It's actually #8 on the 2008 list. Although Toyota is the only auto maker above it (at #5). And my understanding is that Toyota is profitable. I'm not sure that's a valid excuse for GM.

Have you gotten $25 worth of testing, feedback, bugs, tweaks, etc... out of your average beta tester? I'll bet you have. If so, you should give them a free pro copy, and ask them to introduce their friends to your software. If your beta t

The best cover letter, imho, shows a personal touch to the application, and covers a short list of requirements listed in the job listing, and why you're the perfect candidate for the position. "Your job listing mentioned that you need a te

Depends on your use. For hashing passwords for storage you want slow. For creating unique ids of files or something, fast can be very beneficial.

I'll definitely add that as a blog-post topic in the future. I can summarize a few lessons I learned here though: 1) just because people like using something for free, doesn't mean even 1% of them will be willing to pay anything for it. Hi

Sure, if you already know all of those things, and can do keyword research, etc... Many small business owners don't and can't. Hence the need for a service.

I'm 28, and while I have a number of failed startup companies/ideas in my past, my current one is a success (although it may not meet the criteria of a startup here, it's a small LLC that I've "started up"). The reason it's a success is th

Give me an AppleTV that will output 1080p HDMI, do high quality upscaling, and will play not only my iTMS content, but also stream a wide range of other codecs and containers (divx, mkv, etc..) from any source on my LAN, and has a DVD drive

Is the global economy melt-down the USA's fault?

Mantis is an improvement over Bugzilla, for sure. However we saw huge performance problems once we hit the 50k issue level. It was also much more difficult to modify than Jira (which we moved to). Although I guess among free options Trac

I haven't gotten to use FogBugz so I can't compare the use of the UIs. AJAX would be really nice, although I haven't had any performance issues. We replaced Mantis and Bugzilla with Jira at one place I was at, and it was significantly fas

Jira is fantastic, but not open source (although you do get a copy of the source when you buy it).

Can anyone compare FogBugz with Jira (my current fav)?

Absolutely. I often have friends who are working for, or contractors for some company, and get a great opportunity presented to them, and say "but I can't leave MegaCorp, I've only been there for a year, and I don't want to let people down

I'm hoping that we see a big shift in the high-tech field away from big companies toward a network of small entrepreneur-driven companies that do one thing, and do it really well. Working with a network of people I trust, who are proactive

This sums up my thoughts far better than my rambling comment: "Are corporate managers really that outraged that people in their 20s want to be treated like human beings?" Exactly!

While I sure there are a lot of "entitled" feeling people entering the work force, and frankly some of the examples they provided are simply idiots, I think the article is really missing the point. The employment field has changed dramatica

Use a ticketing system or issue tracker that creates tickets based off of e-mail (I like Jira personally). Setup an auto-reply to let them know their e-mail was received, and someone is looking into it. If your ticketing system is world f

correct, the cert is for the domain, however in your CL posting you said you needed multiple domain virtual hosting. The cert is specific to a mail server hostname. It really depends on how you want the actual MX record and outgoing mail

You should borrow one from a friend and try it for a few hours. I thought I'd hate it, but I absolutely love it. I've never had glare issues in an environment that wouldn't have totally washed out my old matte MacBookPro anyhow. For my us

I'm not sure you can support TLS (SSL) on multiple domains, at least not without running different postfix instances on unique IP:ports for each domain. Unless you're just using sub-domains and have a wildcard cert. It's the same issue you

Firewire 400 is pretty well known to generally be faster for high bandwidth data transfers than USB 2.0 despite USB's higher theoretical speed. http://www.usb-ware.com/firewire-vs-usb.htm http://www.barefeats.com/usb2.html

Personally, I run postfix and uw-imap (although there are many good imap options out there) on a dedicated server. It's easy, very solid, and I can do all kinds of neat tricks with it as needed. Plus if ever goes down, I can go in and fix

When taken too far, sure. But honestly if you can't use your money to spend more time doing things you love, and less time doing things you hate, then what's the point?

Great points! I'd like to reiterate the get enough sleep point. It's easy to try to get in another hour of startup work before bed, but being in any sort of sleep debt will MASSIVELY impact your actual productivity. One thing I always lik
