it's missing 'pass' which is essential if you wish for automatic indentation to work properly

What I want changed in Java is removal of (non-final) static variables.

Actually, I often find that I typed "ww." because Firefox is not responsive enough after Ctrl+T.

I hope the "next HTML" has a way to do it declaratively, so I can disable Javascript.

Agreed. SVN is much more user friendly than GIT (command line interface).
The major reason I haven't made the switch from CVS/SVN yet (and am unlikely to).

I like your UI better than Google's. This may be an opportunity for more publicity.
Re:Cofounders - how high a bar?

To answer a few questions:
One of my issues with this person is that while I do like his company, and respect him in a lot of ways, we think differently about how to move things forward. I'm much more of a "below the radar, live cheap and get something working" guy, whereas he's more along the lines of "VC funding or bust", without even having much of a prototype. That just sounds bad to me. Though I recognize that funding at a later stage in the game would certainly help, I think we'll have a better bargaining position if we have something that sort of works in hand.
That's another thing... I believe more in having mostly technical people. Different skill sets can certainly be a good thing (the Paypal story in Founders at Work was a good example), but it's also a good way to start thinking "hrm... I'm building the code... what is that other guy actually doing?"
Juwo: I'm not planning on stealing the idea or anything like that. I have plenty of ideas of my own. The one he's hatched up is pretty good, but it's not going anywhere in terms of code or a web site or stuff like that. Just paperwork for investors...

[I submitted this anonymously because the person in question may very well read this site now or at some point in the future.]
In short: I have a potential co founder, which is something that everyone seems to say is good. The problem, though, is that I don't think this guy is perfect (he may well think the same of me), for various reasons. Ok, no one is perfect, but I know people that I think would be "about as good as you could get" (unfortunately they aren't available), and this guy doesn't measure up.
Better to strike out on my own, or throw in my lot with someone who's perhaps not the right person?
