   Can anybody who has knowledge about SOPA answer some questions for me? 1. Will the websites that are blocked by a result of SOPA only affect US citizens? 2. Can a foreign TLD such as .dk, .se etc. get blocked? 3. What happens if you use the

   Use sites like http://www.colourlovers.com/ to get inspiration for colors. If you are a programmer you should spend some time studying the color theory - much of it is based on math and you can actually often calculate which colors will w

   Great work by the Ge.tt team. I hope they be able to grow this service even further. The competition, Venture cup, which they won in 2010 was won by us (Iconfinder) in 2011. Small world!

   I have built Iconfinder into a profitable service while having a day and studying at business school. I still do some work next to the startup, but it is basically paying for servers etc. plus a salary for me.

   I have worked with two content delivery networks, NetDNA CDN and Edgecast, and both have had longer periods of downtime. Is running these services without so much downtime really this difficult?

   I signed up since it's on the homepage of Hacker News and perhaps getting a peak in traffic for some days. I can always cancel before getting charged. I agree, $10/month is way too much for a service without traction.

   So true. The value of the feature grows exponentially with the number of users using it. * If it's used to share files with other users - and not just your own devices.

    Did you compare bare bones PHP with Ruby or PHP with a library such as Zend? I curious because I'm considering recoding a large part of a website and are trying to avoid scaling issues. Thank you for the answer.

    Why did you go for Ruby instead of PHP? Would you have had the (roughly) same database issues if you didn't have that many writes to the db?

    This is the second time a death of somebody I haven't met have upset me. The first time it was Layne Staley, lead singer of Alice in Chains. I guess both Steve Jobs and Layne Staley have created beautiful work that inspired me.

    All income are from ads - so far :-) I have some plans to get other revenue streams. I hate ads my self, so I try to minimize the screen real estate used for them.
