   Since my $1,000 worth of bitcoins dropped in value to $150 over a period of weeks, I've become significantly less interested in using it as a currency.

   Yes RDS, is great for the money considering the ease of backups and replicas, which normally are a pain in the ass for any sysadmin. Overall this article has little to do with scaling on AWS. Running any sort of production website on a micr

   I was really hoping this startup was actually giving the developers a cow - not donating to an organization that donates livestock (including cows) to hunger stricken areas of the world. I have donated to the Heifer project before, but neve

   Even though the Google Jquery libraries are used by a large number of top 100 sites, I prefer to serve my own files. 100k or 200k for the foundation of functionality that jquery provides isn't going to severely affect your visitors in any w

   Most of the time I have received poor results when measuring on a CPA basis, compared to conversion through other channels (cost per registration in my situation). I have had a few great successes of bringing CPA under $2 for a very targete

   Oh any their support is second to none IMHO. I've called at any hour of the day and had a tech diagnosing my issues on the phone with no wait.

    Agreed. Call Softlayer and name your price. All my servers are 50% cost of retail.

    This gets more difficult the older you get - corporate job, kids, mortgage, etc... I dropped out of college during my last year because I couldn't handle the thought of not putting 100% of my chips down on my idea. After all, the university

    Good find. Ironically, I've never seen that before. Unfortunately not the first idea i've had that was already created :)

    Not that I've seen before, though I admittedly didn't spend a lot of time researching this.

    Great point. I think that would be a good addition. For now you can adjust the slider in real time.

    Thanks! Let's get some ideas for V2. I'm considering showing things you could have bought with the money you spent. I.E., once the bill hits $1,500 it shows a Macbook burning up.

    I've been planning my move of a 25gb MySQL db over to RDS. I decided to have a downtime window in the middle of the night, versus doing a live move. I am moving from a dedicated datacenter to AWS all at once, so I'm in a different situation

    Interesting idea. It would be a lot more valuable with a domain name that a potential user could spell after hearing it mentioned to them. Also - A caption for each submission would be huge.

    I'm a founder of a (now) VC backed Boston startup who participated in MassChallenge. My team though it would be worth the time to pitch and get some no-strings cash in the bank. Even paying for our $5k/month office would have been awesome.

    I would seek out 2-3 angels who can provide the $300k investment. It's going to be (near) impossible to get a $300k loan on $20k/month gross revenue. Definitely not something any reputable bank will put forth in these times. You'll likely n
