   Yes it's not a huge obstacle. But this is targeted at users in Pakistan, where internet access is fairly limited, and it's mostly dial up/low speed in the areas that do have internet access. I can imagine the average user wanting to get his

   This research seems quite interesting, however I see one problem here. The BitMate client is fairly heavy, the download ranks in at 18MB. Getting this out to users in low bandwidth areas becomes difficult due to this. Compare this to uTorre

   By "reversing the changes" I think the OP wants to add this in as a patch for the Transmission, which is a popular open source BitTorrent client. In fact I'd love to do that as well, given the chance. EDIT: Just found out that it's open sou

   The blog post was a pretty good read, thanks. I'm interested in data mining/AI, but need to learn much more before I'll be able to do anything useful. After some more thought I think it might just be better to focus a bit on academics and l

   Thanks for the tips, but as a student it seems a bit hard to get access to the data sets etc. needed for those. However, I'll look into it.

    I think they're viable in terms of business prospects as long as you can get good games out consistently. I'm currently working at a startup that puts out mobile apps, we're currently moving into the gaming market. Not sure about any fundin

    I'm posting this here because, to me, the restriction makes no sense. Also, it seems to mostly affect publishers in third world countries. I would really love to find out the rationale behind this.

    This may have happened in order to stop remittances. Indians abroad usually send fair amounts of money back home to support their families, and using Paypal they can avoid the official government taxes on those payments.

    I don't think the average joe would bother reviewing a site, pretty much killing the utility of something like this. On the other hand, what's preventing someone from gaming the system by using a service such as MTurk to get their competito

    I had this idea a few months back as well, the few discussions I had with people gave the impression that there's definitely a demand for this. your implementation seems great as an MVP IMO, good luck with it!

    Browsing through that list now... I'm not sure but I think someone from my uni did GSoC last year, I'll try finding out about that first. Thanks anyway!

    I don't have a student visa unfortunately. Time to build an open source portfolio and get in line for GSoC... Any suggestions? I have a few small useful scripts that I've written over the years but they're not of good quality to release. Sh

    I think a company wouldn't want to go through the bother of issuing a visa just for an intern. The problem with GSoC is that it doesn't count as an internship for companies that need one. Or meeting my university's requirement for an intern

    I wish someone had given me this useful advice back when I was a sophomore.. oh wait, thanks! It's really good advice, IMHO. With regards to the first point... Most companies here (Pakistan) are in the web/mobile app development business or

    Good to know this helped someone out - I looked into the last bill when it had been four days without a charge. Some searching online lead me to a page where someone said they dropped a 5 cent charge too, but I can't find that at the moment

    I manage a Linode for someone else, and so far it's been great. For personal use I'd rather use something cheaper though, budget's a bit tight. Thanks anyhow for the great links!

    Hmm. Their free usage tier might be interesting as well, for a year at least. But you have to take bandwidth usage into account, other VPS providers seem to give much more bang for the buck there.
