   Economics can contribute to economics, so long as they are not dynamic macroeconomic theorists. That stuff is witchcraft.

   Actually Hayek and Keynes never used much math in their arguments. Keynes ideas were put into economic models by later economists with science backgrounds: Alvin Hansen, Paul Sameulson, James Tobin, etc. Quit pointing out that Einstein was

    I dont think Mac OS X server is really anything special - Mac OS X itself can be a good server. Unless your using some specific Apple-only technology like Xgrid, plain OSX is fine. And Id only use OSX as a server over linux/bsd if you reall

    Cool idea but a rather expensive way to go (if you consider hardware + colocation fee) compared with a VPS. Although the mac mini is dedicated its laptop parts make it on par or worse than a good VPS performance-wise. Id be more inclined to

    Thanks. I agree, I felt uneasy about this whole double click thing. It will be gone in the next update. Do you recommed a special button like "launch" instead?

    By the way Im open to meeting another cofounder. My current cofounder who used to work at SAS can only commit maybe 10-20% of his time (he's working on a PhD in stat). If you are interested in statistical software please let me know below.
