Somewhat ironically, a website created to review websites created with Django is really an example of a simplified version of what we want to create. http://www.djangosites.org/

The statement that stocks out-perform over the long run indicates that now is exactly the right time to be starting your index fund investment. What better way to ensure gains than to be buying when stocks are low. Even if they continue to

Excellent. Thank you both for your in-depth comments. We'd thought of using blog software. I'd never gotten into WordPress much since I'd never needed more functionality besides simple blogging before now (I use Typepad). So we'll take a cl

Joomla's website does a wicked good job marketing itself. If it really does what it claims.. Has anyone used it to create something close to what we're thinking?

For savings, I use FNBO. They have an online presence (FNBO Direct), where everything is done online. https://www.fnbodirect.com The nice part is, they adjust your interest rate as it goes up and down. So when it goes up, you don't need t

How to get in to the program? You go to Apple's website and sign up. Its a two step process, first you sign up, and then sign up again for the developer program. When they accept you, you pay $99 and can submit applications to the app store

Future expenses will most likely add up to more than the incorporation fee, so it makes sense. Stuff like traveling, mileage, a new computer, rent if the business expands. As the business grows he will be able to deduct more. However, I be

An $800 incorporation fee is a small price to pay to separate your personal liability from your business liability. Especially if you have other assets, like a house or pension.

An opposite view is that people don't like drugs because they see so many kids today being prescribed them like candy and it turns out sometimes thats not good for them. "Drugs are good" can often do just as much harm.

I just believe in equilibrium. Obviously, we don't naturally go extended periods without sleep over and over again. Forcing the body to do so through the use of drugs just seems like a bad, bad idea. This isn't a caffeine perk we're talking

Know when to quit. Sometimes the business just isn't there, but you're in denial. In the end you just run yourself into the ground and it take a long, long time to recover.

I'm with you. Nothing needs to be done that urgently that you need to do drugs. I put little stock in the "no side effects" voices. The body wasn't made to do this sort of thing, forcing it to just can't be good.

What's with all the hating? I can see where constantly seeing "How we did XXX for $YYYY.YY" can get a little tiresome, but they also serve a purpose. One, they're insight into what sort of expenses a venture like this takes. Sure, you have

I think it was a pretty good article. If you think an item was unessential, well, you can do the math, subtract it. It was a pretty good round-up of how they did it. You may make fun of the icons, but a lot of businesses outsource these day

That only works if you know the little yellow dots can track you. Which nobody knew before it leaked (which was a while ago). But more importantly, its unlikely a counterfeiter fills out warranty cards in the first place. More likely, the S

Good point, however, if you own the printer, the information is still valuable. If you have the printer serial number, and own the printer in question, you can find out who may have printed it. Or who in an opposing organization may have pr

I think advertising your own games is something you should incorporate. Get someone playing one game to also play another. So even if you don't have ads, or never plan to, building in ad space for yourself should be part of the equation.

Thats very true. And seamlessly integrating it into your design is even harder. Blog posts can be good, but I'm really talking about visuals and copy of the homepage here. You gotta make me want to click on something.

And when I say fill the page, I don't mean Gamespy style, I like clean design, not cluttered, but the page can definitely use more oomph.

My first reaction was, for a game company, the home page wasn't very much about games. You have a lot of space to use, so you should. The home page is your marketing tool, use it to promote your games. What about them is exciting? Why would

There's an entrepreneurial venture for someone. Decode the dots, and sell your services to private investigators and document companies. I'm sure a lot of companies would be interested to know who printed something. Then that article would
