Thanks for the clarification. Should have read more carefully.

I've heard passing reference to this bug before, in the form of "you can't attach unlimited window.onload events", but I've never seen anyone run into it in practice. Glad to see its fixed though. Wish I had a neighbor who worked for MS. ;)

Me too! www.voyij.com is the closest I've seen. Really glad one of the bigger sites started doing this too.

A few tips, in addition to Patrick's excellent advice. 1) Make a nice portfolio. That's the #1 thing people will look at on your site. Do a free site for a charity if you have nothing to show (do your homework too - there's a lot of local b

I don't think he meant it was inappropriate to submit, but that he's concerned for your health. It sounds like you've got it under control, but it is really good advice - smart people w/ Google can make good guesses at most questions, but y

Put in my email for an invite, its going to come down to pricing. My initial skepticism is that deploying PHP apps is easy, and Fantastico already gives us 1-click installs for stuff like Drupal and Wordpress. So you'll have to provide all

Reminds me of hashcash and other proof-of-work challenges. Nice post Patrick!

Wow, great catch. Additionally, the software business which was spun off became Flexera (InstallShield), who are one of the nastiest groups of folks I've ever tried to do business with.

Looks amazing. Ordered mine, can't wait to see it in person.

Indeed. The submitter's account is 1 hour old, and has already submitted 2 spammy websites.

Hey, I hear ya. That sucks that you're having a bad time with it. Honestly, I live in Outlook, so I only use the web client in a pinch. I like it better than Gmail, but perhaps with heavy use and a small quota it starts to show its warts.

Well put. FWIW, the IE Developer Toolbar is free, and takes some of the pain out of IE6. Its a terrible clone of Firebug, but its better than nothing. http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/details.aspx?familyid=E59...

FWIW, we used hosted Exchange from MS: http://microsoft.com/online/ Its $5/user/month, 25GB storage, great webmail client, and hands down the best support I've ever gotten.

Couple of tips: 1) Look for people who are good writers (prose and such). They tend to be good communicators. 2) Look for programmers who admit their areas of weakness. 3) As always, you're probably worrying about scaling way too early. Bes

I love this idea and here's why: Whenever I go to clean a friend's slow computer its not the malware and spyware thats slowing it down - its all the random QuickCam and digital camera softwares, or the TurboTax updater thats running all the

Wow, that is wild. I bought that same deal off woot.com (although I think I paid $120). We've been using it for about 4 years now, and are also still on the initial half-filled cartridge. Probably the best woot I've ever bought.

Looking at it from a money perspective is backwards. The idea is to pay your living expenses so that you can focus, not give you any kind of salary (at least that's my understanding). The rate seems like a good commitment filter as is.

This is pretty great actually, nice job. I like single purpose sites like this. Couple of things: 1) Maybe just show the box score instead of "click for details". Its not much detail, so it seems pointless to require the extra click. 2) Is

Good questions, I wondered the same. Here's my assumptions: 1) If the user already has a VP8 codec on the machine, it will use that. 2) One way to get the codec would be installing an IE9 plugin, similar to how you have to install a plugin

The difference is striking. This is a great tip, thank you for sharing.

You're welcome! Real thanks of course goes to woid[1], who made it. Being able to see the data stored with jQuery.data() in Firebug's HTML inspector is just awesome. Comes in handy all the time. [1] http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=woid

My feedback is all design related, but I like your idea. Homepage Slideshow: - The screenshots are hard to read. The perspective looks nice, but I'd prefer a straight on shot. - Font used in captions is hard to read. - Once a user interacts

Doesn't seem to be drawn to scale. For instance, @LevelTen_Colin's square (bottom left) is the same size as @snookca's square (bottom center), despite Colin having 7k followers compared to Snook's 15k.

" your product has little other purpose outside of copyright infringement" That's the killer right there. LimeWire needed to show a fair use of its product, and failed to do so.
