> The minor one is that they don't seem to own dropbox.com. I don't know how that didn't get done before settling on the name, but they gotta get that cleared up. Would you prefer them to use a name like droppboxx or drropbox instead?

supposedly business rental areas have drastically cut prices. hackerdojo was looking for office rental space for awesome hacker mayhem and managed to find a space at 40 cents a square foot, or $4000 for a 10,000 square foot space in a down

how about holding them near public transportation? (ie caltrain) There were times I wanted to go, but sometimes they were just a bit too far.

Sometimes monkey patching is good actually. I use Soap4r all the time, and I preferred the debug xml to appear in the console rather than created as a separate file, it was really easy to make a monkey patch that fixed this, without modify

350k hits per day is only 4 req/s. Assuming there are typical peak hours, I'm guessing it could reach 300 req/s during peak hours. Nginx on a crappy 128MB server can deliver around 8000 req/s on a static page. Even if there was zero cach

You could get similar services from a colocation company as well. You could purchase a fully decked 1U server for $2000, then pay $50 a month for colocation (that's what I'm doing).

I think it's just as easy to an app via typical AGI interfaces on Asterisk. (I used Adhearsion) I power my personal phone number off of it and although it doesn't exist in the "Cloud" I've used a similar implementation to power a few hund

For a project 1.5 years ago, I generated all my html via markaby from _why. It really kept my html very very clean, but the downside was that the designer guy didn't understand what the heck was going on so I haven't considered using it si

Nice! This supports the usual war file formats... which most likely means it can support running JRuby/Rails & Clojure/Compojure. The one thing that does is slightly annoying: you can't create threads, no executor pools, etc. You can

You should really look into Nu, the language I mentioned in my parent post. It is a "glue" language for Objective-C and allows you to write code using typical lisp prefix-notation (+ 1 2) or infix (1 + 2). Reason being ObjC is mostly obje

I agree that the "crazy parentheses" might not be the core reason people who hate Lisp hate Lisp, but it certainly doesn't help advocacy for management types. It's definitely knee-jerk, but lots of people make their decisions in a "blink"

Hopefully some of the cooler Lisp dialects like Clojure & Nu will help out a bit. The "crazy parentheses" is usually the core reason people hate lisp, but until they realize its power, it's stupid stuff that prevents them from learning

You might also be shocked at how unsupportive they might be as well. At least my parents didn't support my decision to leave a stable job... YMMV. Sometimes I feel it's almost like the Indian girl trying to escape an arranged marriage.

It might be too early to decide, but if you take the entrepreneurial route, stanford is the better choice given its affinity to the valley. cmu is possibly a better choice for academia if you enjoy paper & proposal writing.
