I have flown nearly 100 times this year so far and have not been through one once. I make it a practice to make it as uncomfortable for the screener as the process is for me. I am rude and comply only to the bare minimum. If I have time,

Childlike logic. Just because someone else is doing something wrong doesn't give you license to do it too. Arrington should have brought it up as an issue, not used it as a trump card.

There are lots of laws that are going unenforced that have had far more severe consequences to this country than allowing people to play a game of skill for money. So coming down on the DOJ for selective enforcement is absolutely appropriat

If you can't take criticism, don't post in a public forum designed for exactly that.

How do they get around the SEC's "sophisticated investor" regulations? Ignoring them may make follow on rounds extremely complex -- if not impossible. Also, having a polluted cap table makes subsequent raises far more difficult. [Edit: B

It appears that they take payments in as deposits and then disburse the money when another user requests a withdrawal. This requires either a bank charter or a designation as a money transfer agency. Without one of those, they are running

Twitter appeals to the 30-50 demographic because they do not have the unlimited time it takes to deal with Facebook or MySpace. I'm 33 and have a Facebook account that I rarely ever use because it just takes too much effort. I don't want

Back in 2000 I was working at a startup in Washington, D.C. and we had been working 80-100 weeks for nearly 1.5 months before management finally brought in some contractors as reinforcement. All of the developers were in a 20x20 or so room

That's a good point. OAuth would at least centralize the problem towards a more trusted source and limit the number of places the credentials would be stored. I trust Google or Facebook to have more safeguards in place than a webapp that

Twitpay is focusing on micropayments in order to alleviate some of the risk in using a medium like Twitter. A user can only put or take a maximum of $50 in or out of the system on one given day. So while that attack is theoretically possi
