Did you play in your high school band? Join the marching band. If you're worried your musical chops aren't good enough , just remember; it's not how well you play, but how loud you play! You'll have 100 new friends and h

"China" has been trying this for over 10 years. There first attempt was Red Flag Linux, and there have been a few other Linux derivatives since. The problem is that the 'users' (personal/business) want the Windows and will pirate copies as

Geez - Huddle was "inspired" by Padpaw, but I'm not bitter, much. Lot's of ideas get tried out, some times they stick. Other times they take 2 or 3 starts/failures before they stick

Agreed - Granting or selling shares is much more straightforward than an LLC. Plus converting an LLC to an S or C-Corp takes a lot of billable hours. So - find a lawyer local to you, and have him set up the S-Corp in your state. Don't worry

Heh. When was the last time Dave McClure followed the Oakland A's? I mean, to take his analogy of "Moneyball" to his investment strategy to it's (il)logical conclusion, you'll have a bunch of start-ups that will make it the playoffs (seed)

I worked there 10 years ago and if I remember correctly, the system that generated seed files wasn't on the network. They wanted an "air gap" just for this reason. And yes - the method for SecurID was long ago known - just read the patent.

Your supposition is incorrect. The planet is awash in oil. The only limitation is cost of extracting it. For example: the Bakken oil reserve in North Dakota is estimated to be in the 100's of billion barrels. Unfortunately, the oil is trapp

Yup - I scanned the QR Code during the press conference and filled out the form on my phone. I didn't think I stood a chance of getting one, but Christmas came early today. Nice machine.

Thanks Tim - getting people educated is a major obstacle. It took American Idol to get people in the US to use text messaging.

Here's a simple solution - get rid of tenure. Tenure was originally a protection for professors to speak freely without the fear of getting fired. The result however is an ossification of faculty that doesn't care because they've attained a

mBlox was good in getting us feedback and suggesting fixes during the process. You spend most of the time waiting for the carriers to respond to applications and testing.

You can get a shortcode in three days - $500 for a random 5-digit, $1,000 for a vanity 5 or 6-digit. The biggest gating item is the approval process with the carriers. That will take 6-8 weeks. If you're getting a prototype working, textma

Padpaw is currently using mBlox and they've been very helpful in getting us running and approved through all the carriers. We're using the XML interface for sending messages, but we might switch to SMPP if our volumes start getting insane.

Free yes, but as someone else mentioned, you don't have any guarantee of service quality. We used email-to-sms when prototyping Padpaw and got mixed results on message delivery. This is an important requirement as we're sending out change o
