   This was a big one for us too, which is why we did half and half. We contracted enough to get by, but also spent a lot of time working on our own projects on the side. What eventually happened though is the contract work slowly took over mo

   Elance got us a lot of ongoing work, believe it or not. It seems like a tool for finding people in Russia to do your work for cheap, but a profile on Elance (at least a few years ago, mind you) got my brother and I two very large, ongoing c

   Honestly, never had to deal with any of these. My brother and I would only work for people who had the money and knew what they wanted up front. We were very straightforward (and firm) about our rates, and if someone didn't pay us on time,

   I noticed there is no Common Lisp or Scheme. Both are great languages for apps/web.

   I feel like I have to jump in here. The worst clients I've ever had (and also the worst clients other businesses I've worked with have had) are the ones you do charity work for (family included). When people aren't paying for something, the

   I'd like to point out that although I believe my arguments stand, it is very important that people do realize that monitoring is there, so if they do have a problem they can take steps to prevent it. Mac, I think it's a valiant cause to c

   Thanks for your reply. While I don't deny the existence of flagging of voice and text communications (this has been a well-known fact for years), my point was not "no, they aren't watching." My point was "yes, they are watching...but who ca

   Title should be "EVERYONE, everything you do ONLINE is monitored." Also, webcams don't switch themselves on. This is ridiculous. First off, the government doesn't give a rat's ass about you. You are not even a number on a list. You are a nu

    This works because only a terrorist would not like going through security. If you are not a terrorist, you have nothing to hide, and airport security is an enjoyable experience for everyone. U-S-A!! U-S-A!!!

    Agreed. If running a server, I'd choose Debian or Slackware over Ubuntu any day.

    I love the design. It's clean, simple, and NOT all web 2.0 with clouds in the background. It's a bit text-heavy, but honestly I think this is fine. Most of the time when I see a site for a product, I want to read about what it does, not sif
