You don't own the servers at Linode. Colocation is putting your server in someone's data center. This is good if you have a large number of custom servers, but don't want to manage the bandwidth, power, cooling etc... yourself.

Wow. This is both genius, and despicable. It's amazing what kind of profit they drive, yet it seems like they're really taking advantage of people with gambling addictions, or poor money management skills.

As I mentioned, it's for people you know (and would be comfortable having that conversation with). I've worked for friends, and I'm clear up front that I'm not free, but I'm also more willing to work with them on price for stuff (as it's u

Is it something people might buy a good amount of? You could look in to something like a credit on the site (IE the user can add credit in $5 increments). Or you could bill when they customers has gotten to $X (this is risky in some cases

With any successful venture (re: Ticketstumbler) there come a host of imitators. If you're making money, someone will copy (and possibly improve upon) your idea. It'll be interesting to see if Ticketstumbler responds to this, and how.

Well, to start, if you really know these people, ask what their budget is and set something in that range that you think is fair. If you're not sure about the people, then you ought to consider things like rent, food, etc... One great plac

Yes but for someone like me (Read: not a lawyer, can't afford one) a service like this can save me a ton of money. I understand there are risks when not working with a lawyer, and I haven't actually submitted yet because my partner and I a

Quick note: Apparently you need to click the link and use the code "MYGIFT" to get the $150 discount.

Sorry, I'm new to this whole thing... what is the $250 franchise fee? Is it federal or state and is it required for ALL LLCs or just DE? I'm looking to incorp. in Michigan with a buddy of mine, is this going to to screw us come tax time?

I don't have a highrise account, however looking at the screenshots it looks well done. I like the 'Text Message' option I see there as well. Did you do a write up anywhere of what your experience was with the app store and all of the proc

I just convinced my friend to learn the iPhone SDK and build an app with me, now I'm even more excited!

#nmu on csc.nmu.edu My CS department runs an unofficial server that we all SSH into and screen through IRSSI. We get a lot done that way. Makes planning our ACM/LUG meetings easier too since you can scrollback and see the previous discus

I guess whatever works for the person looking to make money works... but it's sad to think that people in the US have to compete on rates with people who will work for less than half of a living wage in the US. I mean, I'm sure http://www

I think this is an excellent idea, however from the standpoint of someone who provides tech support to students at my university, this would be a disaster for a good portion of the student body. A good number of people here can barely turn

Interesting... the ones that charge seem to be doing the worst -- even if they add value with the cost.

Well... given his track record, I'd say this sets up Android to be an enormous success. This says a lot about Microsoft's stance on the phone market as well (we won't innovate unless we can make serious money!). Edit: I'm not the only one!

I understand your viewpoint, but at some point you have to realize that some applications would simply be easier/better to create on this stack. If you're stuck in a Windows company looking to create a startup on the web, the barriers to e

Seems like a cool offering if you REALLY need Windows, the $100 dropout fee seems kind of strange though. I might hop in just to get access to some of the technology -- some of those things are simply too expensive to try otherwise.

This really hit home with me. I'm suffering from poor teachers who are bored and don't care and a system that only wants my money. I also was amazed that this came out a week after I started working on something that can solve this problem

Maybe I'm missing something but isn't the installer for Debian usually smaller and more tuned for servers, and isn't this command line only version of Ubuntu basically the same as Debian? Why use Ubuntu for servers?

Well, I'm 18 and I'm interested in tech startups... this seems like it could be a great way to get my foot in the door and get to a place where I can meet people I could found my own company with. I also feel like I have every quality list

I wish I could find the link to where I saw the comment, but I'm having tough time. But anyway, I saw a comment by someone who (mostly politely) emailed the school and chastised them for being so harsh on the student. However, they replie

This seems like it could be really handy if someone could perhaps narrate along with it and help me understand what all of his talking points are about.

Also... some services wouldn't make sense to pay for. I wouldn't pay for Facebook or anything in that space.
