Which begs the question why doesn't Posterous use multiple proxies from various providers. Perhaps they are now - but it seems too late for other Rackspace clients.

Why is that a terrible approach? It seems to have worked. If a wound is bleeding profusely - you put a cloth on it. Sure it doesn't heal you, but it is hardly a terrible approach.

EVA is an example of an airline that I would specifically choose due to quality, where I normally optimize based on price because I sleep the entire flight. They have a lot of direct flights. From Toronto-Taipei that means the difference b

I think one of the biggest benefits of physical work is that you can more easily turn it completely off. You have to be in your garage to be woodworking for example. You can't be on the couch with your wife pretending to watch a movie with

I would agree - the money spent on hotels probably doesn't stay as local as money spent on food and entertainment. Really an unrelated issue though.

Getting money out of China is pretty easy and it seems everyone with a lot of RMB does it.

Looking quickly at your product - here is my advice. Raising funding will be hard for this type of product. MS Access for the web is an extremely hard business model to raise any funding for. You have a platform you can build stuff in - w

Which won't happen in the next 5 years. (just so someone can come back and quote at one of us in 6 months...) Now seems like a reasonable time looking at the fundamentals and ignoring the antenna issue.

Agreed - If I ever retire from paying work - I will still be working.

If you are poor and old in Canada, you will not get the quality of life you want from the public system alone. You will get the medical care you need, and won't go without food, shelter and basic care.

She has always been active in the community. Since retiring she has volunteered at the hospital, nursing homes and in the community 5 days a week. Combine that with her great-grandchildren and she is working a busy schedule!

My grandmother is in her 90s and mentally she is at 100%. She gets around a little slower now. That is a scary thought for some. She retired in her 50s!

For Django look at open source apps. Registration is a good one to start. There are enough high quality apps to give you an idea of best practices.

I have a Bold 9700 and the wifey has an iphone. I get much better reception than her in bad areas. I also get much better reception and network switching while travelling.

I wouldn't advise arguing against capitalism while drunk. What does the amount they charged for their product have to do with anything? Pricing is influenced by the market - the market was willing to pay what they were being charged. I do

I don't know why this is being voted down - it is a valid point of view and historically significant! There are pros and cons to different tax models. A lot of US history has contained very high tax rates for the highly wealthy. This was t

Given our economical system - it is a certainty that certain individuals will be so wealthy they can afford anything. The inevitable is hardly wrong!

Of course - which is why I would see it makes sense for differentiating between people with children. It is somehow of more consequence that a mother misses 3 months of a child's life than a father?

I really don't think that equality in genders means that 50% of YC applicants (or any particular career choice) should be women (or men). "I want a Y Combinator for women" is an incredibly ignorant comment. First, it suggests that YC someh

I was really surprised they didn't launch a fark style "TotalReddit" with a monthly subscription fee. Learn from them - allow the subscription to be giftable so popular users get memberships from people who dont mind paying a lot per month.

Very accurate - I think this is a must read for anyone embarking on a new startup. I see a lot of these issues all the time, but sifting these out and articulating them this concisely is very difficult. I can also see these issues created t

Very ambitious. I mean this in a jealous way. It will probably take 20 years and a billion dollars - but both seem miniscule if the project is successful.

That is unfortunate about your friend. Helmets seem to be all or nothing. If there is a law forcing them, 95% of people wear helmets. If there isn't, 95% of people don't wear a helmet. You would expect people to carefully consider it and

True. How about safety and parking there? Both are important factors. Rain isn't much of an issue. Being from Toronto, the cold and snow are big deterrents. But safety is the biggest concern for me, even riding a bike in a bike lane is

As someone who is currently riding a moped in 100 degree weather in Asia right now - I really don't mind the helmet. You really don't notice it. Hopping on a moped and heading anywhere, parking anywhere really is quite enjoyable. It is un

No big deal - I was laughing about it a few minutes later. I don't think I was ever seriously at risk with a life jacket on and plenty of other boats very close. But through the rapids - 10 feet away can mean you can't reach the person for

If you are in the middle of a lake and not a fairly well trained swimmer - it is really dangerous advice to try to drag them to shore and avoid their grasp. The swimmer could easily grab on to you and drown you both. Don't underestimate a
