And with a still unstable economy it's probably your best bet.

(I didn't apply this round) but things like that might give you some insight. Mostly on whether it's worth applying again. If they say there #1 reason is 'no cofounder' you'll get one and apply again later. if there #1 reason is 'not our ki

I still wish they'd give reasons why. even if it was a checkbox thing. 'primary reason of rejection: no-cofounder' or 'bad idea', 'need more demo', 'not our area of interest', 'try again with this team and idea in 6 months' etc.

You can write functional code in perl 5 from 15 years ago... and you can do an even better job of it in perl today. CPAN has no shortage of libraries. See Higher Order Perl book (it's free too).

Wow I really disagree with this. Most websites do have a profit model, or were never tying to make any to begin with. Correctly said most /popular/ web businesses don't have one. A large majority of sites are just personal pages or business

Maybe try this book? http://www.amazon.com/Code-Reading-Open-Source-Perspective/d... I'm not sure how good it is.

More than Handwriting I think they should teach shorthand for note taking.

I can say I've never looked for a 'business guy' but I have looked for a 'sales and marketing'. I suck a lot more at those, but I think there's more to running a business than those, so I wouldn't /necessarily/ want that guy running the bus

Reminds me of Liquid Web who copied rackspace calling it Heroic Support. If you need to be a Fanatic or hero you're doing it wrong. I think I'll start a web host and call it "competent" support.

I think it depends on your 'project' as one person said. if you want to write systems software, or desktop apps C/C++ is a good route, however if you want to write Web Applications it's not, you should pick a scripting language. Pick the la

no a power outage never makes sense. all systems should be on online battery backup with gas powered backup generators for outages longer than 5 minutes. These systems should be tested periodically to make sure that they are all in good wor

for a 1 time command that I don't need to look at again I'd just use alt+f2 kde's 'run prompt' is pretty good. of course it doesn't actually provide the 'shell environment'.

your drop downs in registration seem slow... heavy in javascript maybe? I really hate all these sites with 'blog' and microblog stuff... basically I'm saying how many 'blogs' do I need? I don't mind it but I'd personally rather have one tha

better idea, see searches that were made by other people who searched the same thing as you, in a recent search timespan. (for example if I search linux firewall, 10 minutes later I search iptables they are probably related).

This was more of a pain for SQLite than it was worth. It requires a lot more paperwork than just giving it a BSD (or similar) license.

I'm not aware of any OSS license that doesn't allow others to copy the code and make money off it. even AGPLv3 (arguably the most restrictive license) allows it.

I've been looking at that. It's the best thing I've found so far, but I don't have a good general shell reference to start with.

in theory lots of things can 'cause scalability problems. I like to write a lot of my code in the database, and I would never be able to move to mysql from postgres, since mysql just doesn't support half the stuff postgres does. I might be

a book on postgresql 8.3 (or the to be released 8.4) with some good strong chapters on various PL languages. I'm thinking one on PL/Perl a few on PL/pgSQL, one on PL/SQL, one on SQL/PSM (maybe). several on the rest of Postgres.
