With that $41m they got, not a whole has been achieved thus far. What is the problem they are trying to solve with this?

I mean, cool a broadcasting tool that i.e. Qik.com or Justin.tv already provides. It drains you battery, it drains you data plan. Unless you use WiFi, but other than that it is not really a app that will get you far.

When I go on vacation I use it for the peace and not to show my pleasurable moments with my friends. When I go to a concert, I go there for myself and not my friends. Plus the quality that gets pushed out is so bad, especially sound, it is better for them to wait for a Youtube upload than see and hear it from my crappy lit phone with bad microphone.

Just like others say, quit using the word pivot. And the website could use a video explaining, because reading it her e in a comment, MAKES ZERO SENSE!

There is a difference between a real celebration and whoring up your myspace page.

Re:How I got a burnout on Thursday September 01, 2011 @12:06PM (#2950560)
My mom is a burnout. She is no longer capable of working at all. She can fulfill tiny things at home for a short period.

We canceled many vacations because of her burnout. So treat it serious, because it can cost you your career and will control your life!

Re:Ask HN: Are we ever going to run out of space? on Sunday August 28, 2011 @11:27AM (#2934079)
We potentially can run out of space, the same way we run out of Oil etc.

But we can go into deeps. The ground is an awesome solution for storing data and building data centers. Its great for cooling, but bad when the earth does bad stuff.

Thanks! I totally forgot about SO.

Sorry if this caused any problems. :)

Ask HN: Error loading RubyGems plugin

So I have been trying to remove and reinstall RoR. Reason for that is, something bothered me the first time I installed it last week but I was just trying to learn it and wanted to remove it as soon as I got the book; Railsspace.And now I am stuck with this:$ gem install bundler Error loading RubyGems plugin "/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/open_gem-1.4.2/lib/rubygems_plugin.rb": Could not find...

Re:RealNetworks crushes Dutch webmaster for hyperlink on Thursday August 25, 2011 @02:03PM (#2925812)
All I read was, we are still alive and after your money for providing a better alternative.

I am surprised that RealNetworks is still here. That software was so bad!

Re:The website launch checklist (part 2) on Monday August 15, 2011 @07:34AM (#2886334)
A checklist is supposed to be like that.

Remember you are not making the checklist only for you. If you work for a company they need to have prove that the checks have been done correctly. This is a form of auditing.

Also, if you reduce the text on that list then you have a checklist. So basically you generate 2 separate documents. One is the checklist, other one explains it.

OWASP is an awesome project. If you really want to be secure use that as a guideline! Thanks for reminding me of that. I couldn't figure the name. All I could think of was WebScarab...
Re:The quick website launch checklist on Sunday August 14, 2011 @02:23PM (#2884116)
Good question. I did a quick Google search and here is a solution. http://sqlmap.sourceforge.net/

You could also let a program like Nessus run on your website. But that goes globally and will detect it.

Re:The quick website launch checklist on Sunday August 14, 2011 @01:36PM (#2884027)
Good list, but what about security?

SQLInjections etc? You need to have that covered more than the rest in my opinion.

Re:Jonathan Stark responds to Sam Odio on Sunday August 14, 2011 @06:02AM (#2883284)
Okay fair enough then. Thanks for clarifying :-)
Re:Jonathan Stark responds to Sam Odio on Sunday August 14, 2011 @05:17AM (#2883216)
I had a quick interaction with Lon on TC about the situation.

To me is sounds like "Sam" is doing this for personal gain. It feels like promoting, marketing. Because in all the posts about this, referrals are thrown to his business and his brothers. Which to me is wrong in the first place, as it was about the card not their damn business.

Secondly, it was theft wasn't it? The card wasn't his, it was a good that was lend to him. In this case not only him but severals others as well. It was lend in a leap of faith, no matter it was an experiment or it wasn't. It wasn't lend to be stolen from. If everyone steals something they lend, the world would be an even shittier place. Because if that was the case, I am going to try and borrow a car.

So it was illegal in the first place. Second place he used script to monitor the card and its movements. Which is illegal unless he had a wiretap approved. Third, he was not the owner so he committed theft. Fourth, if it was for charity - USE YOUR OWN GODDAMN POCKETS! You sold a business in the past to Facebook, you have more then enough to go buy.

Or am I seeing this all wrong? Could be, as I am far too young to maybe see the greater good.

Re:Facebook is sharing your phone number on Thursday August 11, 2011 @09:35AM (#2872733)
Not to be a total dick, but I hope that those phone numbers are disconnected because the smart ass who made the article failed on blurring out the numbers correctly...
Someone said business continuity? It can be costly, but could save your business. Stop saving that VC money and start saving your business.
More importantly: Entrepreneur receives data from people voting.

You are signing up with Facebook Connect in order to vote. Which means he will receive more data to add to his companies database. I think this kid is to smart of HBS! He is outplaying everyone who is voting and not realizing that they are providing him datasets.
