I’ve censored the following, in protest of a bill that gives any corporation and the US government the power to censor the internet—a bill that could pass THIS WEEK. To see the uncensored text, and to stop internet censorship, visit: americancensorship.org/posts/9816/uncensor

that will dennis guy: Get Your Website Built for $150
Truth.
willdennis:
…oh and about 2.5 months of your own hard work. Why? Because paying someone to develop a website for you is a rip off and because finding a technical cofounder is a pain in the ass. Stop pitching your idea and start building.
I had zero technical skills prior and here’s how I went about learning Ruby on Rails and CSS.
Expenses
Expense 1. Purchase Text Mate for $58 (less if you are a student)
Expense 2. Purchase Michael Hartl’s Rails Screencast and PDF Bundle for $95
Resources
First, read this post by Nate Westenheimer about…

If Everyone Else is Such an Idiot, How Come You're Not Rich?
Great article on what seems to be increasingly prevalent: journalists on the Internet thinking their opinion is the gold standard on what is right and wrong in tech and business.
On Netflix:
I don’t want to pick on Ms. Martin, particularly, because I’ve read some version of this lament about Netflix about a thousand times. And indeed, I completely agree that the Qwikster disaster was nothing short of debacletacular.
But how do we get from “that was a bad idea” to “Reed Hastings doesn’t understand what business he’s in?” When internet commentators see odd behavior that they don’t understand, why do they assume that the most parsimonious explanation is that management must be a bunch of drooling morons?

Will You Live Forever—or Until Your Next Software Release—By Uploading Your Brain into a Computer?
Ray Kurzweil and other so-called transhumanists have promised that in coming decades we will be able to transfer a digital copy of the trillions of connections among nerve cells in our brains into a computer. We would essentially reincarnate ourselves as non-biological beings that persist for eternity inside a laptop, on the endless links of the Internet or as avatars inside a television set. After achieving the ultimate copy and paste, we would wave goodbye to death as we know it.

Steve Jobs’ Vision of the World
When you grow up you tend to get told the world is the way it is and you’re life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family, have fun, save a little money.
That’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.
Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.

magicJack Plus
VocalTec’s magicJack Plus is awesome. It’s the newest version of the original magicJack, only the magicJack Plus does not need a PC to operate because it plugs directly into your router. For one low price you essentially get unlimited phone service via VoIP. I highly recommend it.
