I wish he would have gone after the real culprit: hand wavy advice. Telling someone to be passionate about one's work is about as helpful as telling someone not to set himself on f…

Good question, I'll address it in the article. No institution will let you get away with that, but if the seller is financing it then maybe. You can, though, put down as little as …

I look at buying real estate like starting a business. You have costs, revenue, customers (tenants), suppliers, contractors, etc just like in any business. A year out of college (2…

This interview is even great for developers who want to make successful apps. Good stuff.

The more you play with a component's mechanical housing the more likely it is to break. There's also just human error in replacing hardware that leads to housing fractures. Creepag…

As someone who is learning Rails and is looking to collaborate with a partner, thank you!

The lack of hardware upgradeability on Apple products in general kept me from switching for many years. Then I realized by the time I was ready to upgrade my system the CPU sockets…

I'm new to Mac and Rails and am going through the tutorials in Agile Web Development w/ Rails. I'm finding that using TextEdit along with switching between files is a bit cumbersom…

1) Taking legal action costs money. Your product hasn't launched yet so it hasn't made any money yet either. He is either going to have to sue you with his own money or find a lawy…

This is a pretty great idea. Nice work!

Ahh, I see - good point. I misunderstood.

Pretty awesome tips. I don't necessarily agree with the uppercase suggestion, though. If you strip the color from Google's logo the font isn't as identifiable as Twitter or Faceboo…

Trying to juggle gchat, work, email, and HN never ends well. I'm going to try this. Thanks.
