Even if you do not end up doing comp. sc., don't leave it like this. Win it and then leave it. BTW, if you are interested in speaking to someone, you can send me an email and I will share my phone number. I am in India too and probably can

I am going to offer a straight advice. How about Tech Journalism. I think you are more of an observer for now (and its a good thing). It will suit you (my guess).

A (not so much of a suggestion) different take. Why not get a mac mini if portability is not too much of a requirement. Its priced around $600 and will serve you really well for years to come. You can also run VM on it without worrying abou

I would like to mention mediatemple.net. I have been using them for quite a while and they seem to be really good. But my requirement are also very limited. Just register a domain and occasionally fiddle with the name server settings. PS: t

I would say take to offensive. Its not the revenge I am talking about. Its the fact that its extremely important to not let those teachers ruin any more money and life/career (in some cases). One possible path: Go talk to your college's adm

hey throwaway, I was in a similar situation sometime ago. Fortunately or not, I got a job eventually. But I am surprised that you being worried about your visa was seen as such a pesty behavior (actually its not and I am not going to explai

I would suggest C followed by C++ (for the STL and other library). I think every programmer should learn C/C++ at some point. Don't ask me for reasons for thinking so. Just a feeling.

Its a difficult market to crack I guess. Selling stuff which you don't use is a task which requires lots of discipline (its like keeping your backyard clean). You're trying to build a business on top of people's habit of avoiding to do such

You are correct. I am not very well versed with HN. I saw a poll recently which was done like this and I liked that. Although now I see that that was using the poll feature which I cannot use as of now. I too hope someone thinks its an inte

I like the idea very much. In fact this could be extremely useful if you tweak it a little bit. How about instead of waiting and controlling the time speed etc. the app itself keeps playing the tweets along with its duration from the last t

first of all I don't think its wise to really say demeaning words about some profession (its the oldest profession and still running many people's house). secondly, there is nothing like an obvious patent, if a patent is defensible then its

exactly, thats just too costly. I mean it should really not be this expensive. Why email hosting is being charged per mailbox I do not understand. The maintenance is not per mailbox. Its per mail server and hence should be the costing.

There are many companies doing this for bulk email sending like sendgrid, mailjet, mailchimp etc. but no one is doing it for hosting emails with bulk pricing.

The user base might be really huge. So, solutions such as google apps are not financially viable. Hosting your own server might be a pain. Please share any experience (exactly how painful is that). Both cloud based and server based are opti

Thats cool to know. I recently made a choice of incorporating in California. I loved your response. It cleared up all the possible confusions in my mind. Great to know that I can merge it into another corporation if the need be later on. Th
