    Go with stripe. They are the only one I have seen with no monthly fees. Great product too.

    Kinda cool. My startup makes a sandboxing plugin for Firefox, but we plan to extend it to Chrome and IE later. Our sandbox works by doing all the browsing on a completely different…

    Cilent side: Firefox plugin for graphics and extension for browser integration. Server side: openvz for process isolation, webkit for browsing, openssl for crypto. I started using …

    I am sort of doing the browser in the cloud idea. Except the value of mine is security, not tab management. If you really wanted tab management, that seems like an easy job for a s…

    I use netbeans with the rails plugin. All free. I have not used any others, so I can't say how good it is.

    I got these last night. Sparkle and big boss are lame, but I'm not a fan of touchscreen games. Glimpse is the best of the pack. The camera app sounds like a good idea, but is reall…

    You can do the automatic sign ups with extensions pretty easily. As for the offline access native apps: does each site then have to write a native app module for your browser for i…

    The solutions mentioning IP addresses won't solve the problem. For someone to use firesheep to steal session keys, they have to be on the same network, such as a coffee shop's wifi…

    Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with testing the "bargain-bin" hypothesis with subscription based payments? I can see a one time purchase of $10 for a piece of software…

    that's my point. If something can't be specified unambiguously in code, it shouldn't be in a law. Whether the verdict is innocent or guilty shouldn't rest on who happens to be sitt…

    man, I have been thinking this for years. If ilaws were written in code there would be no reason to have judges or lawyers. We have those only because spoken language is ambiguous …

    Officially launch my company's first product and snag a sale to a total stranger.

    honestly, I hate gmail. I can't exactly put my finger on why though. I'm definitely not a fan of the threaded view.

    Check out vps.net. They take a few minutes to come up, but are billed by the minute. However, when you create a vm, they bill you for the remainder of the month up front. When you …

    Maybe in 1998. Computers don't go "out of date" as fast as they used to. I bought my desktop in 2004 and it wasn't top of the line then. What's it got? Dual core 3.2 GHz, 2G RAM, 4…

    I just read your post here, and your homepage and I still have no idea what this is supposed to do.

    You don't get a tax deduction for contributing to a Roth IRA. And if you have high income (above 100Kish) you won't get a deduction for a traditional IRA either.

    Wait a minute. The owner of a start up that helps other startups gain early adopters is asking for advice on how to gain early adopters?

    I use trac. It has ticket/backlog management, a built in wiki, subversion integration, and it's free. I highly recommend it.

    My first real project was writing a game engine, and then using it to write a couple games. After that, I learned a whole lot writing a compiler for a C like language.
