Agreed. Also, nothing he criticizes here has changed since he wrote this.

When I worked at a biglaw firm a few years back, we were told that the shelf-price of one of these wide searches was upwards of $800 for the firm and we were encouraged to narrow down the search as much as possible. The cost for recovering

Its not just the boot process, but disk access in general will be slower, especially if your disk is fragmented. The file system is implemented as a single file on the windows partition. http://linux.about.com/od/dist/gr/dstwubi.htm htt

Something that struck me about these is that they are for twitter but still relatively long url's in themselves. longreply.com is 13 characters, twitlonger.com is 14, and the last mentioned in this discussion logilogi.org is 12. For me, t

http://www.reddit.com/r/web_design/ is alright .. but its not specifically for startups..

Yeah I don't know why they took something that wasn't broken (the reddit envelope system) and made it less useful. It'd also be nice to save pages to view later as Reddit allows one to do. I know the goal was to minimize interface options

I had luck with the book "Its not carpal tunnel" or something -- http://bit.ly/Ocwy5 .. It suggested some stretches, one which worked in my case. My pinky and half my ring finger were going numb from the bottom of my wrist sitting on eith

out of curiosity, why Fedora?

In my experience I've seen it used in servers quite a bit, typically those running cpanel. Its very similar to RHEL but without the pay-support plans. I've helped to run a machine running it for 3-4 years now, with no real issues.

I'm with Mr. Manjoo here. Check out that screenshot -- it looks like an interface nightmare similar to AOL in the 90's. Where are my eyes supposed to go? What do I click on? Personally, I find this a noted departure from the simplicity

I'm not sure if they've ever claimed that its a not-for-profit event in the way you've described. Some of that money goes into the hands of the people organizing the event (who happen to be investors).

This sounds a bit shady to me. They get 100 startups to pay 5k each, then they choose 2 of those startups to fund 250k and 50k, with 200k going to cover their costs? In the end, you have 98 unhappy startups paying for 2 startups to launch

I could not agree more. Technical skills are empowering, especially in this world before us where software is still a growth industry. Also -- if you're like me and you end up feeling guilty for making a shameless run for money, you have a

I think its natural for an intellectually curious person to feel doubts about whatever they choose. Personally -- I studied Econ as an undergrad, worked at 2 startups for 2 years, then nonprofits for the next 3, and then law school and a bi

I was nearby under the dust cloud as well -- living in our loft/office in Chinatown where we were still folding our startup up after the market collapse a year prior. I was taking a shower when I heard the first plane hit. I thought it wa

Agreed, but I'd still think jailbroken is the way to go for the many that are stuck in contracts and can't really afford the $200 to break early.

Its all about the developers (as Ballmer says). You'd be doing your part to channel effort away from this awful system into a third party that does not censor or cripple your hardware's functionality: Check out this bit from Slashdot yeste

My friends who have allegedly done this report that restoring the phone to a point where it can get officially serviced has not been a problem. One has allegedly done so multiple times. And I think if its the type of problem such that you

I would think that a more proper boycott of Apple's policy in this case would be to jailbreak the iphone. This way, you're boycotting the app store, not the phone itself.

grooveshark, still wonky interface but its as close to spotify I can find on our shores. ..of course I still use dropbox .. who doesn't? I stopped using evernote as I got tired of having to use Wine to run it..

FYI: "3jam beta costs $4.99 with a 12-month subscription, but price is indirectly proportional to commitment. A three-month bundle costs $5.99, and you'll pay $8.99 for one month. The charge won't include texting rates, which 3jam will tack

Reddit is still a fantastic place for discussion. Also it arguably has a better interface i.e. orange mailbox, saved links, etc. Perhaps not for startup stuff, but for politics & pop culture I think Reddit continues to do as good a job

I like the comparison though I also like the wave pattern. For example, weekends are definitely worse than weekdays.

I am not sure but I think what has gone unspoken here is the recent decline in quality of content on this site. Perhaps this is why he's concerned?

He doesn't help his cause very much with his often arrogant bully tactics. Sometimes it seems like he enjoys insulting people who comment, which isn't really so different from Ron Artest jumping into the crowd to fight with folks, is it?

I think there's something to be said about the indication users of the site will get from knowing that profit-maximizing will never be a goal of the software. It may pay some salaries (as wikipedia does) but it will never sell out its purp

to clarify #2 - the question is whether businesses can be crafted somewhat similar to how open source software is crafted, which is democratically. Somehow, entrepreneurs could get together and butt heads and form small idea-groups that go
