    Are you talking from your own experience? I am. I made a million dollars and it wasn't easy but it was actually a lot more difficult to invest $1 million and make more money with i…

    I did not agree at all. In my experience it's much easier to make 1 million then it is to invest 1 million and make another million. Also there are many startups that require zero …

    We have that problem for our desktop apps. Supporting the Windows and Mac versions is much easier than supporting Linux AND Linux has less users.

    Less than 100 years ago it was considered NORMAL to segregate black people and prevent access to certain locations in the US. Now it's illegal and considered totally unacceptable. …

    This is a ridiculous idea. Might work for people who have a very simple tax return but the IRS could not possibly calculate my tax return it's incredibly complicated and is not bas…

    For women who also want to have children at the same time as co-founding a startup, I think it's important not to underestimate how difficult this is. When my wife was first breast…

    I would probably still use them even if this information is true because we never had any important data go through their service (just testing accounts) and because I am not aware…

    I checked out the http://www.tarsnap.com/ website and it looks like very interesting technology but extremely unfriendly to the "ordinary" user. Perhaps not designed for ordinary u…

    The attitude of renting or getting a loan for any consumer item is financial suicide. Why they don't buy second hand I don't know? You can go to an auction site, get the same $1500…

    The idea of getting a loan to buy something that you can get for free (top universities put a lot of their course content online for free) is ridiculous. It only makes some sense f…
