I can see the issue with animals with brains. However, Oysters/mussels should be separated out of this list as they don't. After watching this Ted video, http://www.ted.com/talks/stefano_mancuso_the_roots_of_plant_... , I think high level

I live right down the street from the datacenter (~ 0.5 miles). The whole area's power was out for a bit, but know more than an hour. My site is having errors.

Really boggles my mind, but I think it has to do with how the recruiters get rated. I imagine the lower the percentage of successful applicants, the lower their performance. I worked there a bit over two years.

I often feel that I lack the delusion to build a premier company. I try to build a great product, but I can usually point out to other companies that do an element of what I do better. Perhaps no more SWOT analyses. Such a weird balance tha

Big pro for me: "Developing for it is easy and consistent across the devices that it runs on, unlike Android, which requires testing and specialized development for each different handset." Big negative: .NET

Reminds me of: "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." (While usually attributed to Mark Twain, the actual source of these words of wisdom is unknown - there is no evidence that Mark Twain ever said this.) from: ht

Once the year is up, you can still get a good deal on AWS by getting a reserved 10GB micro instance for $10.54 per month. You'll also need to pay for bandwidth ($.15 per GB after your first free 1GB) and I/O ($.1 per million requests). htt

Too bad they didn't use EC2 to handle the Renderman Farm. They could have made it a bit easier by using Amazon Web Services own version of a sneakernet, http://aws.amazon.com/importexport/

I made a guess at the url based on how they format their live urls. I guess this could be one negative of having nice urls. The current signup urls are: Maximum: https://signup.37signals.com/basecamp/Max/signup/new Premium: https://signu

Just found that the code says "The existence of a limited liability company begins upon the filing of the articles of organization." Can I read this literally, the corp exists once I mail the docs in? http://law.justia.com/california/codes

Mountain View is safe at night. I've walked around after 10 many times without issue. Transit doesn't have to be too bad. There is a train to Palo Alto and San Francisco and decent bus service. You can also rent a car from Enterprise for ab

A company must make a good amount of money to do this. There is a overhead in structuring this: lawyers who do international inc., physical presence, banks, etc. Larger companies will often do this by setting up a corporation in Ireland. Th

If you can get a signed 60/40 contract with no vesting period, this might be the way to go. Your co-founder launches it and then you quit with the equity. He can find someone else to carry on the code. If he's successful, then so are you. G

I, like many others, also use virtualbox for development. So much easier to develop on something close to my production servers, but it uses up too much memory. I've been looking at some cheap Walmart/Frys PCs to install ubuntu on and devel
