#2The best thing you can do is start turning up to developer meetups. There are no doubt some in your area, if you're in any sort of medium or large city. If you've already spent 10 years learning to program you're probably better than you think. Make friends in that community and soon enough (think 6-12 months) one of them will probably emerge looking like a good potential cofounder.
For any kind of real startup, outsourcing your development is a really bad idea, fyi. Also, just so you know, your ideas are completely worthless. But that doesn't necessarily mean you're worthless as a cofounder. Hopefully you can bring more than an idea to the table.

#4Ideas are a dime a dozen, all you need to do is look at problems and realize they are opportunities, then look at the forces involved to find the idea that helps people.
What you need to do is go out and find developers in person because you will get a completely botched representation online. Go to a meetup, go to a hacker space, put an ad out for building a small website (to have them come to you).

#5The "idea man" is possibly the worst position in any startup or business adventure. The idea man is the least helpful person and the easiest to take out of the picture. For prime examples see the Crunchpad and Harvard Connection. Not knowing how to code well may set you up for failure.
