So you have no plan to make money for the entire year of 2009? Are you running a business or a charity?

If you're dumb enough to pay money for this, you're dumb enough that your site will never make any money. The only ones who will get rich from this are the owners of the site - they are selling you a dream, and you are paying for it. Spend

Why are you not making money off the sale? For example by using a referral code to a domain registration service?

It's totally dying. I got the memo, maybe you're further down the line than me. Wait a year or two, the memo will arrive at your desk soon.

Web apps were a temporary fad. They are good for some type of applications that are similar to document based (e.g facebook, flickr, HN news), but for others, web apps are terrible (twitter, photo editing, making phone calls). There is spac

You don't get what I mean. YouTube is representative of the general internet, and by extension, the general attitude of people. The cool thing about the internet is that one person cannot change it all. Everyones voice is equal. Nobody can

Well said, yet completely wrong. People are thinking this stuff, so why should they not say it? The internet is different from real life - everyone with an opinion lands here, and can give their honest opinion. Let them give it, for those o

This is the most stupid essay I have read in my life. Most scientific advances have not been made in democratic governments - The old Islamic Discoveries, the old Chinese Discoveries, the old European Discoveries were all made under King-li

This does not mean that C++ is difficult. It just means that you may be used to easier languages, and your brain is not flexible enough to deal with C++.

What's the hard part of the syntax compared to a language like ruby? Interfaces? Classes? Inheritance? Templates? Exceptions? Ruby has equivalent interface elements, and there is not much of a difference in difficulty level between learning

If you cannot learn C++, you are either plain old stupid or you don't belong in programming. C++ is very easy, the syntax is picked up in a week, and you can work without any libraries, you mostly just need to learn the API of the host syst

Let's not jump to conclusions here. Maybe they are just saving money to make their own web 2.0 todo list app, so they can finally get rich.

Linux fails because the creators are too arrogant. They want people to switch, but remember, those people were doing fine before you came along. If you want people to switch, compell them with something they want. All linux gives is problem

I hate working from home now also, after doing it from near to 8 years. It sucks, it's lonely and it's difficult to get motivated. Also, you are in an insular bubble, you are not exposed to different ideas, and the years tend to repeat them

Haha, top down approach that will fail as surely as I wipe my ass after going to the toilet. You think you have discovered something new and hidden and sweet - well, hundreds of people have found it before you, and they have silently failed

It is very successful actually. It's one of the top classified sites in most countries - if you are so narrow minded that you only look at one country, then that is your main problem as an entrepreneur.

He's right in that if your motivation is to make a million bucks, you will give up very quickly, because the road there is too long. If you are just some poor ass person who is tired of being poor, you will also fail. The only crowd that wi

Reading IS dying. Even I, who used to read a hella lot of books are reading a lot less books (but reading a lot more in general), and my attention span is really short now.

Also factor in the times you say stuff like "in my business", or "in my area" without explicitely mentioning your software. Such statements seem to be you begging us to check your profile to see what your business is. Maybe just 7% of your

This is not a rags to riches stories. This is the story of how a guy with a silver spoon rose to get a golden spoon. I'm not saying it's bad, but it's just not too helpful to those who did not start off with such good cards.

A friend of mine works in the military, and he says that there is good pay on short term contracts at the moment in Iraq. I could get you in contact with him if you're interested. It's much safer than one would think actually.
