Not really. FICO dings you for having more than 2 installment loans, or more than 4 revolving accounts. Plus you get dinged for having more than 2 "outside" inquiries in a year. More points disappear from your FICO for having a balance, or

This is pretty awesome. I've got a few VPS's with linode at their 3 other datacenters, I'm glad to be able to open up one here for a new monitoring node. I think they're the most well-run VPS provider I've dealt with. Congrats to Tom &

Still, VCs can waste a lot of money on a bad idea with no real plans of revenue generation. Boo.com & Napster were both great examples who burned around $120m each (Boo's revenue strategy was apparently to spend $120m wooing big names i

This site was clearly developed for large companies having problems hiring because of their size. The lack of an even remotely useable demo made me snicker at the minimum $500/week price point.

I'm pretty excited about this. Carl, one of their engineers is someone I've been trying to poach for my own company for a long time. This is giving me a good use for all of my telephoto lenses besides tech conferences!

I'm personally hedging my bets on light bulbs until the replacement compromises go away. CFLs don't last nearly as long as Incandescents, and the light they cast is subpar. It is silly to spend hundreds of dollars to replace a tried and tru

Here's another one, btw .. Netriver, this small datacenter I know up in Seattle is touting that they peer with Amazon :) http://www.netriver.net/pages/hybrid_computing

The overselling of resources with the hope that users won't use anything near what they've paid for. If those resources do get used, then the hope that they will keep signing new customers to pay for those infrastructure costs.

Have you spoken to a trademark/copyright lawyer about any potential infringement and/or brand confusion claims that PlentyOfFish.com will inevitably bring up against you?

Have you considered drugs? Seriously, for better or for worse I took Ritalin from age 6 until age 18, then stopped for about 5 years. Afterwards I started working with a doctor to try and find a ritalin replacement that didn't include the d

In Seattle, NWEN does this with their bi-annual angel forum. Also notable is DEMO which is something like $10k-$20k to play..

If this is the company I think it is, then, wow. I interviewed with a company named "goodmail" in like 2001 or 2002. They had built a pretty pointless little email device aimed at "the market that wants to email but doesn't want to buy a co

When I briefly lived in Seattle, I loved to work in the coffee shops there. They were idea with lots of tables, great wifi, and tons of power ports. They came in two varieties: So quiet that you can hear yourself think So loud that everythi

You should be able to get the data programmatically, most isps have looking glass servers that you can look at to figure out who is peering with who. You can also look their AS #s up on Robtex and see if they're peering..

Grins, I know just about everybody at SoftLayer, they're really good peeps. Who do you want to be connected to?

Forgive me. They're not a no-man's land, just a no-competition land .. Which is even worse.

Gomez might also be interesting to talk to. They have hundreds of browsers with their performance plugin that does remote end-user equivalent testing .. Of course having used Gomez's monitoring services, I'm unimpressed with their understan

You might ask around on webhostingtalk.com, probably the largest single forum for people in the hosting industry. I do know that Africa, India, & the Middle East are still somewhat of a no man's land in terms of hosting & dedicated

I've been thinking about something like this too. What's sexy about 10TB is that they arbitrage SoftLayer who has 3 well positioned, and very well peered datacenters (Seattle, Dallas, and Virginia). If 10TB gives you the option to provisio

What really matters is your ability to execute as a team. I was 24 when I started my last company with a co-fouder who was 31 at the time. We had completely different backgrounds, and polar views on the world, but we worked well together
