This article is pretty short on costing details. Silverlight encoding aside (because that's competely unrelated to asp.net mvc deployment) you can deploy web sites really cheap on the microsoft stack. Windows Web Server: $400 SQL Server Exp

And the standard open source response is "fork it". Are you prevented from building your own java with closure support and distributing it? When ubuntu recently altered where window icons appear there was a lot of complaining even though li

I think I've only heard of two of those (mint and docstoc) - and they're not sites I use. Getting some venture capital, which is hard enough in itself, doesn't seem to be any kind of decent predictor of success. This SaS business is a tough

I don't understand how this counts as fraud. Ticket master got paid for their tickets by the purchasers right? Today at Old Navy they were offering 20% off my jeans if I gave them my email address. Should I go to jail for giving them an inv

Q: "You've called Microsoft the IBM of the '90s. What exactly do you mean by that?" A: "They're the mainstream. And a lot of people who don't want to think about it too much are just going to buy their product. " I wonder if that makes Appl

I chose a pretty easy to remember domain name for my game site - two words that describe what it does and are easy to spell. Yet most of the visitors I get (80% who are frequent repeat visitors) actually come from google by typing the domai
