Differences between Sharepoint 3.0 and Hosted Microsoft MOSS 2007
Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Hosted Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007 hosting are both part of the SharePoint family. However, Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007, both have different features and capabilities. This article enlists the difference between SharePoint 3.0 hosting and the SharePoint server 2007. This document might enable businesses and individuals to decide which SharePoint Services would suit the requirement.

Windows SharePoint Services (WSS)

Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS) is an add-on to Windows Server. WSS offers the base collaborative infrastructure, supporting HTTP- and HTTPS-based editing of documents, as well as document organization in document libraries. Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 also has version control capabilities. You can setup wikis, and blogs for a team. Windows SharePoint Services also includes end-user functionality such as workflows, to-do lists, alerts and discussion boards, which are exposed as web parts to be embedded into SharePoint pages. WSS 3.0 is built on top of ASP.NET 2.0. WSS was previously known as SharePoint Team Services. Out of the box, only one workflow is obtainable, which is the tri-state work flow for easy workflow organization. Additional workflows could be created through SharePoint designer or Visual Studio .NET.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 has additional functionalities when compared to WSS 3.0.

One of the most widely used functionalities with both the Microsoft SharePoint Hosting technologies is that you can create conference space, and use the workspace to issue the agenda; invite attendees and discuss points. You can use the same workspace to track the points and tasks that were mentioned during the meeting. You can view the calendar and decide the best time for you and the attendees before scheduling the meeting.

Microsoft SharePoint server comes with solutions that are modified for specific businesses or tasks. You can convert the template with your own logo, forms, and create user alerts. Managers and CEOs can keep track of actions using these templates. Forums and discussion groups can be used to discuss important projects. This saves plenty of time in arranging meetings and co-ordination.

Using Microsoft Sharepoint 2007 you can centrally store the documents which can be accessed by users. You can control which document is available to which user. Changes to the document can be tracked. These files can be accessed from any location in the world. Many documents like Word and Excel can be opened and edited in the browser itself.

As we move towards a world, where time and boundaries no longer are barriers towards doing business; Microsoft SharePoint And hosted Exchange 2007 is becoming trait rich tools which will help us improve efficiency and increase effectiveness. Using a vendor to host these feature rich collaborative suites will significantly save your precious dollars and time.
The cynic in me says "37 signals surprised that people can make a lot of money without raising as much of a ruckus about it as they do themselves", but that's a bit uncharitable, as it works well for them, and they produce lots of good stuff, including Rails, which I use myself. And in any case, his point is a good one (I keep thinking of patio11's bingo cards... sheesh:-). I just wish I could find my own niche:-/
From the comments:

DHH: The whole point and problem with this is that
these private successes prefer to be private.
So I’m certainly not going to out and name the people
who confined in me personally about how well they are doing.

Well if some business really wants to remain private about their success, then why blame the media or anyone else for not talking about them. I would have well understood the complaint if media was not giving them enough attention even if they were looking for it and deserved it.

Little what i understand about publicity, if you have a reasonable story (of an online success) and are willing to push it, you have a fair chance of getting it covered a fair bit. Obviously, to reach Google & Facebook news levels, you have to become as big as them.

p.s. This could be an opportunity for some 'website' (not a startup) to cover successful online businesses and their stories. Or may be there already is a one ..

There is a limit to what any editor can give you for any language that's not amenable to static analysis.
A lot of them aren't really irrational, or maybe it depends on your definition. For example the endowment effect - it would be stupid to part with your only ticket unless the buyer pays a large premium.

India’s first currency museum project faces roadblock
This is a great read.
I'm currently trying my hand at my very first internet related business. I'm an aspiring hacker (I figured out programming is what I love) but before this I started a traditional business. It was a lifestyle business and I did it mostly just to "learn how to build a business", so the point is, I can attest to every one of these insights. Business is all about the data. That's definitely something a hacker can appreciate! The operational cost of running a traditional brick-and-mortar business is what usually does the company in. Fees for everything, permits, bills, bills, bills, equipment, employees, insurance, taxes ... it really literally kicks your ass....
So like this article encourages ... please pay attention to your numbers!

spot on solidworks (i still can't find foss alternative)

in uni back then i learned I-DEAS (very expensive software)

i think uni = slave preparation (debt + nonstartup softwares)

another is matlab (expensive) ... my uni should teach python+numarray+matplotlib instead

NB: i self learned solidworks from manual because our research group used it (despite the official uni strong support on I-DEAS) ... i must thank my advisor

i think pg is right that the 'test' is less corrupt in graduate school because the professor (using own budget) has to work with the student (my adv is from mit, never wanted to order new expensive stuff, always build from scratch ... making us suffer in a good way)

Sorry. I think I totally botched this post.

I'm looking for a way to automatically look up any sites linking to a given URL.

I'm building a memetracker and while I've got the related stories and clumping of them in hand, tracking down the discussion links in the way that Techmeme does it is proving much harder to do.

I was wondering if there was a way to do it other than Cosmos. And if not, what would be involved in creating something that does that? Building a web spider?
This is the first sentence: "The media is biased against stories that want to be told."

While the point of the article seems to be this: "In the mean time, many of the real stories are never told. The quiet successes by small teams who stand little if anything to gain by sharing their numbers and telling about their success."

Did I miss something?
I recently discovered http://www.urbanmobs.fr/ , which is a cool-looking visualization of mobile phone calls and sms.
It seems to me that these traits have become a part of us over a long process of social evolution. So even though they may seem irrational when observed in such a sterile environment, they must be the most successful behavior for human beings to have, otherwise we would not be doing them.
Great article. I have been consulting and though I stand by all of these, it had been real hard to manage some of those. I can't say it in words how much this article helps.
Emacs here, just watch some of the screencasts that are floating about if you want to see what it can do.
I'm learning Python in emacs after learning Matlab with its default editor and environment. I miss the visual file trees and the easy visual debugging, though I haven't completely gotten used to the emacs way of doing things yet. It does strike me that learning the emacs way is harder.
Where do people get the notion that EC2 bandwidth is expensive from? Pricing is $0.17 per GB for first 10,000 GB and drops after that. $0.17 per GB is actually pretty cheap, and unless your shipping large amounts of high quality video, you are unlikely to rake up a big bandwidth bill.

Slicehost (which I am a customer of and have absolutely nothing against) seems cheap if you look at the bundled bandwidth, but they can do that on the basis that most people (e.g. me!) don't use anything like their quota. If you want more on top, their FAQ says that pricing for extra bandwidth starts at $0.30 per GB.

My Firebug addiction is at the point now where I can barely think about CSS without firing it up. The most painful part of a project is still IE-compatibility but no longer just because of general quirkiness - it's more about being forced off of Firebug to make edits.

He's a non-native English speaker (writer) and I think this is just your basic editing mistake.

I think the first sentence is supposed to be "The media is biased in favor of stories that want to be told." As in, somebody intends that calling Kevin Rose a boy billionaire becomes a media coup. It's intentional.

The rest of the essay supports that point.
Income from consulting scales linearally with the time you put into it

While that is true, there's no need for your value/hour to be fixed. E.g. if you're worth $x/hr to implement something from scratch for one customer, you ought to be worth $n*x/hr to do the same or similar work for another, since now you have experience, reusable code, a reputation, etc. There is a limit obviously, but it's not clear when you start what exactly it might be.
Maybe someday it will be illegal to copy and paste to avoid being authenticated.
Whatever the buzz factor & whatever the love/hate relationship people have with 37S' pointed and sometimes downright obnoxious blog, it's nothing compared to Facebook or Digg, while 37s has real products that generate actual money.

They are closer to being a "no ruckus" businesses than the others.
Considering Abstractions
Forgive me for the following, but it's like that Kenny G song: You gotta know when to fold em, know when to run.

You're in a sunk cost situation. Throwing good money (time, stress, your dwindling sanity) at this situation is not going to come out in your favor.

You've already got your answer. You're the most miserable and depressed ever? Who on earth would listen to that line and tell you to stay? It's time for you to leave.

Now you just have to work out the specifics.

Don't wait til you're broke, though, because then you'll be really desperate.

Don't confuse the "when it's not there, I want it" feeling with genuinely missing it, because that's pretty much the stereotypical situation with any abusive relationship. Once you're truly free from it, your overall feeling is going to be like there's a giant weight that just lifted from your shoulders.

You can get through this. You've already taken the big step of admitting you're miserable & seeking a solution.

Best of luck.

This has been said in various ways in various media, but much of life has a price/performance question. If you want stuff that's cheap, pretty good and ultimately disposable, then you make one set of choices. If, however, you want something that's a little better, or a little more robust, or ... you make another set of decisions.

I've found that Wally-world is a little disorganized and has a lesser selection than other stores I shop at. Great for things like cans of corn, or sodas, or paper towels, but not where I go for tech items, books, etc. One has to balance saving that last 0.20 dollars vs. the "biological diversity" of the shopping scene.

We might see similar results between e-tailers and retailers, but so far both seem to coexist. As others have written, make sure you do a little (more) business with stores you like to try to help keep them around...
It depends what you're after. Some people would rather a guaranteed lower income, rather than the chance of the big time. 37s have gone for the former, Digg+Facebook have gone for the latter.

Both are valid strategies, but the latter has far more potential upside (With way more risk). That's probably why it gets more press.

Who wants to read about another software company that sells products and makes a few million?
Reading about solid businesses that make a few million isn't that interesting.

High growth high risk high potential upside is exciting... Disruptive technologies tearing away the old industires. That's news worthy. That's why it gets the coverage.
Study skills for college
Just found this site on college study skills, I got the book they offer and it is working for me.
Yes you can. There have been stable user-level filesystem drivers for years for Linux, Mac and Windows.

Also Textmate / eText / gedit with gedit plugins have:

* Richer interfaces (eg, code folding on out of the box)

* Better discoverability (eg, you can stumble upon how to change your tab width faster in these apps than you can using vimtutor)

* Easier customization (ever tried writing a vi syntax schema)?
Debugging is overrated, at least for Python. Have a clean codebase with a good test coverage and you will never miss the visual debugger.
But that's EXACTLY why the education system was created in the first place... literally to produce workers competent enough to work in factories, during the industrial revolution. I would not call this conspiracy theory at all, it is Capitalism in action. Schools are essential to the Capitalism engine, not for enlightenment, but to produce and maintain a consistent flow of jobs, industries, and commerce.

Note I am actually a fan of Capitalism. Though a prerequisite here is to learn the rules of the game (to optimize personal success in a capitalistic society), and apply them accordingly... a task that as you point out, should be, but is not taught.
"possibly build tools to take a chunk of writing and try to remove your fingerprint from it, i.e, protect anonymity,"

The standard procedure to do this, is to chain translations to other languages and back. The message remains, but the wording will pick up some noise.
And linode is $0.10 per GB.
If you turn up the fan the cloth moves in the wind but it does not move like a flag in the wind. The cloth currently maintains one form like the wing of a plane. It should move more like a flag in the wind though. But, still it is very cool.
25C3 Chaos Communication Congress "Nothing to hide"
Doesn't emacs really make more sense for a low-level language, though? A programmable editor seems like it would be more helpful with more code and more code repetition. Maybe it's because I'm starting with Matlab/Ruby/Python, but I really don't get why emacs and vim are so awesome.

I'm following the advice of the sages and learning emacs anyways. But mostly it's because I figure the sages are smarter than I am than actually seeing the need for it.

Also, debuggers are REALLY useful when you're learning a language for the first time. I shudder to think what my last machine learning project would have been like without a debugger. Maybe when I'm an ace, I can "just write good code and tests". But I'm not an ace, I'm a newb. I like seeing what my variables are doing and trying out commands that I think might do what I want them to do.
I use Geany which is very nice indeed. I use it for PHP and javascript. When I switched to Linux, I spent a long time looking for a replacement for my beloved PSPad and this was it. It has solid support for gvfs, good syntax highlighting, and a host of other features.

"ruckus" just means they make a lot of noise about themselves, via the blog, their book(s), conferences, and so on. In terms of their business, it seems to work, so one can hardly blame them for it.
Buyer's market as crunch hits virtual realty
I agree with the point that it would be interesting to hear about more companies that are enjoying more "modest" success . It seems like most of those folks are too busy running their businesses to leave much time for PR though.

I think a bigger problem is not hearing about massive successes that fall outside the tech elite's interest. For instance WebKinz the virtual world/stuffed animal hybrid probably generates 9 figures of revenue per year, given Club Penguin was doing ~$75MM when it got acquired. How many TechCrunch stories have they had? A quick search yields 0 dedicated results. Thats huge revenue for what amounts to a startup within a toy company and no coverage in the publication of record. However we hear about every stupid ad based socialgraphwidgetfacebookappgcasualgame startup that raises $500K.

Also, it seems a little silly to say "We want to stay small!" and then to say "Why doesn't the press want to write about us!" Rails is awesome, but the rest of their offering has been eclipsed by Google Docs. They have done a great job attracting press compared to the value their products create. Same goes for other small companies where there isn't a lot of "there" there.

Once you get bought, you aren't perceived as an independent company. Media focuses on the buyer not seller. Which is one reason to make them pay cash.
"More importantly, netbooks need better operating systems - in particular, a very fast, mobile operating system that can download and install trusted applications on the fly, over the air."

Dell netbooks _already_ ship with Ubuntu installed.

The fact that he hasn't given it a go speaks to two failures:

- Most system builders putting WTF Linux distributions on their devices. Some are really bad.

- System builders advertising Windows as the high end choice and mostly only making Linux available on crippled hardware configurations.

Still, at least the hardware is all Linux compatible, so I can sit here installing trusted apps over 3G with one click while he waits for his perfect OS to show up :)
it is surprising that a story about someone moving to a new office makes into the front page of HN! the new office might have all the fancy features, but, there are a few things that annoy me:
1. I don't really care for all those fancy features and if I were considering joining a company those fancy features will be the last thing in my mind before I make a decision.
2. If one still has the urge to know who moved where and what they have got there then they can always find that in other sites (hardly HN stuff IMHO)
3. And the most annoying bit is that this story got to the front page while a lot of other threads that I found interesting and would have helped me become a better Hacker usually get a couple of points and pretty much no discussion at all.

I love HN and the community and still read a lot of interesting stuff here, but, I am beginning to feel that HN is slowly slipping away to be a site that also has a few genuine and invigorating posts/discussions about entrepreneurship and programming.

I'm not sure I buy the equivalence of no revenues = higher upside. There are plenty of companies that got big & famous by making products & selling them. These include software companies.

Sure there is something you might call a 'type' that can be built on your latter. But it's not the only type.
Unless your comparing novels worth of text the accuracy is going to be poor for most situations.

PS: Changed "extremely low" to poor just in case.
Currently using TextMate and enjoying it. Used many editors, but the ones I used the most were vi, vim, jEdit and emacs (ordered chronologically)

Many drugs vary depending on a patient's own DNA, but there's also a host of other factors that influence the effectiveness of a drug.

For instance, an antibiotic's effectiveness is much more a function of whether the bacteria fighting is sensitive or resistant to that antibiotic.
Emacs

I do PHP professionally, mainly Ruby with my own projects, but I dabble with lots of languages.

It's very powerful and any feature it doesn't have, I can add myself. Yesterday I was prototyping something for work, I had my main php file open along with the js and css files all in their own split window. More than one co worker stopped in to see what editor I was using after noticing my screen.

The learning curve is very high, but print out a cheat sheet and keep it near you, in less than a week I had the basic functions memorized and now rarely need to look up a command (generally an obscure one). Once you get the hang of it though, every other editor feels crippled, that's my experience at least.
Most often, people talk non-stop about their success when they want to exit the business. If you have a profitable niche you better remain quiet and get as much growth as you can before the party stalls.

In the investment industry the most bullish articles on a sector/asset class appear exactly near the top of the market. Often these articles are pushed by fund managers who have taken positions earlier and now need enthusiastic public to 'buy them out'.
