Go with stripe. They are the only one I have seen with no monthly fees. Great product too.

Kinda cool. My startup makes a sandboxing plugin for Firefox, but we plan to extend it to Chrome and IE later. Our sandbox works by doing all the browsing on a completely different computer - sort of a super sandbox.

Cilent side: Firefox plugin for graphics and extension for browser integration. Server side: openvz for process isolation, webkit for browsing, openssl for crypto. I started using vnc as the protocol but it is too slow. Now I'm using NX.

I am sort of doing the browser in the cloud idea. Except the value of mine is security, not tab management. If you really wanted tab management, that seems like an easy job for a simple browser add-on.

I use netbeans with the rails plugin. All free. I have not used any others, so I can't say how good it is.

You can do the automatic sign ups with extensions pretty easily. As for the offline access native apps: does each site then have to write a native app module for your browser for it to work. This doesn't sound like something you can do with

The solutions mentioning IP addresses won't solve the problem. For someone to use firesheep to steal session keys, they have to be on the same network, such as a coffee shop's wifi. Your website will see any request from that network as the

Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with testing the "bargain-bin" hypothesis with subscription based payments? I can see a one time purchase of $10 for a piece of software as appearing cheap, and therefore low quality. But what abo

that's my point. If something can't be specified unambiguously in code, it shouldn't be in a law. Whether the verdict is innocent or guilty shouldn't rest on who happens to be sitting on the bench that day.

man, I have been thinking this for years. If ilaws were written in code there would be no reason to have judges or lawyers. We have those only because spoken language is ambiguous and open to interpretation.

Officially launch my company's first product and snag a sale to a total stranger.

honestly, I hate gmail. I can't exactly put my finger on why though. I'm definitely not a fan of the threaded view.

Check out vps.net. They take a few minutes to come up, but are billed by the minute. However, when you create a vm, they bill you for the remainder of the month up front. When you destroy the vm, you are given an account credit for your unu

Maybe in 1998. Computers don't go "out of date" as fast as they used to. I bought my desktop in 2004 and it wasn't top of the line then. What's it got? Dual core 3.2 GHz, 2G RAM, 400 Gig HD. 7 years old and it still comparabe to what I'd ge

I just read your post here, and your homepage and I still have no idea what this is supposed to do.

You don't get a tax deduction for contributing to a Roth IRA. And if you have high income (above 100Kish) you won't get a deduction for a traditional IRA either.

Wait a minute. The owner of a start up that helps other startups gain early adopters is asking for advice on how to gain early adopters?

I use trac. It has ticket/backlog management, a built in wiki, subversion integration, and it's free. I highly recommend it.

My first real project was writing a game engine, and then using it to write a couple games. After that, I learned a whole lot writing a compiler for a C like language.

I see a similar problem on my palm pre. I type my creds, hit login, and I'm back at the home screen, but not logged in. I've found out though that if I close the browser, and start a new one, it will be logged in. Weird.

Our startup, lightpointsecurity.com is building software to make it virtually impossible to be exposed to malware while web browsing.

I doubt 5 is enough to switch away from a social network. I think you would need at least 25% of a persons friends before that person would consider following.

I have to say skip straight to #4. Finding a tech founder will be the best thing you can do to get started. But you better decide what role each nontech has beforehand. I doubt the tech founder will be happy with 20% equity with the other 4

Sorry, but people won't move away from Facebook for something else until all of their friends do.

When optimizing, don't do it blindly. Do some actual tests or profiling to find the true bottleneck. It might be a specific query, the DB as a whole, etc. But unless you fix the biggest bottleneck, other improvements won't make much diferen

I just tried the site from my phone, and had a couple issues. First, the main report page is in flash, so I couldn't see it. That's not a big deal since I can look at the other links at the top of the page to see the results. But on these p

From this article, it seems that the answer is: "When the C++ coder is intentionally trying to write slow code."

A really good read. More proof that a great team is worth more than a great idea.

In my first startup now. The biggest thing I have learned is the roughness of the emotional rollercoaster. When things are going well, it is an amazing rush. Bur when things are going wrong, the lows can be absolutely brutal. You NEED someo
