Just because you were promised a part of "stolen" property doesn't mean that you are entitled to it afterwards when it gets returned. All their anger should go against Zuckerberg p…

This doesn't affect the employees, just the investors. You can't blaim Paul Ceglia for Zuckerberg trying to trick him out.

Well if you have raised 6 millions and you sell the company for 10 million, and still manage to get 1.6 million, then I think you made a very good deal.

No suprise for me. There were already a few posts on hacker news about Facebook's and Zuckerberg's history, and this is just the creme de la creme.

They should sue Apple for false claims.

Why can't they leave the Blackberry and all the other mobile phones out of the game?

In the last thread they said that they are spending over 250.000$ a year just in servers. They could save huge amounts of money if they would just switch to rented servers.

So the newly acquired cash is dumped into amazon EC2 again...

You don't seem to really trying. You could be moving everything to one host and still be saving money.

I don't see a problem there. He still has to pay the ebay fees and everything, so he will loose anyway. And he won't bid on the item himself if he thinks it's an adaquate price.

Voltdb = memory only database, thus unfair comparision...

And you think this will work and be accepted...?

I finished my studies at the ETH a few years ago, and heard at that time that this was the normal case for chemistry students here as well (at least I was being told) doing a phd. …

No, they don't.

In europe: ovh, gandi, or hetzner (they will also offer VPS soon). They are cheaper than rackspace, linode, etc... , and it's not a 2 man shop.

I used foxitreader as well, until they had that feature that they would execute whatever command on your computer and you couldn't disable it... (and you could do this, or at least…

Just imagine all their machines were running debian linux with the wrongly patched openssl binary. About 1024 different private/public keys to rule them all :-)

They don't have any money to pay the interns ( http://www.reddit.com/r/blog/comments/c7vdo/call_for_interns... ) , but have money for 2 offices and money to hire a lawyer to check …

You could have hired somebody else to handle the hassle dealing with them.

Hello everyone, It has been over a year and a half since we last asked for advice (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=300460). We changed our name since then for good :). Today, w…

It's really funny that a SSN is enough in the USA to get somebody else in so much trouble. Doesn't work in the other countries, as long as you don't send in copies of your passport…

What about the older versions of firefox, opera, etc... Wouldn't the users that use an outdated version of Internet Explorer also use an outdated version of an alternative browser,…

It's not a fact, it's a database and databases are protected by law.

Is 2 weeks notice common in the USA? Here in Europe it's 1 month or 3 months, depending on what contract you have.
