It'll cost you a little bit of cash, but why not Amazon Web Services?

For anyone shopping for a great chair, I am totally in love with my Steelcase Think chair. It adjusts to anyone who sits in it, so it can be used by multiple people and the settings are extremely easy to set, unlike the Aeron. For the eco-c

I support my buddy's business by using one of his dedicated servers: http://wdservers.com He runs his own sites and needs a lot of server power, but also leases out to his contacts (me) and the people they refer.

It's actually been proven that shorter, high-intensity, workouts are the most effective. People who work out longer can actually shrink their hearts a slightly over time, where as high-intensity (i.e.: Sprinting at 90% for 30 seconds, joggi

Basecamp was made in 37signals' part time. If you have an idea or the willpower, you don't have to wait to graduate from college.

it does spread damage of course. I found several situations where I'd equip multiple shotguns and sit in a corner and let all the bugs come at me. :D

I bought the game. Not just because it's a product of News.YC members, but because it's really fun. After beating it, I think it would be more fun if... 1. later versions of each gun is more or less equal in power, but each have different p

I've been considering getting two of these for my monitors: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824183... It's an addition I'll have to add on later, but I think having the space available will be very worth it.

I've been using a folding metal chair for the past year, which is probably the largest cause of said pains. I'm currently shopping for a much more suitable chair.

Do you find your wrists/arms starting to hurt while using the table? I've had two desks in the past I felt were too tall because the strain it put on my forearms and carpal tunnel. Lately my hands and arms have been feeling over-strained; a

I'm thinking of buying a 30" wide door and attaching some metal pipes as legs and calling it a day. I you said, it can be customized later and it will be more than large enough to hold all of my papers, screens, etc. My father also suggests

I'm all for very affordable desks, but what I meant was the materials that seemingly fall apart from normal every day use. Cheap quality.

Make something of value. It's as simple as that. People will pay for something that they think is worth their money. When I made www.friendfury.com it went completely viral and made $600 the first 8 hours and about $200 a day for a few mont

I think people focus too much on the wheres and hows and who's too much when coming up with an idea and building it. What it comes down to is -will you actually bring this idea into a reality-? Get it made. Get it out. Then move if the need

My partner and I created http://www.friendfury.com back when Myspace was growing popular in 2 days, placed it on some $10/mo shared hosting, and generated $680 within the first 8 hours. You don't need the best equipment; just enough to ma

I've definitely had this happen to me. Another great experience (though you'll want to kill someone during it) is working with horrible co-workers. I've found my tolerance is huge after working with difficult people and dealing with them is

I'll definitely point him to TechStars. And you're definitely right. A lot of companies and people undervalue hackers, and don't really see their value beyond a particular skill set they have which can be used as a means to an end; hackers

I'd say it's not so much he's trying to get people to follow his ideas, but rather looking for people who are really into the work.

I think if you're going to be using his idea, it's bad taste to use him as the designer and only give him a few %. If you're going to copy his idea, which you've said he's already started bringing into reality, then offer nothing and prepar

I think they could be used together. If the technology is applicable and useful, just because there are other avenues opening up doesn't mean we should discount this one simply because the -potential- for something greater is there.

I wonder if they pull a profit from that campaign. That's likely a pricey keyword. Humor value aside, I'll wager it's not very effective.
