I think the various specific reasons can be generalized to the idea that money can buy happiness but it can't buy sanity.

It's also not useful to take some aggregate 5% of businesses succeed so I have a 5% chance. Some business lack the talent, idea or plan to make it and have a virtually zero chance while others are way on the other end.

I'm two months after 30 and the same is true for me, I'm much more effective now than I was then. You reach your peak in your 20s sometime but you don't really have any serious decline until much later. There basically was no point.

so here I have a great IDE, lots of static analysis, continuous integration, automatic dependency management etc... people who say you can't maintain java don't know how to code in it, after 13 years it's clear to me why it's still popular.

very carefully? I don't think it's really visual, it's just like metavisual thinking without engaging the phonological loop. I visualize graphs most of the time, sometimes with colors or textures but usually fairly simple planar graphs.

the point was that describing women in the manner of the last 3 sentences signals such a world view. Also, there's nothing wrong with casual sex, it's pretty awesome... so like, you had these bad experiences after just letting the stereotyp

I think you're both doing it wrong. Women tend to approach men less than the reverse, I presume that if you approached more then you'd end up with higher values in the qualities you care about. It's also only important to note you are not j

yeah, unless the drive content is encrypted you can just mount it on another system and take whatever you want. You can even boot to linux off a usb and do this.

Yes indeed, encryption is the only real solution. Of course, if you're really trying to hide something then you need to make sure the unencrypted ones aren't leaking somewhere.

It's OK to be confrontational to a certain degree. He doesn't sound like the indispensable kind of co founder and would be in rough shape without OP, who is therefore in a position of power.

congrats on the launch, it's really great for a first effort! I also hear app engine can tolerate a fairly large amount of traffic before you have to pay, so it seems like a solid choice to start on.
