In general I think that something as difficult and complicated as starting a business is a bit of a self-selecting outcome. It's like being a doctor, it takes years of effort, you have to make some significant sacrifices, and it's a bit of a gamble.

Most people don't have the stomach to become a doctor, lawyer, Congressman, Supreme Court Judge, professional athlete, business owner, etc. That's perfectly fine.

Knowing is half the battle.

Disclaimer: I work for an SEO agency.

Scaling is a challenging thing, but as with any other company it depends on the growth of the company itself. If the company is not gaining clients then there is no real need to grow. But let's assume that the company is growing and gaining clients at a brisk pace.

How to scale: Finding people who are actually qualified in SEO is tough. Each firm does things differently (White Hat vs Black Hat). The best way to over come this dearth in talent, is to actually train people who want to learn and have a passion for SEO. If you time it right you will have a cycle going so that once the pupil turns to master there will be sufficient clients for that person to handle on their own.

While they are in training you are able to pass on the tasks that take a lot of time and are less client facing (implementation, link building, report generation, etc).

This allows your master to spend time developing the strategy and training the student.

Automation: There are tons of tools to help in various aspects. As for the program you mention, stay away. That is unless you want to see short term results and unhappy clients. The true gains in automation come from not building out crappy links, but by increasing your ability to produce meaningful results thru efficiency gains of repetitive tasks. While that program helps you do that in the short term, it is not a long term solution.

An example of a true gain would be as simple as automating your reporting and monitoring of the various signals that are important in SEO.

As a side note, some of those Large SEO companies who do what you say, may not be so large ;). They may be doing that because either they limited resources or don't know how to do it the right way.

In most countries I'd expect the buying of the illegal copy of the book itself not to be criminal

Why? If you make it legal to buy pirated works, and allow the purchaser to keep the purchased copy, you remove all burden from the consumer to validate the authenticity of the goods they are purchasing.

A consumer should not be so vulnerable as to be terrified of purchasing any book, but they should not be immune, especially if they purchased the illegitimate copy knowing it was illegitimate.
Sure is, and we do organize our 'use' statements the same way one would organize 'import' statements in a python file.

However in this context again we felt that the convenience of just being able to throw these functions in place without having to worry about putting the proper use statement was worth the tradeoff.
Couldn't agree more. A quick scan of the first sentence of a comment is enough to tell me if the rest is worth reading. If you need other people to tell you what you should think then there are other sites you should consider.
Truly speaking, you do not own the information on the pages, only the paper and binding upon which it is printed. I cannot be sure, but I suspect blanking the pages of your book if the license was revoked or fraudulent would be in keeping with both copyright and property law.

We just get the feeling that we own both the object and the information because it is so much more difficult to separate the two than with digital media.

Software Load Balancing using Software Defined Networking
It's funny, I have been around so long in this game that I remember never really liking Netscape, ever.

IE3 in some ways made web dev fun and interesting again. Then IE4 took over and I was pretty happy using it as Netscape grew fat and slow. Netscape 4 was ok and that was the short lived first era of decent browser consistency.

I don't remember much about IE5, head down developing and skipping classes but I do remember when MS broke all our hearts with IE6. It started out all so well then it turned to mush and our faces melted as we glimpsed the future carved in exceptions and special handling.

Web dev from then until very recently has been haunted and stunted and repeatedly annoyed by efforts to include IE6 "Support". Out of a perverse loyalty to doing things well in all browsers and an employer's choices have meant that I have been one of those making an effort all these long dark years. Ten years with a corporate network that I believe is still running IE7 in compatibility mode today taught me lots of useless IE skills and.. creative thinking.

Thanks WP for joining the kill IE6..7..8 effort. 9 isn't bad but they will probably screw it up.

http://infostripe.com/harold
I can think of several large sites or organizations who have dropped IE6 support in the past year.

There's nothing lazy about not supporting PHP 4. It is outdated and flawed, and the last release was in 2008. PHP 5 has been out for over 5 years. The fact that those sites are timebombs is not WordPress's fault or their problem.

The older version of matrix - currently available at http://matrix1.itasoftware.com - had a not-so-inviting page asking you for a login if you had one, but never required it. There's a "Log in as a guest" link that gets you to the same page you'd have as if you had registered as a typical user.

The new version, http://matrix.itasoftware.com/, has no such login requirement.

If there are laws against buying of goods you know are stolen, then of course you are correct. However, if that's not in place, then the buyer didn't violate any laws (since he didn't break the copyright) or contracts.

To circle back to the original point, wouldn't it be kind of outrageous if a police team were allowed to storm your home and violate your right to privacy in search for an illegal copy of 1984?
This just means that these attributes (sharing, copying, etc.) are not something inherent to the medium.

They are precisely inherent to any digital medium.

That's what some find so galling. Part of the point being made here is that you need to resort to cumbersome kludges to prevent people from enjoying the opportunities that are already enabled by the medium.
It's not a slur, but neither is it a term in actual use. It's designed to draw attention to the fact that the author thinks the actual term ("american") is wrong, somehow.

But of course language is never wrong, it's just what people speak.

Americans have always called themselves americans: before there was a USA these were the american colonies. If you wanted to distinguish yourself from the continental subjects you called yourself an "american".

It's only in the last half century of hegemony that people started freaking out and thinking that somehow the term was an attempt to usurp ownership of the continent or whatever.
Placing a call from Google Voice's website DOES call your phone and the other caller's phone, as you said.

Different people feel different ways on ownership. I personally can't wait to own a house. I know my in-laws have never owned where they live, not because they can't but because they don't want to.

They like the fact that someone else cuts the lawn, someone else fixes the major appliances, etc. They like that they can call someone and give them shit when their roof leaks and someone else will deal with the repair.

I like to own things, and I'm not sure why. However, when it comes to digital data I accept that I'm paying for convenience over ownership. MP3's even if I only license them, sure kick the ass of having to rummage through a pile of CD's just to listen to one song.
For modern code that starts off with PHP5 it's fine and understandable to restrict versions.

But WordPress is an "ancient" legacy mess and does not have any advanced code that benefits from PHP5 - you actually have to go out of your way to break it for PHP4. There is nothing in it that cannot be fixed for PHP4 without one extra line or two.

Note that 99.9% of WordPress3 works on PHP4 - only the security updating fails - and it fails in an uncontrolled way, not because it checks for the PHP version and stops - it actually fails silently (which is also typical WP style).

There are hundreds of thousands of shared servers that are still running PHP 4.4.9 just fine and WordPress has a responsibility to make sure security updates keep working if it's easy enough to maintain (and it is).

Years ago Circle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Circle_(file_system)) had a distributed news system call gossip. It pretty much operated as a trust network. You'd pull down gossip from people you knew and republish it (if you chose) along with a trust metric.

These days I'd probably go for something RESTful in website form. The trick would be to clearly define the various roles and make it easy for people to slot in and build compatible parts of the network. Then pump in the hype.

The free market will ultimately decide. They can't lock us down when someone else will make a reader where you CAN copy things.

But first, the free market will have to dismantle the government protections that enforce monopoly rights for authors. That will only happen when we find a better system. Subscriptions may be that system.

It might be, but you're dismissing streaming the torrent directly. If your client can use moving window to select parts—instead of just doing it randomly—you could start watching your show without waiting for 100%. This does not require support in any client other than yours (however I'd imagine you would need at least some percentage of the swarm to use similar algorithm if you want to participate when the torrent is being only just seeded).

Why this is not something commonly used, outside of specific commercial clients and to aid CDN networks, is a complete mystery to me.
> Flash not only has issues with "mobile devices", it severely hurts everyone who's trying to create new platforms - any kind of platforms. If you want to tinker with a CPU and a pair of micro-controllers, after some soldiering and bootstrapping linux on it you'll be able to run any web app you want on your very own platform, which is cool. Flash prevents this from happening in the first place.

What exactly does this have to do with flash though?
How does flash really prevent you from doing this? I suppose you mean without a flash-player on a platform you can't run swf's? Well okay, I think "prevents" is the wrong word here, even though I don't just mean to nitpick.

The biggest selling points for flash are it's ubiquity and the fact that you get around the download-hurdle when using it. It will be a while until there is a solution that 1) addresses those two problems and 2) does everything that flash does and does it just as well.
Of course flash isn't perfect, but there are good reasons for why it exists and will remain doing so for at least the near future.
I think they should go for an intentionally retro feel to keep true to the style and the origins of the book. If they set it in the "modern" conception of the future, it would seem as incongruous as the Atlas Shrugged film featuring modern day railroad magnates.

I've been on both sides as well, having done many lifestyle projects and businesses as well as building startups including successfully getting acquired and I have the opposite view.

I strongly believe that the main reason the author claims he prefers a lifestyle business really boils down to financial reasons and freedom of time associated with running a simple lifestyle business. But if you're in a position where finances are no longer an issue, it boils down to what you really want to do. For me, having been through both and having both do well enough to financially secure me for life, the concept of doing a business to "allow me to live life now" doesn't really apply. I can technically not work by choice and just enjoy life to the maximum extent doing whatever (financially related or not) or do projects on the side to fill up time if that's my hobby.

Instead, I find that I have a tremendous passion in doing startups, where the lifestyle IS the life I want and I don't really care about doing all the other so called "living life now" junk because this is living life at its best in my definition. I am the type that would rather not travel, hit up happy hour, or do other leisurely things in lieu of running my startup doing something cool or what I want to do. I rather focus all my spare time building a startup anyway. So to me, to some extent, it seems like the authors decision is base on the fact that financial, no matter how small of a factor it currently plays, is still a determining factor nonetheless (read associate of time included). The OP can feel free to correct me if this isn't so.

It also doesn't help that it seems the OP only has one startup experience to relate to and its one that didn't succeed (not counting the experience portion; which can be considered success or not separately) and ended up making him and his cofounder split ways (which even on the best of terms and all could still have some influence). Just my two cents.

After all is said and done, it also reflects how many people consider getting into doing a startup under the notion of either not wanting to work for somebody else or because of financial wins, less so because they just have a strong passion for doing startups (similar to people who do open source projects that aren't commercialize to an extent). I'm not saying the OP is like that in any way, but as the old mantra goes, do what you love. And if you love doing startups, freedom/finances isn't going to change your love of the game.

Side Note: I lived in SF for over three years before moving down to the Valley (Mountain View) in favor or startup life over city living. While SF is still very tech centric, in my personal honest opinion, it doesn't hold much of a candle to the Valley itself and majority of the people I've ever talked to arguing in favor of living in SF, are to a large extent, arguing for a life outside of the startup world. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that but the distinction should be made for non-Bay Area residents who may not understand the difference. (Again, personal opinion)
Ahh sorry about that I sign my link as a sig all the time out of habit. I guess in a way it could be related as that link is a project I work on that has minimal intentional IE6 support. :) I'll remember that tip regardless.

Would it still feel wrong if you geared it specifically to abandonware roms? Perhaps something to consider.
I imagine the main reason they moved to PHP5 was not for features but simply because the PHP development team ended support for PHP 4. That means no more security fixes for version 4. This point was mentioned explicitly by WordPress.

WordPress didn't end support until 3 years after PHP 4's end of life. I think that's a more than reasonable amount of time to wait before enforcing an upgrade.

The fact that WordPress does not have any code that benefits from PHP 5 is undoubtedly, in part, due to its extended support for PHP 4.

> There is nothing tricky about the GPL (or any other Open Source license) in this context (or really in any other, since the license is extremely well-documented), and it is FUD to suggest otherwise.

So you're claiming it's not tricky to distribute software under incompatible licenses especially where the GPL is involved? If that's the case, then either the rest of us are not holy enough to grace your presence or you're being dishonest and/or short-sighted - since you obviously know the GPL so well, I need not explain why. While we're at it, what version of the GPL are we even talking about? because GPLv3 and GPLv2 are incompatible - what?. I dunno, at what point is a work considered a derivative? because if I re-use some GPL code in a client's code, at some point that client's code will have to be GPL compatible even if it's not closed-sourced - and in-case you didn't know there are open-source licenses out there which are not compatible with the GPL so I simply cannot understand how you can just come in here, try to put words in someone else's mouth and then proceed to over-trivialize the issue. I can tell you for a fact that I can take any piece of GPL code and use it behind a web server and make none of my changes public. That is indeed a fact, but only in certain contexts which depends greatly on the version of the GPL we're talking about.
Surely those goals are worthy, and they resonate with me, you, and most people here. Sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case for a lot o people out there.

I agree with this assessment, but have trouble coming to terms with it and the popularity of religions that offer an afterlife.
