America, at this point, only has an innovative edge. I believe this is the reason IP is such a hot debate. How can we tell other nations to keep worshiping us if they can simply take our ideas and manufacture their own copies? We need to OW

Hmm... I am curious. I don't have much experience in this regard, but I have a tendency to think the people of NYC would rather invest in financial instruments which a) they know very well and b) have astronomical returns without requiring

The wiki is primarily discussing theory of administering a web system with a little bit about resource distribution. The ideas all have merit, but you need to decide how important they are. I, for example, don't mind having to upgrade a web

Interesting look at ebay. I still buy any obscure stuff I can't find on CL from ebay...

As a New Yorker, I'm psyched for this. I had a lengthy discussion with a coworker about how NYC is far less likely to breed the mind of an inventor. I showed him PG's recent article ( http://www.paulgraham.com/cities.html ). I hope this bri

I wouldn't recommend gentoo in a hosting environment until you're comfortable. I know a few people who completely hosed gentoo boxes during the learning phase.

I just setup a vps with linode.com two days ago and chose ubuntu. It's been fairly trivial to administer remotely, without x. I haven't had to take on the role of an SA anytime recently, but it couldn't be much easier than to work with ubun

I don't think it sucks much at first at all... Most people I know that have a hard time with emacs don't want to learn anything fancy and think the arrow keys are fine for navigation. Let them watch you program for a few minutes and they'll

None. I've got things to do...

Very much so. It looks childish and therefore I don't want to use it. Sorry, I've been harsh in my criticism so far... Just being honest.

He again followed up with this: Kind of stupid, there’s nothing differentiating. If he could come up with some way of getting discounts or a way to affect the entities that he’s matching one another against, then great, otherwise, it’s ju

When have parents ever been supportive of risky behaviour in their children? It depends on what you mean by "risky". My barely present parents never advocated I drive a car recklessly but they fully supported me (mentally, anyway) when I

I asked a friend who is crazy about sports and fairly tech savvy. Here is what he said: Not sure I understand what it is. An “A” vs “B” in different sectors (sports, tech, etc)? Just to be a comparison site where you can shit talk and or

Provide some more information as to your current (as well as past) work experience, education, interests, etc. and I am sure the community can be more concrete with suggestions. That's a good idea. I'll probably post another Ask YC with m

I've used SOAP at work with great success. We map sql select queries from the input XML and use the web service simply as a language independent (text-based), read-only database (we only allow select). The XML let's us control all queries r

I don't see any reason to suspect they would. They've been good (from what I can tell) to the reddit folks and know ars technica's value comes from the existing format.
