Interesting concept. I'd opt for a slighty less colorful background, this one is a bit too trippy for my taste. There is one thing that I would like to know before I'd sign up. Do …

You learn by doing, reading tutorials on the internet, by asking questions on StackOverflow and by making mistakes. Start out small with some basic web hosting, or play around with…

There was a show on the radio about BASIC programming, with programming samples. You'd have to record the show on a cassette tape, because the code was transmitted as audio output.…

Why for heaven's sake is the new macbook pro €2279 when it's only $2199 in the US? It's a beautiful machine, and I'm used to some price differences between the US and Europe (USD =…

As a PR and communications major I can help you with that. I can recommend these two books: http://www.amazon.com/Influence-Psychology-Persuasion-Busine... And http://about.pricegr…

Anything from Duke Ellington to CCR and from U2 to Top 40. When I'm "in the zone" progressive or trance work really well (Armin van Buuren, Deadmau5, or more dance oriented such as…

I have one more itch to scratch: please let me pay with me debit/credit card! The other day a shipment from GLS arrived. This actually was the second shipment, because they claim I…

I tried a couple of them and sticked with CodeIgniter. Sure it has some quirks, but it's powerful, easy to grasp, not bloated (hello, Zend!) and more than capable to satisfy your w…

I know what you mean. A little while ago there was a thread about how many milions you'd had to have in order to be "rich". I tried to explain that richness does not equal money, b…

I've always used CI. I know a lot of people tend to look down on it, but it's easy to use and suited my needs. Can't you install both Yii and CI and decide which one you like best?…

I feel you man, I really do. I share your concerns over the major social networks, and I can see that you're really passionate about what you're doing and where you're going. I can…

I used to, but shared hosting is less than 20 euros a year, a Decent VPS is use costs a little more: about 60 euros a year. For this kind of pocket change I can worry about other t…

Armin van Buren ft Adam Young - Youtopia

Sorry, I have no idea!

It's funny how RICH is defined in a monetary value. I live a very rich life (including kids, those of you who don't have them yet: you'll get it when you have them), can afford eve…

I assume that market values in Germany don't differ too wildly from where I'm based (The Netherlands). The 3500 - 4500 Euros for the first year is OK I guess for a startup, albeit …

I did apply, but I think my chances are slim. I did not want to apply this cycle (have applied 2 times before) because I'm far from finishing my project, but did it anyway. Feel fr…

I think any sensible VC would have a carefully balanced mix of a few high potential, yet outlandish ventures and a good part of promising but more traditional startups.

Amazingly fun video to watch, it seems like you have a great team! Would you consider H1B?

Anything from Armin van Buren, Deadmau5 and David Guetta to Heart, CCR, Led Zep or Mike Snow. As long as I keep the volume down I'm OK.

Have you thought of Yahoo mail? It offers plus addresses and calendars, it's actually pretty good. I've used it since the late 90's, Gmail still can't convince me enough to swith.

B! I don't see ho they could add anything relevant to phones/tablets at this point.

This question is impossible to answer. There is a difference between learning and mastering. Learning is quick ('hello world' will takeless than a minute), while mastering depends …
