I met my previous cofounder for our last startup through a mutual friend long before founding the company together. We were introduced to each other base on the fact that we were both so business oriented and our friend just wanted us to me

I don't use the actual rental service. If I ever have any time at all, I'd generally browse the streaming service to see if there is anything good on. It's more of a luxury service than one I actively got to use.

This varies greatly by location among several other factors. The range can be quite large. It's like not answering the question at all. Would be helpful if you provided more details.

Every employer look at performance differently. Beyond the ability to code as a software developer, what other personality and characteristics do you display that meet other requirements that make you invaluable beyond your ability to write

1. I don't have a problem with my host and while I get the lesson part, why would that change anything in terms of me knowing who the host is. 2. I'm still curious regardless of what the point is, who's the host?

Who is the host?

I personally love what I'm using now so it'd be extremely difficult to switch to anything else much less work with an online base IDE (which I'm not fond of; translated as I don't really care for an online IDE).

1. Skills are subjective to whomever is interviewing and just because they got the coding chops does not mean they're a good fit for you or your company. This is something you must do in person. Online chats can only take you so far. People

What a bunch of pseudo-philosophical BS. There are such things as ideas. They are the basis on which the products you mention are built out of.

Take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt as I'm not 100% sure on this and you should consult an immigration attorney for all the details. The only background information I do have is from talking to an immigration attorney myself for

This should have been a poll. I prefer Jobs style.

Try RoR, PHP, and Python and see which fits YOU personally. Everyone is different and to be honest, unless you try it, you're not going to be able to find what works best for you and what you like. Try to find something small to code with a

1. I find that NDAs are dated in today's world and in all honesty, few rarely pursue anything if the NDA should be violated. It's a waste of everyone's time. 2. Your a consultant, signing an NDA with something like makes no sense as your bu

Yes and no. In a few years, a lot could change and for all you know, a totally new Mac line could come out to replace the Air as well as the Pro. It's hard to speculate that far in advance and not think that Apple will continue to shake thi

Previously yes. There were many things in life I much rather not do. When I was in college, yes, there were courses I find rather unimportant and didn't find interest in going but went for the purpose of passing the course, etc... But I ass

I'm not sure I know how to answer this honestly. I love working and doing what I'm doing. I much rather do what I do than go out, hit up the bar, hang out with friends, play games, or any of that stuff. It's kind of addicting to be honest.

We're a small startup local to the SF Bay Area looking primarily for developers right now and designers in the near term. Ideal candidate would be a PHP dev with JS, jQuery, HTML, CSS, etc. C++, Python, Objective-C, etc are bonuses. We're c

Adsense is probably the worse monetization I have in place among anything I do and one that I ignore and just have sitting there passively from sites set up years ago so keep that in mind as I'm responding here... I have not done anything w

Create an account without using OpenID? As for why it needs it, no clue.

Good or not, I think one thing everyone can agree on is to go to college first. There are two sides to this debate. To go to college at all, and to drop out after you're in college. I think at the very least going, is worthwhile for everyon

I tend to be very objective rather than believe I'm right or wrong on any given subject. In areas where I have strong expertise, I tend to be more opinionated but I still retain the openness when discussing.

I partially agree. Finding someone with good skills shouldn't be second. It's probably at least third on the list. The first and second should be someone that gets it AND someone who is passionate about it and has the drive to execute on it

Dropbox possibly doesn't encrypt user's data but 1Password does. You already have to have two layers of passwords to even get to the encrypted list of passwords stored before hand. On the shared passwords, I haven't found much use for that

I'm sorry but I strongly disagree (btw, I'm not the one that downvoted you; I don't have that option). Why should I contribute to an open source project when I can do something like design a simple killer wordpress theme that may gain major

How does this compare to a service like 1Password? While I get the convenience of having access to it anywhere on any machine since it seems like it's web based, I'm not a huge fan of web base password storage. Most people would not trust y
