Another awesome thing about Amazon payments is that they don't charge you anything to send an invoice and accept payment with a personal account. I think paypal takes something like 3%.

I don't think this is a bad idea, and would vote for this to happen in my state. The problem is that if only one state does this at significant expense, they won't see any appreciable benefit because the rest of the states and the rest of t

I think the best way to go about learning, especially because he is young, would be to have something that he wants to build and then to learn what he needs to do it. Maybe a game, a facebook app, a chatbot, or if he has an idea for a web

Well I am not surprised that you are not treated well but I am surprised it's not racial. I am American and I apologize for what it is worth.. I think there is still quite a bit of lingering overreaction to 9/11.

I find this offensive.. I don't live in San Francisco and I can't speak to the specific situation there, but people are not parasites. And if you are categorizing things into 'productive' and 'non productive', what kind of net benefit to so

I don't want to weigh in on the flash/javascript debate, but couldn't you repeatedly change the src on a hidden image with get variables in the url?

I don't think they are, I got a G2 phone for free on contract from t-mobile a few weeks ago, and the Droid X is $20 on Amazon. I would imagine the production costs are similar, or lower, for Apple though and that they are just operatig with

But the most expensive parts (processor, lcd, batteries, ram, flash memory) are for the most part commodity items. I would imagine Apple has some negotiating power buying huge volumes, but getting them 50-75% cheaper than Samsung?

Why is he in at a better valuation than YC? From what I read it seemed like he loans 150k for an option to be repayed in stock at whatever valuation they take their first round of funding at? YC's 30k goes in at somthing like a 0.5 millio

Does anyone have any experience using corona? How well does it work, how full featured is it, etc?

Another point is that once a civilization becomes advanced enough to be capable of intergalactic travel, maybe its resource needs change. The earth is great for us, but who says aliens have any need to visit here.

It is relativity, but the problem is that most people here don't understand that the parties are center right and far right relative to most other developed countries.

Hmm, I agree about the links. I am on a desktop and the sign up link is right at the bottom of the screen. On a laptop it would be hidden. Other than that, I like you art and design quite a bit more than a prefab theme. If you do try it,

I am American.. I am not an expert, but my my impression is that the United States will inevitably be less wealthy then it is now relative to other countries in the world. I think the primary reason for this will be growth in developing co

I think they could find your search terms from the referring url, but I am not sure how they are able to get their pages with your terms into the search results and get the terms into their meta description. They must just have compiled hug

There are some epigenetic changes like DNA methylation that can be inherited from parents and effect gene expression in children. Things like diet, smoking, and the age of a mother almost certainly have some effect on the development of he

I don't think Steve Jobs can take credit for MP3 players existing. If people weren't using Ipods and Iphones, they would be using Diamond Rios and Blackberrys that were pretty similar.

This just seems sad and kind of mean to me. I think it would be funnier if it was 'it sucks to be fat', and the stories were submitted by fat people about themselves.
