Or you can do the human thing. Grab the water, move it next to the food, and enjoy them together. While you're at it, you can even pay someone to take the donkey to market and trad…

My first time being downvoted, I think. Humor falls flat == bad. Got it. Sorry for dragging you down with me.

Yeah the other founder probably needed to contribute $5000 too. If he could not, that would have been your first clue that it wouldn't work.

Product and sales first. It sounds like you spent your marketing money way too soon. Later you might have found out that your offering was not even what customers really wanted. Th…

... if you execute them.

I demo'd some apps I made at a local group and before I knew it they were beating the doors down. Job offers too, but I turn those down.

I guess the real money comes when you help marketing people find spend-happy people's mailboxes ;) Or connect conmen with heiresses, vacuum cleaner salesmen with Persian cat owners…

This reply is quite hilarious. I'm bursting with laughter.

Is that violin music? Are those tears? Is the resale value of your product hurting you? Aww. I guess next I should feel sorry for GM because they don't get a cut when I sell my 10 …

We came up with the same metaphor. My post started with the glucose meter as well, and pointed out that misinterpreting blood glucose was more likely to have immediate and dire con…

Wow, your catharsis really comes through in your writing. If nothing else, maybe there's a memoir in all this ;) Seriously though, stay positive and stay in the habit of asking peo…

I think the one on the right (same one you indicate) is definitely more readable. I'm a former copywriter, so I'm more verbal than visual in some ways, and I am still quite sure yo…

Wow. Thank you. I'm still reading but so far you've increased my visual IQ by 1000%.

Sort of a tech school with a marketing culture. They have a tendency to define new words and get the coolest press.

There's a lot of talk about this from time to time, but it's nothing new. For example, the book _Free: The Future of a Radical Price_ by Chris Anderson discussed it extensively in …

Yes. Why do people assume you can just make a phone call to Andromeda? 'Ya, hi ET, what's new?' If Andromeda disappeared into a black hole 1 million years ago, we wouldn't even kno…

Look into how Ghostscript is capitalized. It might be good to look at some other case studies too so you understand the broader range of possibilities. To get help on that you migh…

Bill Gates might rather cure river blindness, malaria and cholera. He's at that stage when a billionaire thinks about humanitarian legacy. Similar to Andrew Carnegie and the moguls…

Yes or 'they' might use a form of energy that is totally foreign to us. Maybe it's not even a beam or a ray. Maybe it's micro-black-hole-oscillation (yeah, made that up). I mean, w…

No, programming empowers you to make your ideas actually work. It also forces you to break the great big idea into chewable little pieces, and that's the process that turns imagina…

Do consider though that some of these positions may include options and other non-salary compensation. Sometimes the 'perks' are really the cake and the salary is just the icing.

Maybe. At least some though are working on a bill to mandate a permanent base on the moon. That's a decent piece of high ground. And if it has a core of iron as has recently been s…
