They're looking for the convenience of a prostitute, without the hassle (logistical, legal) and the "worry" that might come with a normal prostitute (guilt, higher disease risk, whatever). I'm happily married, but I don't think calling thes

These days it's pretty negligible, at least in my experience. If you every get to the point where the SSL handling CPU load is a problem, you're driving a TON of traffic and hopefully can afford another box or two, or an F5 to off-load the

I'm in a small niche, but demand is through the roof. If I had 10 clones, I could have them all on contracts within two days.

You've read a great deal into my comment that wasn't there. Not blaming you, written comments aren't the best means of communication. Most high schools, including one I went to in a very poor blue collar ex-fishing town, offer tutoring, cl

Because I didn't know how to code:) I had been in the aerospace engineering program. I had used computers, and knew a little LOGO and BASIC. Eventually I was able to get a job in tech support due to my communications skills and willingnes

Thank you! I have two blogs, professional and personal ( http://www.digitalsanctuary.com/tech-blog/ and http://www.digitalsanctuary.com/blog/ ), however I haven't really talked too much about my "lessons learned" or experiences yet. May

Honestly it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I worked at Urban Outfitters for $5.15/hour. I started off sleeping on a friend's couch until I could save up enough to get an apartment. I shared a rough but clean apartment in Oak Sq

How else would you expect them to try to bring a historically industrial/manufacturing & agriculture based economy into the 21st century? I don't live there, but I think it's great for cities and states to try to increase the diversity

Google cares. A lot. They reached out to me to offer me a position, and then retracted the offer once they learned the lack of degrees on my resume wasn't just a space saving mechanism. I've never had another company turn me down, even if t

My point specifically is that hard work = success is ONLY for for the very small sub-set of the population that has the right aptitude/skills to create a successful startup/tech career beyond your standard cube-rat (no offense to cube-rats)

I have to disagree with this. I dropped out of college, spent the winter as a snowboard bum in Colorado, moved back to Boston, and started working for minimum wage in retail. Managed to save enough money to buy a new computer. Got a bett

I'm not saying you should be blind to what is happening in your market, but I'm a strong believer that you should focus on making your product the best for your users that you can, and try to ignore a lot of the noise out there. Do what yo

I love it! It's $$ but it's a business expense. I get the full 50/10 they advertise: http://www.digitalsanctuary.com/tech-blog/general/comcast-50... The only issue is you're still limited by the 250 GB/month transfer cap. My first mon

Having just spent a week in Iceland, they may have fast local connections, but for actually using US based sites and services, I'd rather have 1.5 MBit DSL in the States (actually I have the Comcast 50/10 service at home). It was painful.

It seems wrong somehow that IBM would spend $7 billion on an acquisition, immediately after laying off thousands of employees.

I've read the book a few times. I've always ended up skipping over the last half of the Galt speech, so the idea of skipping the rest of the book just to read that never ending speech seems funny to me.

Yeah. 10MinuteMail.com rotates out domains every month or two. The problem is that people who actually care about blocking temporary e-mail tend to stay on top of the big sites domain lists. There are even 3rd party lists you can integrat

That doesn't mean it's safe. There are disposable e-mail sites that do not allow others access to your mail (mine: 10MinuteMail.com is one of them, but there are others). Just because you want to dodge spam from sold lists, doesn't mean yo

Many sites to block disposable e-mail addresses. Then again, many do not. In my opinion it's no different than a gmail/ymail address.

Congrats for the launch and the interesting approach! I run 10MinuteMail.com, which is in the same space, although with a few differentiators, so take my comments with a grain of salt:) I worry about the lack of security (i.e. someone can e

I never said it was revolutionary. It's a feature that seems useful, is new to the iPhone, and will be a free upgrade. As a very happy iPhone owner (and yes I've had Sony Ericcsons, Motorolas, Nokias, HTCs, etc...) this upcoming feature (

People need to learn that the first bike you get should be <50 hp, and cheap enough you don't care when you drop it. Do not start with a Ducati. That said, the 696 isn't THAT fast...

Ditto this. I got tired of constantly tech supporting my mom on her Dell, and gave her my old MBP. Spent 30 minutes walking her through the OS X differences, and really haven't heard from her since. She uses it all the time now to create

If you know a good technical person you trust, ask them to help. If you don't, go make some technical friends. I've been helping screen technical people for friend's companies for a while now. My friends trust me to determine if someone is
