This is great advice. I just wanted to make the typical legal fees clear to keep things realistic. I'm not sure if it's the same with this type of case, but for personal injury claims, the typical lawyer contract entitles the attorney to 1/

Yeah, we've discussed this before. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2945463 I think the ubiquity and ease of use of things like WordPress causes people to overlook this solution. Also, I believe the caching plugins that people use with

You might be able to tell whether there is a market for your product today. Does your product have any competitors? Find people who are using your competitors' products. E-mail them this afternoon and see if they're interested in what you'r

I used to use oh-my-zsh but gave up on it after a few months because it took almost 20 seconds to open up a Terminal tab. I switched back to bash with some really basic git completion and was happy enough, enjoying < 2 second opening ti

Good point. I think connecting me through the phone would be best. I was a little confused about how the call was going to work initially until I stopped skimming and actually read what was on the page. Another good rationale is that the us

I like this a lot. My senators have a system that requires me to press 1 to leave a voicemail and 2 to speak with someone. I had to actually dial on my phone to make it happen. Maybe a little keypad could be displayed while on the call?

The commenter also didn't take into account that the req/sec was probably not evenly distributed across 2 hours.

Good point. An unfortunate casualty. It might be possible to augment the statically generated blog posts with data via the comment providers' APIs periodically.

Blogs really don't need a PHP, Rails, or anything backend. It's static content. Here's how I think blogging should work: 1. Visit a web app where you create your blog post, add pictures, use your rich text editor, that sort of thing. 2. Cli

Is there some crevice here that can be made into a startup? A digital distribution platform for indie game devs who want more freedom with what they are selling?

Interesting that a similar comment was made by patio11 and there was intelligent discussion about it.

For Posterous, custom domains are $13 (or maybe $25, the custom domain signup page is a little confusing) if you register through them. There's a fair amount of markup there.
