Yeah, but this one isn't a joke.

It does remind me of Cobol on Cogs though.

It is properly targeting the high-end embedded market, since there are only a few places I can imagine that you would want an embedded webserver.

They might be, but they are properly too conservative to support a startup culture.

No, not if you don't mind loosing a lot of money, then it its okay.

My parents have had eggs for decades and we always threw then away at the end of 3 weeks after they had been collected.

And now you can download the lastest version of basic directly from Microsoft completely legal. Oh well.

I would rather risk being bad at selling and get to keep my soul.

The gap between XP and OS X is properly larger than the gap between XP and Windows 7.

I have seen how developers are treated on the IPhone, are Mac developers treated any better?

It is much more fun than a captcha.

I don't think that is a failure though - that alone removes a lot of bots.

That was very interesting, thank you for writing it.

I do hope that you decide to write about how you show yourself of as nonspammy at some point.

It shouldn't be too difficult to simply set up your own email and then forward it to the app email.

True, but he assumes that anthropologists don't read newspapers.

J2EE can't possibly run well on the amount of RAM slicehost demands.

Well yes, but I have been unable to find a host for tomcat the way you could find a host for, say php.

Quite understandable for the market they operate in, but a bit unfortunate for the hobby projects that might benefit from them.

Sadly, they require a host with J2EE, since it is written using JSP.

It doesn't matter if you have a company, but for a hobby project that kind of kills it.

Unfortunately it is US only, so it fails to be a game changer, but I guess congratulations are in order.

She is wrong though: In Denmark we extradited one without even asking to see the evidence.

I just want to know what the hell the US has on those politicians.

The point was basically this: The US, while far from perfect, gives people a fair trial, in front of a jury of their peers to laws made by elected representatives that answer at least partly to their constitutions but a constitution and bill of rights prevent this from turning completely into a tyranny of the majority. This gives the laws and system of justice some moral weight.

In Iran you would be hanged simply because you don't believe in Islam, or think women should have equal rights.

This means that there should be no more respect for laws made by Iran than for the average street bully.

The laws of a religious dictatorship doesn't count for anything - you can and should break them.

He didn't deserve that - he haven't even closed gitmo yet.

Wasn't he the guy who said to use the simplest possible thing that could work (the hole duck tape thing?) - if so, just ditch wireless and go with good old fashion Ethernet cable, you can string it along the underside of the chairs along with the other wires.

You guys are doing a good job, but you really need to get YC to scale more - you are leaving money on the table for each startup you don't found.

At put together a book with the most common stuff startups need to know (your essays are good, but they don't have a list of recommended lawyers, how to incorporate, etc).

Nice find, but sadly it only demonstrate how insane the system abuses authors - I though pragmatic programmers 50% was way too high, but this just seems an industry that badly needs to be shaken up.

Yes.

George Washington.

The one of two people in all of history I know of who truely didn't want power.

After the war the British Monarch asked what Washington wanted to do; he was then informed that he planed to return to his farm (which he did) upon which the king commented that if he did that he would be the greatest man in the world.

You have to be some person to get your greatest enemy to say that you are the greatest man in the world.

Also exceptionally brilliant.

Properly because they have too much money (don't laugh, there are a lot of big businesses out there that have this problem), or they need official support.

That is funny, I started thinking about fencing (or rather sword fighting in general) a couple of weeks ago.

Do you by chance have the link to his article? My google-fo seems week.
