   I majored in econ as an undergrad. I have always wanted to be wealthy so I try to understand how money 'works'.

   I am talking about the downstream side of production as far as mass metering and additizing. Specifically, where the fuel goes after it has been refined and traveled through the pipeline to the place where the tanker trucks take it to your

   Good question. I work on the West Coast and travel a lot for my full time job, so I have some flexibility as far as location and travel. My co-founder telecommutes 100% and is location-independent. That has made it easier for us to atten

   I and my biz partner got 'non-traditional' seed-level funding and are looking to raise Series A soon. We are both married with children, full time responsibilities as fathers, and we both have day jobs in addition to our startup. It is a

   I know a specific industry, and I have a deep understanding of the current technlology as well as better solutions: Petroleum controls and automation. Ripe for the picking. Unfortunately, like most 'enterprisey' industries, the long sales

   We did something like this at Yahoo! with an R&D project that never saw the light of day. The functionality was later integrated with Yahoo! toolbar. I think it was called 'Speedboost' or something like that. I'm not a fan of browser

    Opentick used to provide this information for an EXTREMELY competitive price point (something like $5/month/exchange), but they are refactoring their business and are out of commission for the moment. http://www.opentick.com

    I recently went here. It is amusing. Everyone I tried to speak to spoke Dutch. Ik sprek een kliene beetje nederlands, but every conversation went the same: <translated from dutch> S1: hai me: hello S1: A/S/L ? me: 32, male, U

    You get better at code by reading code. That being said, I have NEVER been good at pouring through lines of code to figure out whats going on. Others seem to be exceedingly good at it. The closest analogy that comes to mind is music. Som

    When I paid for private health insurance, My premiums were around $450/month for a family of 3. This was (if I recall correctly) and 80/20 plan with a $1000 deductible. I then dumped $1000 into my HSA and I was set.

    Mrton, this is not FUD, this is fact, and I speak from experience rather than conjecture. When a release goes out on the wire, there are a multitude of sites that will pick it up automatically from the wire. On the order of thousands, incl

    I recommend eggmarketingpr.com. You can get a couple press releases for under $1000, which will definitely jumpstart your SEO, traffic, and overall buzz. But as tptacek noted, it is not magic. $1000 is not a lot to work with in the pr worl

    I work at Yahoo!, and I really hope this rumor is true. There is a lot of dead wood, and even more VP level employees that really don't contribute to the bottom line. I know this, others know this, and Jerry knows this. Its just a matter

    Usually I listen to stuff that allows me to think... some chilled out stuff like Stereolab, Free Design, Telepopmusik, Thief, Portishead, Jazzanova, Forss, Yesterdays New Quintet, Wahoo, and more stuff like that.

    @big-j: To me, co-founder means exactly what you said: "Getting together with someone with complementary skills." No lawyers involved at this point, its just proof of concept mode.

    @Zak, the secrecy is not by design, but the features are pretty loosely defined at this point, and will be driven by input from co-conspirators + customer response.

    I agree with that sentiment. I am married, and I have a child. My wife and child will not be coming with me to the Bay area if I am accepted. I will be living in a cardboard box and eating ramen in the Valley, but the necessary financial
