About the visitors on launch day ... It really depends on your community niche. When you have absolutely run out of ideas, hire people on MechanicalTurk to post on your site. Be warned though that most of the posts will be rubbish, and of t

This is true. So very true. Another rookie mistake to avoid, is fragmentation. Say you want to start a forum on topic X. Just have a forum for X till you gain traction. A mistake many people make, is to have subforums X1, X2, X3, etc, from

Intel had better make this an opt-in, and then opt-in again option. AMD will clean house otherwise. The number of use cases where this can go horribly wrong, either due to malice, or indeed because of an Intel software update error far outw

Was talking to my brother about this earlier today, and I was saying the exact same thing. As a purchase goes, it is totally pointless. Even as a golf course ... it would be a very boring course. Given the size of the thing, the crew you wo

Well, good luck. Do not necessarily do one project at a time though. Keep a list of things you want to work on. Whenever you find yourself needing to take a break from the main project, chip away at one of the secondary projects. You might

The thing is, a lot of people will use them as single use devices. They will just have very different 'single' uses for them. Let's start with the iPod. Everyone uses it to listen to stuff. My brother listens to rap music, almost exclusivel

Another vote for including the IP address. Facebook too. In fact, I think all apps should start displaying the IP addresses of the last FIXNUM attempts to log-in, successful or not.
