but what about residency? From what I gathered at your linked website (tnx btw, seems like a great resource) their work permit (aka working for an employer) rules are pretty lax... Is it the same for working on your own?

May someone well-versed in the dark art which is French elaborate more on this program? Is it open only to EU members? Would a startup without millions of capital might really be eligible?

Brilliant. A number of comments: * He mentions there is no multi tasking in dosshell. I'm not 100% sure about MS-DOS 5.0, but in ver 6.0 you could switch between tasks in dosshell [EDIT: this is also true for version 5.0, you can see the op

Since I know that both teams are lurking here: If an inPulse watch had an accelerometer and could double as a WakeMate (connected to their iPhone app and website, etc.) it would be great. Just sayin'...

Isn't 3k/month too much for a startup? and (sort of related) what would be the cost of one full time customer support rep? It doesn't have to be the most technical person with a CS degree from MIT, mind you...

I don't know, I enjoyed my time doing C++ work. I think the key sentence is this: "I love to see how they do things because I think they don’t rely on it for the stuff that it’s not really that good at but totally use it as almost a metapro

If by rewind you mean that you can choose an arbitrary executed statement and start to reevaluate the function from there - then it's there since VS 2005 at minimum.

eh eh :) About an hour after taking a set theory exam it dawned on me that a proof I gave is correct iff the continuum hypothesis is true. The distance between a Fields medal and a F was never so small :) edit: you made me wiki it. Funny, I

Excellent choices. (The aforementioned sentence does not require use of AoC ;) In fact, the moments he describes in #3 are partly why I'm currently pursuing a Math and not a CS degree.

"the DRM goes away in most cases." It seems to me tough that music is the exception to the rule. Computer games mostly have some form of copy protection. Most computer programs have copy protection, minimally with a serial number, many with

In the meantime, to build upon euroclydon's summary, do you have any recommended articles about catering to, um, middle aged women? (software! I mean software-wise!) On your blog I found only something about abusive customers :)

Anti-christ because of things done in the past that you are generally afraid will affect your startup or because of a general sentiment of them being "evil"? If the latter, then not evaluating them because of it sounds like bad business moj

The funny thing is that for me it IS a switch. About a year ago I travelled to Ireland and England on vacation. While I did mostly general touristic stuff, I added some geeky points of interest to my itinerary such as Bletchley Park, Alexan

I'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way and not because of "HBGary are friends with the FBI" as the other posters seems to think... HBGary probably have a contract with the FBI where the FBI pays either anyway or based on the results (prob

Fellow HNers, a real question - what would be the risks of buying Facebook shares in an IPO? Facing (no pun intended) past IPOs like Google's and other tech dears, where the stock multiplied in a very short time and profits in hindsight see

That's not (just) for making a buck. You bring value to your customers. In the current system if you are more environmental friendly than your competitors you will go out of business (the comments here talk about 10x the costs). I'm not say

Realisticlly, if you don't do it then a competitor will and not only will he pollute the planet, but drive you out of business with his cheaper units.
