If you want to know more about forking processes vs threading. You should look at TCPServer.py in the standard libary. You can look at the ForkingMixin class and the ThreadingMixin class. A good Python server source code to read is the Cher

I've had some experience using drupal and while it can be frustrating at times, my overall experience with it is pretty positivie. I've used it mainly to build websites for clients, these are the usual bread-and-butter variety sites for sma

Well, its like saying that you should sue the police when your house got robbed instead of the robber. Scribd is the one with the intent of gaming the system, Google just wants to provide relevant search results, so its clear to me who shou

upped because I hate it when every time i try to search for something, there's a scribd link for something TOTALLY IRRELEVANT to what I'm looking for on the front page of google masquerading as real content. I don't like their SEO practices

Ok. So we've had Thinkature, Yvew, Dabbleboard, dimdim..etc..etc and a bunch of others. Did any one of them really make MONEY after webEX was sold? So whats so different about this one besides a nicer interface? That being said, Congrats on

My suggestion is to chop it up and develop it piece by piece. Looking at your app, it seems to do a lot of different things such as: - Form Editor - Calendar - Permission based file access system You could build just one of these components

I'd stop peddling your HotOrUnderaged app here since your other links were already killed. Granted its not your fault but sometimes that just how things are. If you want to promote it, I'd recommend spamming myspace or something, its the mo

Its kind of unfair that only big companies can get this sort of competitive advantage while smaller startups are stuck paying taxes through their nose under the draconian tax policies of the US government. There should be a guide or service

Some feedback and thoughts on Picurio after playing with it for a bit 1) Sweet interface, looks very iPhoto-like 2) I like the fact that the interface is built with Objective-J/cappacino, it feels more "native" than flash, which is what a l

I think you should be a little more specific in order for people to give you any real advice. From what I can see, all of the ideas which you have listed deal with viable markets. HR, E-learning and Problem-Solving(??) are all useful domain

As I've mentioned here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=684343 Since many think I'm being disrespectful towards the hardwork of others, i've abandoned cloning SO and decided to write something else for fun. As for what I did over the

I'm sorry if I came across as disparaging. I mean no disrespect to either the Fog Creek employee, Stackoverflow or anyone else. I read both Joel and Jeff's blog and I have the utmost respect for both of them and their work. Thinking it over

I think you missed the point, their key innovation is to use a content preserving warp on a frame-by-frame basis to recreate almost ANY motion path they like ( provided that the path is close enough to the original path of course ). The sof

Cute idea, but I wouldn't pay to use something like this. You can just open up whatever file in a texteditor and delete some header info or even some strings randomly, you have a corrupted file. Besides, by handing in fake homework, you are
