Sorry, looks like I worded it wrong. 'That means he potentially thinks you are worth millions' should have been 'That means he thinks you are potentially worth millions'. Yes, he breaks even at $400k, but to balance out the risk that you go for nothing at all, he is betting that you will go for much more than 400k.
It's most likely here because scientology nutjobs have sent Slashdot a cease and desist in the past, and made them pull down posts with copyrighted material (I'm fine with that) and links to copyrighted material (I'm not fine with that).
Paul Graham is the same guy who said he could calculate whether the patent system was a net win if given a couple weeks. This is something I've read more than one Ph.D. thesis on, but sure, a couple weeks sounds completely reasonable, Paul.
Considering all the risks he takes on you, that means he potentially thinks you are worth millions. Not a terrible valuation for a bunch of kids just out of college.
Someone sent me a link with directions to their house, and it was a google maps link!@!!! I was locked-in because I couldn't extract the street address from the URL. Google is EVIL! The URL didn't comply with any standards.
Just to a add a bit on email--if you use gmail for your domain there is absolutely no lock-in at all. You just point the DNS mail records over to whichever other provider you want, or to your own machine.
"That said, python is slower than perl for many things. I've written internal webpages in python but I've not seen many comercial websites done in Python. There is probably a reason for that."
Wacom has the patent on battery-less digitizers. What makes you think they would license it to Apple in a way that would undercut the insanely expensive Cintiq?
MySpace was bought for around a billion and signed a billion dollar advertising deal with Google within months of selling. I'd say NewsCorp did alright.
There is freeware software that is freely redistributable, but closed source. There is even closed source software where the original author lost his source code, but has released the binaries into the public domain. It's still closed source. You can't take one closed source app and say "I can't do such and such with it, therefore closed source means I can't do such and such".
It is funny you mentioned Scott Adams and politics in relation to an article about about Bill Gates--as I recall, Scott Adams was recently seriously advocating for a Bill Gates presidential campaign.

Yes, to compete with Google's Double Click innovation.
And yet you aren't uncomfortable with the term "Jackoffee". Wow.
Take it to philosophy 101, kid.
It was a verbatim post of great length with no commentary.
We've known how to do this for a long time, no one has the balls. All we have to do is gas all the butterflies.

If you've written several thousand lines of code in a day, it is safe to say you have seriously neglected something.

What was the name of it? Link?

World of Warcraft is one of the most profitable games ever created. If they had taken your advice, would it have been?
Are you even a potential customer for the game then? It itself is in a proprietary format, and contains proprietary formatted videos.

If you have to handle different files for different machines, I'd reccommend Oracle's opensource cvsman

From TFS, Originally envisioned as a way to let mobile users to retain a single IP for their devices...
It's the rare-earth magnet in the harddrive. The easiest solution would be to get a nano.

Nope, all that would be radiated as blackbody radiation; it would be at a lower wavelength than the light from the star and spread over a larger area.
What? If we got rid of copyright laws, people could still put the code into closed source products.
