Ask HN: If I mod a GPLv3 webapp and host it must I release source?
After an hour or so of reading it's my understanding that this is only required for AGPL. Any insight is appreciated.

Re:Ask HN:Is it actually possible to earn money online?
on Wednesday November 18, 2009 @10:29PM (#949663)
I made $2300 over the course of two months a few years back using Comission Junction through PPC arbitrage. I found the entire industry to be really spammy and full of scams (not so much CJ but ShareASale, AzoogleAds, Clickbank, etc)
1. Sign-up for CJ/Azoogle/etc 2. Digitalpoint.com for YAHOO/MSN/GOOGLE credit vouchers $200 in ads for $20. 3. PPC account (Google not reccomend for newbiews) 4. www.sherpastore.com/ to accquire matieral to read internet marketing case studies, understand landing pages, call to actions, etc. 5. html/css/design skills to create your own landing pages, crazyegg.com to understand user clicks.
Ultimatley its more work for less money than you would make at even a retail job.. but if you are serious I am sure you can come up with innovative ways to drive user to your links and maybe even sign-up for trials or products. I made the bulk of my earnings from Rhapsody sign-ups using obscure music genres on MSN. While the money seems okay -- you're likely to lose quite a bit while discovering a niche -- that is if this even works anymore -- I know google was starting their own affiliate network and i see information for arbitrage being advertised by gurus on CNBC at 3AM.

I noticed a bunch of people are using enom for email. I assume this is because of their hosted exchange. Does anyone have any experience with enom's standard hosted exchange and using it using mobile devices such as BB/iphone

The MacBook Pro line is solid, especially with the unibody construction. You also have the choice of running Windows and/or OSX. I converted after the Intel switch and haven't looked back.

I find the behavior a bit odd myself but liken it to the same extreme passion that some people exhibit during professional sporting events.

I made 1K in a month with CJ/adCenter arbitrage about a year ago. But I felt pretty spammy, then I saw the Jason Calcinis speech at Affiliate Summit and thought he was on point in regards to adding value. I'm still trying to figure out that part. :)
Re:Angry iPhone Owners Twitition for Lower 3G S Upgrade Prices

It'd be nice to sign another two year contract for the subsidized price. I am interested to see the new componets and actual processor speed of the new device. I also want Nike+ so I may be willing to put down the additional money but I definitley don't want too.
Ask HN: Kindle DX - Technical Books. Would you buy?
I'm curious what your thoughts are. With DRM free titles from pragmatic programmers, etc. Im thinking about buying one. Only if the PDF support enables it to display tables properly. One portable device that enables me to carry around a ton of books for $500 doesnt sound like a bad idea to me.

LOL. I live in Northern Virginia and that craziness does not surprise me one bit!
One night on the way home from grabbing one drink I accidentally turned into a govt complex that was probably CIA or something. I figured I'd tell the guys at the gate I made the wrong turn and they'd let me leave. Low and behold I was held within the gates for 3 hours, subjected to a series of alcohol tests conducted by several feds who rolled up in unmarked black suburbans repeatedly asking me what I was doing there. At the end of all the huffing and puffing I passed every single test and was warned I got off easy as I was clearly intoxicated and next time things wouldn't go so smoothly. This was after I agreed to a voluntary search of my vehicle with hopes of just getting the hell out of there.
Ask HN: Thoughts on Kurzweil and Singularity
I don't have enough karma to create a poll, but with the upcoming movie releases of "Transcendent Man" and "The Singularity is Near" along with recent write-ups in WSJ, Time, etc. I think the mass population is starting to get doses of Kurzweil's vision of Singularity. I am currently reading 1999's "Age of Spiritual Machines" and was wondering what you guys think of his vision.. I for one...
