Not to mention countries like Germany, where you are required by law to make your address public. Honestly, I've always viewed whois protection as a huge scam. Those who really want your address can get it with trivial ease, and those who d

They are forgetting the most powerful story of all: "I am making a lot of money."

I'm 17 and started seriously only a year ago. Although I agree that starting at 18 is not a death knell, I think it is a serious inhibitor to success. The later you start programming, the more you postpone your career. I look around at some

I agree. There are people with far superior resumes who will work for less. Frankly, I think he realizes that he won't get much work charging what he is going to charge. This seems to be a publicity stunt and nothing more.

You're missing the point. Clients can't justify hiring him for such an exorbitant rate because his claim to fame is somewhat mediocre.

It wasn't their goal to cater to as many users as possible. Their goal was to build a MVP as quickly as possible.

I agree that there isn't much that Apple has done lately that has been truly groundbreaking. The last time that I was really surprised by Apple was the iPhone 4. That said, it's totally unreasonable to assert that Apple is declining because

This might work for the small investors. However, they are only currently admitting people with an annual income of 200k or a net worth of 1m. These "accredited investors" are probably in an economic position to just start investing in com

Marco is far more negative then Ben Brooks. Whereas I think Ben plays up the negativity because it's his shtick, Marco is just genuinely very sarcastic, passive-aggressive and negative in general.

I've done the same. It's more so because he seems very passive -aggressive and often offers no support for his views. It's not that his views are necessarily wrong, but most everything he writes is an assertion with no evidence or something

I think the notion of having a steep penalty isn't necessarily bad. My problem is how he implements it. It's totally unreasonable to charge someone %10 if they're 15 minutes late. It's even more unreasonable to implement the same penalties

Most of what I've learned has been out of necessity because I'm building something. My strongest suits are CSS3, HTML, JS. My current internship is working exclusively with these. I know JQuery to a moderate extent, but I tend not to use i

The CSS part is particularly interesting, and has a ton of potential. But frankly, I don't like nor would I use a proprietary library like this. Also, I don't see why they need Kickstarting at all. If they are going to sell the product, the

I don't understand why people get all bent out of shape when software they use gets shut down. At the end of the day, it's just one app. They're are plenty of other options for email clients, and god knows better ones will come out in the f

This seems like it would be more of a hindrance than a help. Implementing anything to force yourself to code is a good indicator that you really don't want to code in the first place, and is just going to encourage you to write perfunctory

It's not vapor-ware. It's already in the hands of thousands of people. It's shipping in 2-3 weeks, which is less of a wait than a Retina MBP. Based on the fact that it's already out there and being written about profusely, there's definitel

Still, making good products is a tactic, not a philosophy. Apple doesn't put the effort into making good products because they want to make people happy, they do it because that's what sells. Any notion that Apple has altruistic motives is

Is that not what the kid did, just after getting fired?

I don't understand why it would look bad that the company is trying to recover what belongs to them. The kid refusing to give up the password definitely puts him in the wrong.

I feel somewhat the same. I'm 16 and have only been doing this for 2 years. I know several people my age who have been doing this much longer and who have had way more monetary success in doing so. I'd say I have a decent amount of talent,

This is cool, but it's nothing new. Unroll came out months ago. In fact, the focus of the product is more as a newsletter aggregator, which is and of itself a cool concept. I've been using it, and it works to a certain extent. It's not per

Although the lawsuit is bullshit, I would probably be really happy if the oatmeal were to get sued out of existence. I try to stay away from it as much as possible, but of the handful of things I've seen there, they were all trollish and en
