The guy cashed out enough to pay off his entire mortgage and is acting like that's a tough decision. Millions of Americans would love to have that "problem". Millions of people hate their jobs. They don't have the opport

This is great. I wonder how long til the node community "discovers" that using a dedicated httpd and communicating over a standardized middleware (fcgi, wsgi, rack, etc) is also a superior approach instead of handling http directl

So build the alternative. Build a way for consumers to make bids/offers (put the money in escrow) and allow verified dealers to bid for your offer. You want a 2010 Honda Accord for $8500? Put up the cash and let reputable dealers compe

Are you certain something like this doesn't exist already? If there are 500-1000 sites I gotta imagine someone has already built this. Shopping feed / aggregators are nothing new. e.g. http://searchenginewatch.com/
