Documentation that overwhelms a new developer does not make a product less in functionality or quality. Googling code examples, explanations, and blogs of PayPal recurring payment code/functionality, I found a lot of very useful information

I have not had any problems implementing/using PayPal recurring payments. What specific "less than awesome" functionality are you referring to and how are the other products better? Not challenging you, just looking for a more rounded pictu

Are you willing to implement a layaway program instead? If so, you can implement a transaction tool like PayPal to initiate recurring monthly payments. If the user cancels, you can refund the balance. When the product is paid in full, you s

Why would you open yourself up to that level of liability? Full PCI compliance is a standard that will be used by businesses to determine if your product is a viable solution. If your solution breaks PCI compliance at any point, you open yo

Firefox reports this as a bad site, "Reported Attack Site!". Cannot be good for their business when people click the back button.

Did you catch the superbowl commercials last night? Done well, humor can be a key component of a marketing strategy.

A failed startup is not necessarily a bad thing. Depends on a lot of factors like how far it got, what funding was used, and challenges that were overcome. A person who has business, financing, customer, technical, and product management ex

Do most start-up founders really end up making a choice between the start-up and their relationship/family? Are there examples of people who haven successfully been able to maintain the energy in both? If not, that's pretty depressing.

Sounds like you have an application worth selling back to Teuxdeux or releasing yourself after "tweaking" the UI so as not to steal from them. Just took an overview of their product and your additions seem like good ideas.

Without realizing the dreams of a penthouse or private planes in the immediate future, I would suggest you act like a 20 year old making their initial 401k contributions. Invest aggressively. Investments regularly hit 10-15% annual return.

The site is public and indexed by Google within hours. What ethical dilemma is there in quoting or analyzing what is public information? As long as it is not slanderous. If you are still feeling guilty, post a comment to the HN conversation

Ideas are rarely unique anymore. The real question is can you turn a profit? If yes, what hurtles are in place that stopped other people from already doing it? If this site helps gauge the business impact of an idea, great. Sharing the solu

If you are using C#, you are using a Windows box. But you can tie into Oracle using the ODBC connection. Maybe it depends on your specific needs, but I am not sure why you would want any products you develop (regardless of the programming l
