Is it just me or are dialplans not really that hard? Also, AEL is pretty powerful too. All of the asterisk "pros" recommend using the dialplan extensively for performance and stability reasons. Ragi has potential in my opinion, however.

I suggest you use kiva.org, zopa.com, or lendingclub.com Also, where is the cost coming from? Is it the kind of thing you could handle for a few months if you borrowed a few thousand dollars? If so, you'll be in a much better position to

I know the benefits, they just don't seem to be accepting new business now or over the past few months.

This is a good point. You might want to use passenger if you lack sysadmin skills. The big pain of Rails is keeping your thin/mongrel/etc processes running, etc. I imagine a slicehost $20/month slice would run passenger mod_rails just fin

I like Slicehost. I have tried Joyent and it's good but you have to learn a bunch of Solaris skills and many gems don't work quite right on Solaris, and I've tried Engineyard but nobody will return my emails to set up an account. Slicehost

I try to minimize the number of sites I set up accounts on, and there is no logical reason why github shouldn't have simple tickets, other than deference to lighthouse.

True, but that's not because people can't get the annoying ideas out of their head, it's because of the legitimate innovation that Rails brought into the mainstream.

Whole Foods jumped the shark when it started closing its raw juice bars. Since then it's been one ham-handed move after the next.

It's the idea that the person sitting there working on a mac must be creative b/c he has the good taste to own a mac, the machine of choice of graphic designers, marketers, and other creative types.

I am not a huge fan of cartoon foxes, but he really nails it with that tweet. Maybe cartoon foxes aren't so bad after all.

For all the coverage this gets on HN, I tried to use the demo and nothing loads.

True he's very good, but the dvd is him teaching how to do it. I'm not as good as he is, but I've fried people with it.

True... it's for former-hackers who succeeded financially and now pay a lot of income tax.

That's it, we're all just victims of some catchy jingle.

It depends on what you're trying to sell. Some products just need someone to take orders. Other products require a more technical sale, and others require more traditional sales skills and negotiating skill. The most important thing for s

Good points, but how cool would it be to simply scan a project's open tickets and then fork it, hack away on one and submit a pull request. That's a far more cooperative spirit than simply forking someone's project for your own purposes. A

As others have pointed out, Google could fairly easily add git support to Google Code. I think it would be nice to have both sites available. I don't like lighthouse, and so it's annoying to me that github doesn't have its own slick and s

The reason Yahoo Music store is closing is b/c the DRM was very poor -- partly due to Microsoft's technology and partly due to Yahoo's flaky and untested music player software. Apple is keeping DRM going strong with movies. Let us hope tha
