No, I get the point. The services are not equal in terms of catalogue depth. They're also not equal in terms of viewing volume. If I used the DVD plan to fill those gaps, I would be annoyed too. But I don't, I only use streaming. I suspe

Consider the price of The Office Season 1-6 DVD set, $169.99. Now consider the price of HD streaming The Office Season 1-6 on Netflix, $7.99/mo. Thank you, Netflix. http://www.nbcuniversalstore.com/the-office-season-1-6-dvd-g...

I also tried both, I was recently promoted into a position where I'm surrounded by developers. They all say both work, but they also all say go Django. I like Django documentation, I'm a rookie and I'm making progress. Progress is encoura

Learn ROR or Django and make some traction. If you ever want to manage start ups you should have an idea of what's under the hood.

I would personally use this over Groupon. Especially if it integrates well with all the current Google services I use. I'm sure Groupon is a bit uneasy about this one.

I'd say yes, but I'm sure the favorable degree to which a recruiter may look upon an employed candidate is less in the tech industry than that of more traditional corporate oriented businesses. If you're applying to start ups, I doubt they'

Is it a web application or just an ecommerce website. If you don't know the difference head over to google. If it's a web app, find a technical co-founder.. if you can't find one and are dedicated to making something happen, start learning

Team up with that new housemate of yours. Make him your CTO, get a prototype up and running. Pick up a book or do some online tutorials in whatever the prototype is built in... Learn HTML & CSS - very easy to learn. You're going to hav

The cash flow app's Balance chart doesn't scale well, the numbers on the axis get cut off when adjusting for money in your account. Same for income vs expense, using the demo on Firefox for mac. Otherwise these are awesome, great job!

I've fallen into this trap as of late... definitely need to shut up and tinker... There are so many wavering viewpoints and opinions on topics like Rails vs Django, what to use when, does your framework hinder acquisition possibilities, etc

How would you scale something like this? $5-$10 to write and send a letter is a bit steep considering a stamp costs $0.44. I understand the value of convenience, but that much mark up?

But you're neither an MCS or MBA. Instead, I feel you should be looking at this from an ROI mindset. If you take the time to scrap together a crap prototype... just so the basic features work, just enough.. you'll have a much more thoroug

You were a former CS major that got lazy, changed majors, and partied... Why not prove your work ethic by teaching yourself how to code a basic prototype? It's a much better way to gain some traction and attract a technical cofounder. It

I also considered experimenting with this in college. I never ended up doing it, though.

I've gone through a few potential co-founders. I'm currently working with one on an idea I had, it's going OK... but that's about it. It's really hard to attract quality Programmers, I'd like to educate myself a bit further before I make

Great rec, I actually came upon that a few weeks ago and it nearly made me decide to go with Python. ...Alright I'm convinced.

I'm familiar with Wordpress, Joomla, and Drupal. I believe I'm looking for more web app dev/functionality vs building a general website. I will certainly check out Umbraco, though.

Yes sir, deciding between Prototype or Jquery. Although I am rather uneducated regarding Javascript as a topic. Any reading you can suggest would help.
