I understand that, I know we're not going to abolish government incompetence, but lessen the degree is something realistic to shoot for.

I believe, but I'm not for certain, that developing a plan includes also coming up with new and helpful ways to do community service, not just a "here, 50 hour requirement, go have fun." That's something the Bush admin would do, I sure hop

Thanks for the advice and good luck, again, to all those venturing out there in a couple of weeks.

Well, the determination was made partly on what I and my co-founder have both experienced (being we're both students, freshmen in college), and additional talking we've done with both teachers and students in various types of classes. We'v

From my position, I see two root causes why this is the problem and they could be fixed (its what my venture is working on doing). The problem with laptops most notably is the fact that they have this screen. The screen more or less creat

Being bost companies have denied it already and the circumstances around it all (not to mention the fact that Microsoft and Yahoo reaching a deal from supposedly dead talks in less than 24 hours at ~$19 a share? c'mon!) lead me to believe t

Very nice collection of resources for anyone, professional or amateur. This could be especially helpful when learning a new programming language or just using one that you haven't in a while. Something I've also found helpful (when doing we

Good Article.... I completely agree with Fred's positions and beliefs in this article. I especially agree on points 1,4, and 5. In government especially, and as President of the United States, its critical that you surround yourself with

I think the title is slightly misleading but whats actually said in the article is very much true. In any early stage company, how well they fit together with not only you but the rest of the team members is just as important as what they

Article makes a good point. Microsoft is a colossal monster that, while not as fierce as it once was back in the age of the browser wars, still no beast to be taken lightly. I'm reminded of pg's article about "Microsoft is Dead" ( http://p

I've never really understood Facebook from the business side at all. I generally like the service they offer (generally, though it is really lacking interesting and helpful aspects) but I've never understood their thinking on business move

I like the concept. If it does whats advertised and without too many bugs it sounds like something a LOT of sports buffs would like. So it looks like a good idea with a lot of potential... beyond that I have not yet tried it myself, but I

That's important to note, I know specifically that some non-major service providers (meaning: not Verizon, Comcast, etc.), sometimes don't even show you what spam you get. So, if your using a smaller service provider and you still haven't

Recession and YC Rejection.... sounds like part of some hit new rap single for Wall Street. It's been said a lot lately as a reminder, not only by people of this community but also by pg himself in the letters and in HN comments. Don't sto

Didn't make it but we're still moving forward. I mean, its not like PG and Ycombinator is the ONLY way to make a start-up work. What about those billions of them that came before YC existed?

I don't think its as much as "need permission to start a company." It's just more at a chance to walk through a door of opportunity that not everyone gets to do. It's not just an investment, but its an excellent opportunity to network and

They do this, of course, because we all know that MTV is "Musical Television" and MTV actually plays music. ;-) </sarcasm> Nah, I'm sure they hired this guy cause he actually knows something about what he's doing. More than likely
