Feedback and Advice on R10Cipher Required
Hi Guys

I have successfully launched R10Cipher IV recently and it is doing moderately well. I'm looking for the next step for this software - what should it do to make it better, more capable, more functional, more desirable ?

Download for Windows, Mac and Linux here:

Any feedback appreciated, Cheers - Steve
yeah there are, http://www.stax.net/ for Java EE developers.

I think the reason this is interesting is that it isn't 4G, but gets similar speeds on 3G with the new HSPA+ technology.

Engadget has it pegged as the "MyTouch 3G HD" and has some leaked photos of it's front and rear:

I finally made the leap and installed RVM and 1.9.1/1.9.2. It is done.
Kim Sharma Secret Wedding Wallpapers, Kim Sharma Marriage Photos
Kim Michelle Sharma (born 21 January 1980) is a Bollywood actress and model. Before sometimes, she had hit the headlines for her link-ups with cricketer Yuvraj Singh and other guys. Kim Sharma is back to donning headlines. After we read about the latest man in her life that she met on her African safari recently, now the news is pouring that Kim might have got secretly married to that man. Kim met the man when she recently went on African safari. It was love at the first sight. Both met, fallen in love and secretly married. I am not say it is true..but i have read this news at some sites, so i am posting this news:

Well in may case one way ticket was idiom of course. Get return ticket with open date, whatever. What i meant to say is that the world is open to smart entrepreneurs. Its rare talent thats welcomed everywhere. If you sure that on some reason you cant do something in Manchester there is nothing to stop you from moving to anywhere from China to US.

Problems with US "immigration" for entrepreneurs are mostly overrated. In fact most of entreps dont need to immigrate until they "make it".

Been there. Done that.

If you really want - you can do that rather simply after making some research online. Not talking about getting citizenship or green card here(although its also quite double). Especially if you are from UK. So to me its a weak excuse, sorry.

As a website designer or web developer, quite often you will be working with forms on your website that require date input from customers on the website. One of the easiest ways is to include 3 drop-down boxes on the website form for date, month and year fields respectively. However this does not make your website look professional.

Also, SVG can be embedded directly in HTML5 now. Also, Firefox 4 seems to be making progress on actually supporting SVG animations now.

I don't think SVG is dead, I think it's getting closer and closer to the point where people will actually be able to start using it as was intended. Not quite there yet though.

How do they plan to compete against Google App Engine?

http://www.allbuttonspressed.com/projects/djangoappengine
My site uses a freemium model, and in some ways it kind of has to. The site is a social-network type site where writers critique each other's work. Members can join for free, but their accounts have lots of limitations that are lifted by paying a monthly fee.

For my site, the most important part is having active members, whether they're paying or not. If nobody is active on the site to critique writing, then new writers won't join. Having a pay barrier to joining a community like this one would very quickly strangle it.

Like most freemium plans, only a small percentage convert to a paid plan, but enough do to keep making it worthwhile. I even doubled the price of the paid plan at one point to see if it would affect conversions, and it didn't, so people are finding the model useful.

So freemium works for a model like mine; but for many web apps, especially ones where the customer sets-and-forgets it, it might not make as much sense.

Ask HN: Affordably forming a startup in the Bay Area?
I'm looking to incorporate a startup with a moderate amount of angel funding (less than $20k) without paying a huge chunk of that to an attorney. Unfortunately, attorneys seem to charge upwards of $4/500 an hour. Is this the best I can hope for in the Bay Area, and if so is it worth shelling out this kind of money? Or should I use a cheap online service to form an LLC, and worry about C/S-corp stuff later once I'm profitable and/or have more funding?
Same here, except I've set things up so that any changes I make to my project are automatically synced instantly to a live staging domain, and I don't have a revert command (although I do back up copies of previous deployments). I also keep apt and pypi dependencies in project-local config files and have a refresh command that updates those packages on both the remote and local machine along with some other stuff. I think I might have overengineered things a little.

This doesn't make Facebook, Foursquare et al evil. People should know better. However, common sense should tell these companies it's probably best to keep home addresses private to avoid law suits/scandals. It just seems like the right thing to do.
Why don't you ask the people giving you the funding for some advice?

It also depends, IMO, on whether you're going it alone, or have other people involved. In the latter case, crafting a good, solid agreement is probably significantly more important.
Nope. The worst I've seen is someone thinking they were funny by using command line commands/programs as names. Hilarity did not ensue.
Is there any way we can unite the global community and ditch IE? Or at least make it catch up with everyone else? I've only been involved in the world of web for a short time - but even for me IE is a massive clumsy thorn in my ass.

I agree with the author about the slightly over-the-top usage of CSS to make graphics - but what bothers me more is the fact that IE may either fail to render your creations properly (c.f. http://bit.ly/aqv6jT from the article), or make perhaps better alternatives (like SVG) unecessarily painful.

Have you ever used a hypertext environment built around PostScript? I worked with one for a few years in the early 90s (HyperNeWS).

While this was very powerful and hugely entertaining from a geek perspective it was never going to be suitable for a wider audience - primarily due to the nature of PostScript itself. Don't get me wrong, I really liked PostScript as a programming language, but you have to admit that it isn't something that most people would be happy working with.

Three Simple Ways to Verify If Team is Self-Organizing
Agile methodologies are tailored for cross-functional and self-organizing teams. In this post you will find 3 simple ways to verify if your team is self-organizing.
Positive social feedback is useful, but I think that I would take issue with the definition of social here. Social means genuinely social, not a paid reproduction of social. I would think that people who would genuinely enjoy this service may have some self-image and narcissism issues which would be better served by spending the money addressing those.

This is the same kind of awesome as claiming to be an amazing Casanova due to having slept with many prostitutes. It's not always about the action, but the intention.
How did they disprove it? By showing that a lot of these follows happened close to each other? That seems perfectly explainable if one escort agency decided to start spamming and let their bots loose promoting several of their models at the same time.
I think you hit the nail on the head.

First step would be to establish a few simple gestures that everyone can learn rather than try to create an entire OS with it.
I understood the maxing out to mean "more than enough" so that increasing it won't add more value. Of course, that is also quite an arguable point but for most people it's valid.
Location-based marketing campaign, powered by LOC-AID
And it's absolutely accurate, btw...
YouTube Launches Charts to Rank Top Web Videos
Earlier this year, in a new attempt to attract more customers to its stores, North Face, which sells outdoor apparel and gear, had decided to adopt a novel strategy of location-enabled mobile ads which was powered by LOC-AID. In a nutshell, the company sent promotional text messages to people as soon they are in a defined radius of their stores. Cell phones have long intrigued advertisers because they form part of person’s personal accessories which can be used as a vehicle through which you can track a person’s location in relation to his or her distance from a store. Marketer’s place value on the ability to message a person, when he or she is close to a point of sale.

North Face’s mobile campaign early this year was location-enabled by LOC-AID Technologies, the largest mobile location aggregator in the Americas. The campaign was crafted by Placecast, a mobile ad company. The technology used is sometimes referred to as Geo-fencing. When a person crosses a virtual threshold, a text message is sent, but conditional on the person having accepted to receive messages. Placecast uses a number of techniques like triangulation and a phone’s GPS signal to establish its precise location. In suburban areas the texting range was set to be a mile from the store, while in urban areas it was half that. North Face was enabled to send messages about promotions and new arrivals in the first instance. Per the NYT article dated February 22, 2010, North Face would restrict the number of messages per week to avoid annoyance and will ensure the messages should not be construed as intrusive. Mobile advertising is expected to have a $ 1.4 billion budget by 2014.

Trip to Mars could age your body by 50 years
Another observation for your sample (also South African).

Left home at 17, crashed at a mates place until I could find a job, any job. Most everyone in my circle of friends left home by 19 or 20.

I think there is a fair bit of pressure to be "independent" and "stand on your own feet", at least in the culture I grew up in; especially if you're male. You're expected to have "guts", and not going out and making it on your own, is seen as not having any.

Because of that obstinance, only in the past 3 or 4 years has rent been a low enough percentage of my income that I could start seriously saving (though I didn't, until a year ago), since I felt compelled to live up to the lifestyle people thought I had (the classic trap of coming from a "poor" family).

If I could do it over, I'd have probably stayed with my parents for a couple of years and built up a cushion.

But then, would I be the person I am today, or would I have been as adventurous?

I don't feel grown up though, despite being 30.

Maybe just more aware, and somewhat more responsible. And acknowledging of the fact that a large part of my ability to be "independent" is that I was quite lucky to enter the workforce in 1998 as things were starting to boom.
