I found the movie's funding model far more interesting than the spin about why IMDb.

I agree. The sentence a few paragraphs in tells a very different story to the headline: IMDb told the team that if a movie is not set up with a production company with a history of theatrically released movies, getting it listed at the ear

15 minutes that would be better spent writing code? :)

Something not mentioned here is that you also get an idea of someone's "cultural fit" by looking at their code. I think code can provide an insight into personality, especially into work related character traits.

What are people's thoughts on peer-to-peer startup funding? Is it ever going to happen? By that I mean raising money with a larger number of smaller inputs from a marketplace or similar. Potentially still in exchange for equity though also

I was trying to support reasonable use of editorial. I was not supporting "linkbait" editorial. There is a big difference. The poster referenced a piece of the article. He/she did no use gratuitous link bait like "* * * TOP 5 DOMAIN CHOOSIN

It is editorialized, but I would not have followed a link titled "Domain Names" as it does not convey the quality of the article. I think it's reasonable to use one of the more interesting points of the article when the original title is so

You're trying to say WordPress is to blame for not making server administration, across multiple * nix flavours thougthless. WordPress has secure defaults and the codex does a good job of providing instructions if you really want to go modi

I think the value of the community generally outweighs any concerns about them not releasing the source for it. That said, I would love an open-source equivalent of Github. It would be fantastic for projects to be able to create an equivale

Second time in a few months... must be quite upsetting if you're paying VIP rates. Gigaom, Flickr Blog, Gizmodo's Live blog and many other VIP flavours are all down.

Or risk never releasing a finished version. I've spent 8 of the last 9 months having great fun writing an app. A month ago, I realised if I kept having so much fun, I'd never release!

More choice doesn't mean more typefaces on a single page. Even if you use only 3 typefaces on a page, it doesn't mean you don't want access a library of a thousand fonts so you can use the perfect 3-5 typefaces.

Bee Keeping, Food Rapping & Growing a Reliable Bear Quickly are all generic skills. He only needs to change a few names & characters to use the same awesome application for different openings.

IE6 is proof that many will painstakingly support IE instead of just throwing up a "not compatible" message and link to a different browser. Well, not until 5 or 6 years after the release date anyway. So why would they support new standar

Showing a 12 second demo without a crash makes a product flawless? Every dodgy piece of software ever made just earned a "flawless" reclassification. Someone tell Microsoft: Vista was flawless after-all.

I lived with a guy who downloaded "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" as a PDF about two months before the book's actual release. He read all 600 pages, then said it was probably fake, but still a great read.
