   FSCK or ARGH would be funny symbols. Honestly, I wouldn't care much about what it was called at that point. My eyes would be big glazed-over dollar-signs.

   The key word in Sterling's quote is 'dependence'. I can use these services without becoming dependent on them. They're useful, so is whatever I'm reading while I'm on the can. I don't know, maybe it means more to all those motivational

   A big shot marketing guy at my day job (large company) started promoting Yammer as a "great way to share ideas and information". But, no proprietary or internal only communications please, since its on offsite servers. WTF?

   Why not just use nginx for everything, like http://www.rkblog.rk.edu.pl/w/p/hosting-django-under-nginx-s... ?

    I think whether these web apps run on my desktop, or sync/migrate to a virtual instance, should be completely transparent to me as a user. I assume a virtual instance would be necessary to keep continuity when accessing through mobile devi

    I'd like to see malls in the US become more like those in Singapore. Supermarkets, fresh fruit stands, top-notch restaurants and amazing food courts. A reflexology clinic here & there would be nice too :) Of course, malls in Singapore

    I really like this idea. I want something like this to really take off. I've thought about decentralized services like this, but you've gone and done it! Some ideas I've had in the past: * Use the cloud against itself, as a cheap unreliab

    Back when I went to school (mid-90s), our computer lab was a bunch of orange-screen vt220s connected to a Vax cluster. We didn't have fancy NCSA Mosaic like UT, we had Lynx and gopher. We learned C on a VAX with a broken scanf. Students

    One also must consider that the IMF and the people associated with the IMF probably have their own agenda, and the US has unique resources at its disposal. Makes for a good headline though, doesn't it?

    My good friend and I recently made our startup project public. I chose to make an interactive map of EclipseCon 2009 for an early demo since it has enough going on in a large space to make the demo interesting. Also, if you have an iPhone,

    Yeah, I'm finding gedit with a textmate-like dark theme is a better Textmate than Textmate!

    I can honestly say this is not the case in my experience. When we visit someone who has cable, its a shock similar to the one I feel when I install a new Firefox that doesn't have NoScript yet. There's all these interruptions, lame cliffh

    I prefer 2b: If you feel angry (real anger is not a choice), express it in a passionate but productive way, and stir others into action. Anger can be powerful and useful when its righteous anger directed appropriately. Think about Jesus

    I could see having to sign up and register with menkle to sell something -- CL does that. But if I have to sign up to contact a seller, I wouldn't use it. Its little things like that that make CL such a winner. CL tells users that it ca

    VCs do this sort of thing all the time. But, maybe YC didn't do it intentionally. Maybe someone overhead your idea at a party. Maybe it was a coincidence. Who cares? Get over it. Do it anyway. If you can't do it better, do it cheaper

    I'd suggest providing anonymous email (or phone #s) for your users. This "Craigslist-like feature" makes buying and selling to/from strangers safer and more discreet, and it shouldn't be too hard to set up.

    Yes, you need to know design. Even if you hire a designer, you'll be better off in understanding what you're paying for, being able to maintain the site they deliver (and being able to tell if what they give you is maintainable). I learn
