what I don't understand is why email isn't enough. Why in this day and age do you need the phone # and address? That just tells me that you'll use my information to do high pressure sales calls, and not just to "inform" or "customize" my qu

sure it does...it allows him to exit with his head held high, and allows to add another acquisition to his resume. And frees up his time to start up another idea that he thinks has a lot more chance of success.

how exactly do you personalize an email to an angel investor. Dropping blog posts etc just seems very superficial...and actually saying how they'd be the person to help you just makes you come off as needy. Multiply that by 30-40 people, an

I don't see why that would affect anything. You can always link to the framework, so at worst your user will find the site a few seconds slower to load. Then if there is adoption, you can always be included in the next build of the browser.

what I don't understand, is why browsers don't just include the core stuff like that in the actual build. There are like a dozen javascript frameworks that people use...so why not keep the latest copy of jquery and YUI for example on the us

I'm questioning the service, because I had to read about the outage on HN...and not through a warning email from jotform. At the very least, they should have sent an email, telling people to switch the urls so the forms would work.

agreed..it's like people never dealt with anyone from a big corporation before...it always takes a while to get a response...and something like would require decision making from multiple executives...they probably just waited till the next

not really, car dealers make most of their money on their service department. That new Civic might net the dealer a $500 profit....but if that car comes in for a single service, they'll net more than that from the repair. And yes you aren't

yeah my firefox experience have been pretty subpar...it's just not stable. It crashes all the time with like 30 tabs open...freezes up...and it uses 900mb of ram just by simply browsing....and can spike up to 2.3-2.4 GB ram if you do visit

right now it's more of a case of each side getting someone who'll come out and say they agree with them.

agreed, it doesn't seem like it should be a jury trial, but instead should be just a hearing in front of matter experts. What does joe schmoe know about the nuances around patent law? There is a reason there are lawyers who specialize their

yeah, those are some terrible domain names...not even worth the reg fee. Now, if it was something like rideshare.com it might be worth something.

well the cars have a pretty decent aftermarket, so if you needed a new exhaust you could have just gotten an aftermarket one...or bought a used one on the forums for a few hundred

better yet, take the loan, then pay it off the next day.

that's partly because in Europe your insurance is through the roof so people throw away perfectly fine cars since they don't want to pay $6K/yr for a civic

to be honest, I was in your boat. I always bought Hondas/Acuras since I was afraid of maintenance issues. So for the last car I decided to take a gamble and buy an Audi. An A4 quattro for winter driving. Figure, worst case scenario, I'll ju

ah yes, didn't catch what you were saying in the original post...then yes, the redesigns should be accounted...but since they are only looking at E320s, the redesign hit should affect all years.

complicated = harder to work on = takes more time to do ecah tasks = if you go to dealer you pay more

by vaksel 15y ago
it actually makes sense...take Audi for example. You'll pay $40K for an A4 2.0T Quattro(once you get a few basic options) Or you can go used, and buy a 2009 with 36K miles for $25K...a car that looks identical to the 2012 model. Pretty much

E320 is just an E-Class The 320 just designates engine size. i.e. 3.2L V6 The new 350s, are still the E class, just with a 3.5 V6

another thing is that German cars tend to be a bit more complicated, since they want to screw people on maintenance costs. For example, I just bought a used Audi a month ago. 1-Bulbs - changing bulbs on regular cars, you just screw them out

I think something like what Goldman Sachs did with Facebook would work. You create a Startup Mutual Fund...where regular folks can sign up and deposit money into. The fund then uses that money to invest into companies. i.e. they'd issue a n

so I'm supposed to pay money to promote some random startup? in order to get a shirt, that they give away for free at their booths all over the place? + $20/mo to get a shirt is way overpriced...at that price, I might as well get a shirt fr
