i think its more an issue with the fact that our older food pyramid has trained people to eat lots of carbs, and carbs are a staple in many american meals. over the course of the day, you can eat a lot of carbs if you're not paying attenti

really? crap, i must've misread something then. my fault. looks like you can use skype on most android phones anyway, though, just not as easily/freely as on verizon. regardless, though, i think my original point still stands. skype has

it is, but it has been on the market for almost 6 months. verizon is pushing out the new, heavily marketed phones right now.

i honestly don't know the details of the current US laws, but i do know that i've worked in a team with reasonably permanent, in-house contractors before.

verizon is the only one pushing out big new android phones right now, though, iirc.

depends on what you're pitching. 10 deposits on a $5/mo service might not carry much weight to a VC. but 10 letters of intent on a more expensive b2b service is golden.

they seem to be getting pushed pretty hard on new android phones. i know that a big marketing point of the droid x is skype international calling.

just whining. he could, instead, hire freelance or contract workers. he won't have to pay much to the government, he'll just have to pay the contractor double what he pays Sally.

practice (keep coding, work on your own projects, work on projects with others), and go find someone who you know to be "good" and read their code. it really is about that simple.

there are other auction sites online. why aren't you using them, then? its not like ebay is literally the only online auction house. serious question, btw. not hypothetical.

critical mass is a good way of describing it, but it doesn't quite cover the nuances. you have to build a good site that has comparable features that lures both the sellers and the buyers at the same time. if sellers don't like your featu

again, that isn't my point. i'm not arguing about what is or isn't DRM. here: >"We released the game DRM-free which means it doesn’t include any anti-piracy protection, therefore the game doesn’t bother players serial codes or online

ideological or circumstantial pirates will pirate. they're the people who will never buy your product. you won't make money from them, ever.

i'm not really trying to make an argument about privacy and your rights online type of stuff. i'm just trying to make note of the fact that if you do have something that phones home, can you really say that your product is totally free and

well, i mean, i know that doing that action is trivial, but isn't a pingback a light form of registration/drm/etc.?

alternatively, bid on a fixed-bid project for 50k, and spend the 25k on help to ensure that it gets done.

i'm honest, didn't pirate it, and will likely pay the 1/4 price to buy it. i would likely not pay the full price for it.

if there's no registration, DRM, popup messages, etc., then i wonder how they got the 90% number. i didn't pirate it, but i'd probably buy this game at $5. for what it is, a shorter single player, point-and-click puzzle game, i don't know

an application that is large, redundant, complex, and build to do lots of different things; costs a lot of money/resources; and is subsequently configured and customized down to fit the needs of the customer.

i agree about the price in general, but i was kind of aiming towards giving him fast advice for his side project. i'm fairly confident he'll sell something to the single buyer at the $1CPM rate. if he wants to rake in more customers and a

perhaps. if you sell by the month, you've locked someone into paying for the full month. if you sell by the week, someone might pay for a week and then quit. depends on how much effort you're willing to put into ad sales/maintenance.

this is a side project, so don't overcomplicate this. charge a lump sum for a length of time that will approximate the pageveiws at a rate you think is fair, but more than what you're making now (ex: €500/mo @ €1 CPM). if more people start

i have not done it, but just seeing this as a product makes me want to try and replicate it: http://www.nightbrighttyre.com/about/

getting the items and branding them? not difficult, really. if i'm reading this right, though, you're basically trying to assign a real-life value to karma points, and that will kill this (or any) community.

its my understanding groups that had to do a high level of collaboration across several people found it pretty useful. i know some people that still use it for this and are happy, although i'm sure that if it closes down, they'll find anot

unfortunate. it was a good product, for the right market, but it was overhyped and it underdelivered.

i agree. the 99designs logo just doesn't look right in that position, with that site design. i could imagine that if the site itself were designed differently to match the logo better, it might find a higher level of success.

seems like this would be an awesome opportunity for someone willing to start a business and dispel some of the apathy by hiring the kids in the trouble situations. a focal point to induce some change. especially if the laws are generally
