http://www.w3schools.com is pretty informative if you haven't already checked that out. The best thing to do, especially if you are on a budget is spend a few hours in a bookstore each week reading over various books on various subjects.

Although I wish it were that simple, it's more complicated than that. The reason for this simply is, if I own a business, I could create multiple fake accounts and have friends and and associates do the same. We would then be able to give m

I first noticed this in the movie "Traffic." Great movie and cinematography in my opinion, but I noticed how the orange came out in the Mexican drug cartel scenes and a heavy blue in the DC ones.

You're missing his point. The difference in 100M and 200M dollars is the potential good you can do with it.

I like the idea. I definitely think there is a need for a site like this because the news no longer comes even close to cutting it when it comes to presenting "both sides of the coin." There are a couple of things I would like to point out

Microsoft designers have put so much thought into the design that it has become too much as you point out. In this case, as is true with many of the best designed websites, less is more. "Simplicity is the keynote of true elegance."

Friend of mine did this on his lunch break. He actually is moving out to SF from Alabama for a marketing job. He's already received over 10,000 email responses offering a wide variety of things over the past 24 hours.

The tough thing here is that you have to essentially monopolize a certain market place like craigslist and ebay have done. If you want to bid on a product you are going to go to ebay, if you want to search for something in your area you are

I have a great deal of admiration for the coders and designers I have already worked with and many of the people on this site, simply because I don't get exposure to that level of intelligence and passion on an everyday basis where I live c

Thanks for your response. This venture is my life until it fails which hopefully won't be the case. However, I know the statistics of success are not on my side especially if I don't launch with the right ingredients. The idea is a tried on

Heroin is an opiate with many alternatives from oxcontin to the aforementioned methadone. There are no generics for cocaine. It is a fairly unique drug that people either free base or snort. The next jump for someone who wants to get "up" w

"Reciting "money++ is the only thing that matters" as the definition of a corporation is brain-dead" That wasn't my intention, and my definition was ambiguous, you are right. I wrote that off the top of my head. To be more accurate, it is "

This is simply the definition I was given in business school. If you type in "purpose of a corporation" on Google, this is what you will get (which is comedically ironic in this situation). "Efficiently organizing work" is what must be done

What is the answer to 99 out of 100 questions? Money. It is not the pubicly-held companies. It is the power of money to control, persuade, influence, or even empower. This is not necessarily a bad thing. It is true that money doesn't buy ha

I sympathize with your idealistic sort of thinking but it is unreasonable. Corporations (which is what Google is) are responsible to shareholders. The purpose of a corporation by definition is to maximize the bottom line for the shareholde

This just leads you further down the rabbit hole. To say that someone has a "more accurate perception of reality" then begs the question of what reality is. When it comes down to it, reality is simply how you perceive the external world. If

This is not necessarily a bad move on Groupon's part. The downside, he claims, is that consumers who have essentially committed to buying or leasing are losing their negotiating power. The simple fix for this, is go into the dealership and

I also upvoted you for the helpful post. However, you aren't supposed to use caps for emphasis on HN. That could be the reason.

I saw that and disagree with him. A lot of people involved in [tech] startups are interested in money. However most, including myself, simply have a passion for building or contributing to something new. It's about learning, exploring and d
