That is a possibility, I probably need a co-founder / more team members.

I've got a product that I've built and I applied to Y-Combinator with it, they denied my request. Today I was reading TechCrunch and another company doing the same thing as me was on the list of the 7 most interested start ups at 500 start-ups.what does this mean? Do I fail at life?
Mostly PHP/Mysql, but I've built an photo blogging Android app and a iphone app with login, xml parse, form submission.

Anyone looking for someone with mad skills in Toronto?
I created a dumby facebook account to get ahold of some friends who dont use email. After about a week facebook gave me an ultimatum, give them my phone number or upload a color picture of my drivers license. I decided to say good bye to facebook.

Now they are used to stream more of the corporate medias propaganda driven metanarrative (ie pop-culture, movies, music, reality-tv).
Why would anyone try to figure something like this out? I don't think any real hackers are going around trying to figure out how to kill people, they want money or something else of value (not to say a life doesn't have value).
Why as a community are we allowing things like this to happen, even worse, publicizing them and acting like its 733t and impressive. If something like this happened at anything other than the 'Black hat' security conference this wouldn't be alright.
Unfortunately it seems that sometimes too much information leads to apathy, if we know all the problems of the world our ability to affect change in any single one seems diminished. Maybe it would be better to know less and focus on that instead.

I want to download a movie, but I'm worry about getting into legal trouble, is that a reasonable concern or am I being overly paranoid?
With PHP you can create the headers at the top of the page, with python you can create a 'script' that sends custom headers to a server, thus you could tell the server that its a image via the headers but it could be something different ie a script... Any good developer will look out for this stuff though.
Thats enough to buy coffee for a month, in my books that success :D
A 'restart' or 'start over' button after the 'you lose' dialogue would be a nice addition.
Great game.
Its kind of like that Gawker redesign that everyone hated.
I work from home and its depressing sometimes, but it could be my job, its pretty boring.
Maybe I have weak self-control but it takes more then 8 hours to get 7 hours of work done from home at least.
in this case everyone is hired as a consultant/contract worker.

Is it typical when being hired at a Start-up to not be a full-time employee but a monthly contracted worker?
yeah, even though godaddy does some weird stuff sometimes they do get it resolved quickly and without trouble.
I had the same problem, signed up last year, set it up a month later and now I'm getting time to renew emails. Also although its 'easy' to disable the auto-renew I've had products that still renewed after disabling the auto-renew.
Didn't you already post this like a million times already?
Anyhow, I like that it now loads new stories as you scroll down the page, much better. Nice and visual too, although one thing someone else said is that the news market is pretty saturated.
good luck.

Cool idea, although internet explorer / silver light isn't my cup of tea.

As a group of programmers build open-source products they are spending time on the process but not getting paid, they then create a product, something like Joomla, which then is used by other developers. But as a whole, Joomla makes some jobs easier, but also kills jobs (or hours of work) as it takes less people and work to get a site built.I know it makes some jobs easier, but more importantly...

Is there a product that exists to helps people exchange ideas, ie people sell or buy ideas?
these new bills will be quite similar to the bills in Hong Kong.
I went to college, but was able to get 89% average with about 20 hours a week of homework/studying etc. The girl who beat me, as far as average goes got 99% but spent 60 hours a week on homework/studying.
I was able to tutor 10 students and build two serious web apps in that extra 40 hours a week, who do you think came out on top?

The internet was suppose to be this place that made the world a better place, now it just seems to be the place where all the crap goes. It didn't start this way, in the beginning the net was great, we used to use it learn and share information with people around the world. Now its a place of extreme vanity and narcism.
