I assure you though, the beta release in this case is quite functional (and saves me a ton of time writing my web app).

Getting rid of my Facebook account is feeling like the simpler solution, but I'm not even sure that solves the problem anymore.
My "drawings" are represented by text (JSON), and if normal text merging methods will work, I might want to use differential synchronization (seems easier). But I wish there was something proving that it won't mess up the integrity of my structured data.

Partly - I think we are jaded because of technical flaws as well, even in their later versions. IE8 was supposed to be their modern browser, and it still had no canvas support and horrible JS performance.
Otherwise, I agree with you - even if IE9 is a huge hit and awesome, a lot of developers supporting IE won't really have a better life.
But, as it turns out, he's gotten a lot better about substantiating his claims. I'm tempted not to substantiate my claim after that sentence, but his presentation at startup school last year was pretty much all about the evidence.
Yes, that's why you stated it as basically "you can always change the girl to fit your tastes." Nothing about your statement implied (or stated, for that matter) any kind of mutual understanding or flexibility - just your ability to change a girl to your liking.
> Now, if a girl wrote, "I prefer to find a guy who is quality that other women might overlook, I reckon you can always teach a man how to dress better" would you have batted an eyelid? I doubt it.
Yes, and I bet most here would. Most independent people (which I believe many entrepreneurs are) dislike being told what to do. Even the tone of your statement shows a bit of bitterness at your belief that it's ok for a woman to "change" her man and not the other way around.
You can't always. Sometimes they might not agree to your tastes. For example, they might have their own tastes. Some people even like girls that have their own tastes.
I would argue that bootstrapping in NYC might even be easier than SF - the pay rates for contract programmers (especially if you can get hired by a bank or hedge fund) are very high, and there are fewer contractors flooding the market. You can also just work for a hedge fund for about a year, and that will keep you fed for a good year or so after you quit. And then, you bootstrap.
