"The cure is not to reduce the price, but, on the contrary, to raise it even higher to break our addiction to oil." It is interesting that the prime minister's comment was sensational enough for several Danish news outlets to pick up on the

... And be thorough when selecting the people you sell to. You may be able to leverage them for more than money, eg. use them as board members and have them use their network to help you get needed contacts to develop your business. This wa

"The Pragmatic Programmer" by Andrew Hunt and Dave Thomas. It reads a bit like "the 7 habits for effectice developers", except that it contains about a 150 "habits". I have wished many, many times that I could force colleagues to read this.

I once added some custom functionality to MediaWiki, and was very pleasantly surprised by the codebase's organization and the readability of the code.

I'll add to the "partner warning". It's incredibly important to pick the right people! I worked at a startup where one of the two partners was really good during the "garage phase", i.e. just two guys hacking away on a prototype. When the c

Each description is prefixed with "Membership: free". I was surprised that the author felt the need to mention this. Are there any social networks with membership fees?
