Though postgresql is much easier than mysql currently (for windows installations). There's all kinds of "gotchas" on windows if you're installing mysql. For example, the normal mysql 5.1 on windows doesn't have innodb, so if you choose "t

I think you'll bump into more startup buddies in Mountain View than in Palo Alto. Just visit any coffee shop in Mountain View and you'll see -- they all look like computer labs. There might be more funded startups in Palo Alto though.

I used Xen because I know it well. I'm sure it would probably work with VirtualBox or dozens of other virtualization platforms.

I cook everything with fresh ingredients and I'm still able to eat decently. I usually either cook a form of soup noodles with 1 veggie & meat for around $2.50 or a form of spinach/fish/tomato/mushroom risotto for around $3.00 a meal.

Coming from a "poor" entrepreneur who has previously held six-figure software engineer salaries, I can say there's more to entrepreneurship than salary. When I busted my ass working overtime to add cool new features, nobody cared. The com

For the really cheap solution, you can just get a mini-itx atom board, mini-itx case, and a few external usb enclosures for the hard drives. It's what I have at home, running opensolaris on Xen. I mapped the usb drives natively to opensol

Couldn't you just emulate multi-key with tokyo cabinet? You'd just have to write the code to union sets of data... it's what databases do anyway.

There are quite a few poor families making a living in the Bay Area that happen to have other mouths to feed too. If you want more data points, come visit my neighbors and ask them how they do it. The cost of living here is not as bad as

Their idea reminded me of Paul Graham's initial idea of selling art over the internet (before Viaweb). The only difference with Paul's idea and theirs involved the partial ownership bit.

There's no reason 2 guys need a nice office in a good location. They were a pure internet company doing something like group-buys for fine art. Chances are the expenses might be something they couldn't reduce like warehouse space, escrow,

The 0.7 version isn't too bad. I give it to people who want to learn ruby but don't want to buy a book. There's a simple interactive learning tool that is useful if you've never programmed in your life before.

Sam didn't review http://hackerdojo.pbwiki.com yet! It's approximately 500 feet from the main YC offices and set to debut in a few weeks at $100/month membership -- how could anyone not turn it down?

I owned one of these when I lived in a studio in Avalon Apartments in SF. They're not very good at drying though (or at least my model didn't work so well).

Advertisers can soon target their ads based on types of cars & ages of drivers. For the most part, billboards are old tech that needs innovation. I would be surprised if Google added something as basic as time slicing for billboard ads

The fastest way for me to code is to unplug from the internet completely. Get all your necessary documentation available in offline documents so that when you code, you don't get distracted by Hacker News :-). Plus, your memory tends to im

There are firefox extensions that turn it into a normal entry box, although personally I love the awesome bar. I can't switch to any other browser now because I hate having to type out the whole url all the time. I can just type "hac" in

not for an acquisition offer... so if your startup makes $2 a month, would you let someone buy you out for $48? What if your startup is losing money, is $1 a fair offer?

We're bringing the experience of shopping malls and facebook apps to online stores. Basically, we're trying to make shopping fun and enjoyable rather than the typical errand-driven process that its been for the past 7-8 years.

find me on irc at #startups and I'll explain :-) Well I guess the cool part is that the summer YC session hasn't actually begun, so you'd get the experience the full YC session without having to go through the typical application process.

We're also looking for corporate sponsorship, so if anyone knows a good person at your company whom I can contact, please send them my way! It's a community effort and I think there's enough hackers in the Bay Area to make this into a reali
