You might check out a company that I used to own, BitPusher.com. They host and/or manage infrastructure for dozens of startups, including a few YC startups (Wufoo, Meteor solutions (I think), and am pretty sure they're working with Posterou

Is this so different than say Apple's "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" advertisements? Posterous believes they have a system which has a lower barrier of entry for users of these other platforms. The only thing different is that they are taking a more

"You left your Laptop and your Camera in in a car? Really? Unattended? And it got stolen? Sucks to be you, I hope you had insurance!" That's about what I would expect a police officer to say. At least, that's what they say here in San Fran

I maintain a blacklist of recruiters who annoy me. Mostly it's the ones who call me up repeatedly, or who call me about ridiculously bad fits. However, I also keep a special section in that black list for any recruiter that uses the term "R

We should put together a HN equivalent of couchsurfing .. and on that note, I have two sofas in San Francisco that are free until I move the middle of august! There seems to be a small but growing movement of nomads. The first I met was @io

"Banana equivalent dose (wikipedia.org) 420 points by soyelmango 19 hours ago | 74 comments" I wonder if I'm the only one who saw that, didn't read the article, and thought "Did some stoner just hack HN?"

Politely keep doing what they've asked, but have your lawyer draft a letter, and prepare to send it when you've hit the frustration point. If that doesn't solve the problem, prepare to sue.

Well then looking on webhostingtalk.com, the retail value for this is about $60-$75/month, not $200. There are quite a few tricks the dedicated server market plays to keep costs inline when over-selling. Small hard drives, slower processors

$200/month free service? Try more like $40. Those are servers who were fully amortized 2-3 years ago and otherwise would get sent to the $49-$99/month scrap bin where their margins are actually pretty incredible (the only real cost is the $
