   Transaction isolation would be handled like any non-database backed application: use your language and/or library's native thread synchronization features. As for persisting transactions, you could marshall to file the deltas for each trans

   This is so true. The starting developer will feel an immediate response, without (typically) first having to install/configure the webserver, compile code, setup deployment scripts etc. PHP is definitely not a good language to start program

   The universe isn't infinite. If that'd be the case, there'd be infinite matter, and therefore infinite gravity, and we'd all be reduced to black hole singularities :-)

   I almost laughed out loud at this. At work :-)

   I like it. I works smoothly, which you can't say of all flash games.

   Isn't food (and rent) a personal expense, rather than a company expense? So your company has to first pay a wage to yourself (taxed) and then you personally buy the food? Same for rent, unless you're renting an office, right?

   Invest it to grow to sixty billion and use it to build a space elevator, duh.

    Unless I misunderstand the question, I'd say Scalable Vector Graphics. A pretty decent format that's very badly supported in out-of-the-box browsers even though it's been in existance for several years. Consistent SVG support would allow a

    Employing people is very, very expensive. If you run a company with more than say 3 people, you're also going to be needing an office. And computers.

    Great story. I hope you continue to develop this idea, even without YC.

    Wow those numbers are bizarre compared to what I see in Belgium. Programmer jobs don't make much more than average other jobs here actually. Junior programmers get paid around 25000 EUR per year (before taxes) - that equates to 35000 USD.

    My Compilers introductory course. But that's probably because I work on a compiler in my actual job right now. I also really enjoyed my computational geometry class. But the first poster is right: good teachers are at least if not way more

    My unit tests are mostly related to the core logic. The only UI testing I do is automated XHTML validation of pages generated for a test set.

    It'd take me first to be convinced that my idea is actually viable. Which means the project would have to be in an operation state before I make the jump. But I definitely have the ambition to.

    I'm all for Scheme as first language. When combined with the SICP book for an introductory CS course, it allows you to explore pretty much any concievable paradigm in a single solid framework. Sounds like a sales wrap, but it's really how I
