I your place I would avoid going the legal route since this is not your strength. 1. Pay close attention to comments from daegloe > EDIT: After reading many of the frothy comments on this page, I just wanted to add that it's generally b

I've noticed that you are LLC. Therefore, gravitronic and chimeracoder are absolutely correct in their remarks re accounting methodology (glad to see other GAAP versed folks here) - unless you do cash based accounting, which is highly unlik

You are extremely lucky. You had excellent opportunity to learn some important lessons when young and after investing only 7 mths of your life. I think this is small price to pay. I've had similar situation, but I invested 5 years... My fri

> Women or no women, I'll be an ass and say what I think. Excellent point. I think the key to true equality is to disregard the differences (gender, race, religion, citizenship, etc) and just look at simple things, such as performance,

I am surprised to see this question resurfacing last half year because I think that the answer to this question was pretty much nailed down by Vinicius Vacanti in his blog post in Sep 2010 http://viniciusvacanti.com/2010/09/27/should-you-h

Good point re 'telecommuting criminals'. I presume it is inherently and practically more difficult to investigate identity of someone renting servers in US vs Russia, Ukraine or China, in part because of language, legal system and political

Appreciate your intent. You are correct on #4. I've heard some stories about hrackers storing piles of cash under the couch [this case was in Ukraine], made from cracking banks/ATMs. Definitely, black activities are much more profitable. Bu

Looks like the OP is doing a hack - he is trying to achieve his goal [of destroying parts of the botnet] by hacking legal system, since he can not do this on his own... Resourceful!

I apologize in advance for the tone, but as a Russian I have a question - are you racist? Since Sergey Brin and Mila Yovovich are "russians", do you imply that Google and Hollywood are part of this botnet? The most famous hacker is Kevin Mi

Although you are correct that trademarks and copyright are a different story, the state of events in those is still not satisfying. A couple of examples: 1. Trademarks - Facebook recently insisted on owning trademark of word "book". Althoug

The tricky part is developer's qualification. Task XXX Noob at $50/hr * 20 hrs = $1'000 Pro at $150/hr * 2 hrs = $ 300 How do you guys plan to tackle deveoper's creds?

I completely agree, such behavior is not gender related. But males are trending higher, usually because the percentage of male bosses is higher. Social status and power tend to release some inner devils. Also agree about side comments - it

Having read all the 140+ comments, this reminds me of the hooker/girlfriend dilemma. In the first case you know how much you ought to pay upfront and you [mostly] know what you will get. No need for call backs, conf calls or multiple meetin
