Same for me. Nginx does everything Apache does, only with a little less clunk.

I haven't used Pivotal, although I understand Pivotal is more of an agile project management tool. It measures burn down rates, velocity etc... even if it does do issue tracking as part of that, it's probably not reasonable to compare. A li

Or are they not interested and just wasting our time? You can expect to have to meet lots of investors, many of them several times over before you actually manage to secure any funding. The ones you meet that don't work out aren't wasting

It depends on where you are from. I think in America "lease" is more correct, but in many other English speaking countries, "lease" is the name of the legal contract, and "you rent apartments" is perfectly OK.

It's surprising that this event has been so badly misreported by the general media. I've read so much BS, e.g. "boric acid is a fire retardant", that I've been quite put off following the event in the press. Wikipedia has been cited by New

I don't disagree with any of that, except that no one has claimed that Twitter's issues are, "unprecedented". Once again I will reiterate I am just pointing out that ck2's summation of Twitter understates the complexity of the problem they

Yes, for about 5 years I wouldn't buy anything but Nokia. And it wasn't because of the hardware, it was because the interface / usability was leagues ahead of the rest.

That is a bold statement, but I think MeeGo would be a better bet for Nokia. Maintain ownership and control of the software layer of the Nokia products. Software is where innovation, differentiation and shareholder value can most easily be

Twitter.com is probably one of the great engineering feats of todays social Internet. You tweet from your mobile phone app (maintained by twitter) or twitter.com, and that tweet gets posted on your public timeline. The tweet is parsed for m

I suspect you are baiting us but I'll bite. > Our way of life is better. I think you are making a massive assumption. What do you know about their life? How do you know they don't love the forest as if it is their own mother and father?

Great to see some young folk lurking here. These whipper snappers will have a head-start over us 30/40/50 somethings. TL/DR: "There was nothing like Hacker News in my day"

I've gone full circle in the last few years regarding my choice of desktop. I used to love only Linux. Then I bought a mac, and thought OSX was the shizz. But more recently, I've been tending to use Linux more, and more and more. I'm not su

More importantly, is this person the right co-founder for you? What skills do you lack? Do you trust them? Whatever the deal, assume you own all the equity to start with, and they have to buy shares to become cofounder. It doesn't really ma
