. Sorry to draw with a broad brush, these are late night ramblings of my very subjective observations. I have not lived in all of Europe to know local laws. Would actually be curious how this problem (dog poo) is handle

I wonder why you call it "$45k free yearly income", since you would have pissed 20 years of your life away. Not exactly "free".

Diesels are great engines, but hard to come by in the US. In Europe the majority of cars, from small ones to big limousines have Diesel engines these days. The most vexing problem, particulate emissions, has been solved with particulate fil

I'm not sure if you'll read this, since it's been so long, but here goes. Depending on what you plan to do, if you want to be 'standards compliant', I'd look into SIP, and it's IM extension called SIMPLE. What's interesting here is, that th

I find this behavior quite appalling. Not giving credit is not only dishonest, but shows complete lack of character. The fact that Chris Hughes runs his blog under spazout.com is just another sign of his moral stance. Edit: to clarify why I

Considering that Google basically reinvented SIP using Jabber, I think calling it NIH syndrome is more then fair. Google needed a robust and open IM protocol, which SIP wasn't in 2004/5. So they picked Jabber/XMPP and then bolted media sign

I've used both, and like Tomato better. It has a nicer AJAX based UI, SVG bandwidth graphs, and is pretty well layed out. Lot's of nifty attention to detail in the UI, e.g. wireless network neighborhood to find unoccupied channels. Have bee

A visa type that is quite similar to what you propose does exist. It's the E-2 "entrepreneur" or "Treaty Investor" visa ( http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1273.html ). I've gone through the process, and despite it being a lot o

An E-2 visa is not contingent on $100k, the money invested just has to be sufficient for the type of business to be established. So for a software startup, it can be on the order of ~$20-30k. You'll have to write a business plan, and submit

Could you add the option to use the Shift key to select rows and columns, in addition to the mouse? In other words, using the cursor keys without Shift moves blocks, while pressing Shift moves a sort of 'cursor' (colored border?) to select

I've seen some reasonable SF lawyers on CL. You should vet whoever you work with well, since you might be working with them for a long time. Also, consider an S corp election initially, which has tax advantages. Some lawyers will try to kee

Before talking about your idea to others, consider applying for a patent, if this is a feasible option (e.g. business process patent). Then it could eventually be better protected, and pose a barrier to entry for competitors. Make sure to o

Adrafinil has worse side effects then Modafinil (liver toxicity), I would not recommend using it. To try out Modafinil, talk to your doctor about a prescription.
