I like it a lot. I had to adjust the night setting, since all the way to "Halogen" was making everything look orange. I now have it a few steps up and it looks great. Installed it …

Why has it taken so long for this to come to public attention? I hadn't heard anything about it until about 2 months ago when my friend bought a BPA free Nalgene, and then recently…

Ditto. I just finished moving everything off of godaddy recently. Another thing I like about namecheap is that they provide you with nameservers, which was a big plus for me since …

From what I could tell in the video, bisphenol a's a petroleum derivative that is used to harden polycarbonates. The other one, pthalates (also a petroleum derivative) is used to s…

I agree. This part wouldn't be vital for a pitch (unless showing the site is a part of it), but for anyone going to the site, it would be. If I can't figure out what the site's abo…

A speed bump ultimately doesn't stop drunk drivers...

Yeah definitely not. It's not like the girl's ims from the other end executed on the shell. Seems like it was an easy bug to find and temporarily patch. An official fix will probab…

This is as much for my knowledge as the original poster, but what discount rate would you use? He doesn't exactly have a beta to do Weighted Average Cost of Capital with, or am I t…

Doesn't work if they work from home.

I was an unemployed investment banker. I wore a suit with all my shirt buttons off by one, tie hanging really loose, and a hobo sign (ripped cardboard) around my neck saying, "Jobl…

This is a bit of a specific one, but the array_shift function is really slow on large arrays. The workaround I found is to use array_slice and unset the array index afterward. Over…

The Monk and the Riddle by Randy Komisar I'd say it's a must read for any aspiring entrepreneur. It gives you a lot of perspective and a decent introductory exposure to the process…

that's not ironic. it's just coincidental.

I've always just been a slow eater. In effect, it's the same thing. I feel full "sooner" since the food has time to reach my stomach and most of the time, I don't even finish out t…

I agree. JavaScript is a pretty crucial step before really tapping into AJAX, particularly if you want to execute scripts you retrieve via AJAX. I'm not sure if any script packages…

www.lounge-radio.com is quite nice. If you turn it down, it's decent sleep music. If you turn it up, it's awesome work music. I've nearly stopped listening to my entire music libra…

I use SoftLayer as well, and it's fantastic. Prices are very reasonable. Only took 2 hours to set up our first server, like you said, they provide excellent support. Also, unlike c…

I would guess that it'd matter if the language poses a problem for when your acquirer tries to integrate you. Of course, this can be greatly outweighed by the value added of your p…

Your comment reminds me of the underpant gnomes from South Park. My co-founder and I are moving forward regardless, since our only real expense is server fees and advertising costs…

Probably there needs to be another network infrastructure change before the masses adopt large numbers of cores. By that I mean, that current broadband will have to increase again …

Agreed, I think we learn more from mistakes than successes. That's why I the Blogger interview in Founders at Work is my favorite. Getting things right could just be getting lucky,…

I'd put SoftLayer on par with ThePlanet. It was founded by former ThePlanet execs and I've had a great experience with them.

I've been trying to switch to NameCheap, after hearing the GoDaddy horror stories, but GoDaddy's domainbyproxy takes ages to forward me my transfer proposal. :\ Also I happened to …
