18,500 | comment | yaacovtp | 2007-05-01T21:54:34 | null | Can anyone tell me what bandwidth costs a month once you need over a terabyte a month?

18,501 | comment | dpapathanasiou | 2007-05-01T21:54:41 | null | The other big downside is that you can't just go in and kill an errant process if your alpha version does something weird.<p>And you're also in the dark about what those <i>other</i> processes (those not owned by you) might be doing at any given time.<p>Controlling the entire server as root is just better. | null | null | 18,498 | 18,363 | null | [

18,506 | comment | bootload | 2007-05-01T22:09:37 | null | noticed it this morning from twitter, chris massina (<a href="http://twitter.com/factoryjoe).">http://twitter.com/factoryjoe).</a> In effect the site filters directed twitter messages to two (N possible) categories. In this case "stuck" and "unstuck". So you get 2 lists of messages by persons on what they are currently stuck (stuck) on and not stuck on (unstuck).<p>HOW:
Uses twitter to send information to a third party site. Categorises the message you send to twitter to stuckunstuck by using 2 further twitter accounts (stuck & unstuck accounts ~ <a href="http://twitter.com/stuck">http://twitter.com/stuck</a> & <a href="http://twitter.com/unstuck)">http://twitter.com/unstuck)</a> and directs messages sent to these accounts to the SUS site.

I simply use a text file instead. But they are good for reminders.<p>so if you can use both TODO + reminder, that will be great.<p>And please, contradicting PG and all the gurus on this board, DO NOT store my data on your server!!

18,522 | comment | SwellJoe | 2007-05-01T23:54:56 | null | I did the same, after two months of repeated failed attempts to hire someone to design a logo (one of the logo companies we hired sent us about a dozen horrible ideas plus the Verizon V-Cast logo, as though we wouldn't notice). I've since made two logos that I'm reasonably happy with, both using Inkscape. I'm not a designer, by any stretch, but the T-shirts we had printed up with this one look great:<p><a href="http://www.virtualmin.com/images/logo-185x38-background.png">http://www.virtualmin.com/images/logo-185x38-background.png</a><p>And I made a logo for our example website (our product manages webservers and websites, so in our demo video we build a website from scratch and launch a useful application in a couple of minutes): <a href="http://doxfer.com/twiki/pub/Main/WebPreferences/logo.png">http://doxfer.com/twiki/pub/Main/WebPreferences/logo.png</a><p>This one was whipped up in literally five minutes (once you know how to make the Web 2.0 "shiny" text thing, it's numbingly simple to do).<p>Neither are going to win awards, but they've allowed me to get on with work, and I'm not ashamed of them. When we take funding, or when we're making more money, I'll hire someone famously good to re-imagine our logo. Until then, I've been burned enough by bad anonymous logo shops.<p>One thing to keep in mind, that most non-designers (and even some designers) do wrong: Keep it simple. Imagine it in black and white. Imagine it on a T-shirt (and imagine paying for all of the colors you put in it--twice the colors is twice the price for printing), coffee mug, letterhead, and your website. Look at successful companies for inspiration, not just Web 2.0 companies (even if you're building a Web 2.0 app). You'll almost never go wrong by simplifying a logo design, but you'll certainly go wrong by putting too much crap in it. Also, pick your colors using a color scheme generator--not at random. Unless you've got the queer eye, you'll pick ugly colors. I guarantee it. | null | null | 18,334 | 18,308 | null | null | null | null |

18,534 | comment | whacked_new | 2007-05-02T00:43:14 | null | I thought about the "more" part a little, just a little; there are some important problems to think through before carrying this further. First of all, it only provides a substitute functionality; if news.yc gets PM then this is totally unnecessary. For more features, there are more ambitious projects like medium (I'm not sure if they're in the same category).<p>Second, being an unofficial product degrades credibility by a lot; there's no reason why a user would expect to find messages for them on an external server. I imagine this as a disposable tool, like mailinator, in case some people want to trade emails or other non-public data without having to write here or disclose anything personal. Post and delete. For this specific purpose I do think its useful, but how much further beyond the audience especially concerned about privacy, I don't know.<p>Third, loading an external page in a frame can confuse and annoy users, so I think it's not a good practice. news.yc users might tolerate this kind of hack because they know what's behind it, but I can't say for sure.<p>Of course, if you have other thoughts/suggestions, do let me know, publicly or privately :) | null | null | 18,462 | 18,437 | null | null | null | null |

18,549 | comment | scaz | 2007-05-02T01:55:01 | null | SoftLayer is indeed very good. The virtual LAN is awesome - you can even setup a PPTP VPN connection and access your virtual LAN from it. <p>VPN in your gateway box at home and it is almost like having the servers in the other room. They don't charge you anything for data that goes over the VPN, so you can upload/download from your server without using your bandwidth quota - it is a great for pulling off site backups.

I would expect them to be the same as the Java applet security limitations. Or no limitations at all since this is Microsoft we're talking about :P | null | null | 18,552 | 18,531 | null | [

18,556 | comment | dawie | 2007-05-02T02:26:47 | null | I think a vertical for child-rearing parents is a great idea. These days verticals rule. There is alot of reading to do on your site. This might be good for people that are not used to technology, but I still believe that your site should be intuitive, so that you don't need lots of text to explain things to people. I mean even my grandma knows what publishing is... | null | null | 18,546 | 18,545 | null | null | null | null |
18,557 | comment | scaz | 2007-05-02T02:31:08 | null | I have to advise against these guys. Hate to do it, because the support is good, they seem like nice guys, and they are reselling SoftLayer servers, so the network is amazing. <p>But I've had VPS's on three different physical servers with them and they were all starved for disk IO. They take quad core servers with 16-32GB of RAM but only put two 7200 RPM IDE drives in them. A 7200 RPM IDE drive is good for about 120 I/Os per second, so if the server has 20 users you get a whopping 6 I/Os per second.<p>Check it out:<p>$ time ls -l /etc /dev/null<p>real 0m12.530s
user 0m0.004s
sys 0m0.046s<p>12.5 seconds to list a directory with ~150 files. This is from a VPS account I have with them with nothing running on it.<p>To be fair, most VPS hosting probably sucks just as bad. | null | null | 18,529 | 18,363 | null | [

18,559 | comment | mynameishere | 2007-05-02T02:36:42 | null | Ease of deployment/integration is the crucial issue, of course. The Javascript+DOM+xmlhtmlrequest model is just so horrendously, hackishly chicken-wired I'm always ashamed to even touch it...much less use it professionally. Flash and java applets from day ONE were superior in every, single way...utterly superior...except when it comes to deployment/integration. Java applets have the habit of seizing up the machine and mysteriously failing to load...flash is a bit better, but is gradually turning into this decade's popup launcher. Neither work well with webpages. Their failure to really become platforms just shows that an extra second or two of wait time can be a competitive killer.<p>But, if MSFT can do this right, goodbye javascript.

18,562 | comment | yaacovtp | 2007-05-02T02:57:25 | null | I just opened up my first photo account with flickr and it was amazingly easy to upload several hundred photos from a trip to the botanical gardens and then email the series to friends. It's so simple even my grandmother can use it.<p>I'd advise you to work on your copywriting. With all the free photo hosting sites out there already I don't think people care about average number of photos times x number of cents to host per year. They just want to know how easy it is and that it's free or that they are getting an incredible deal by paying a subscription fee.<p>If you're targeting people who are new to the web, talking about zip archives will likely scare them away. Keep it simple. | null | null | 18,545 | 18,545 | null | [

18,566 | comment | falsestprophet | 2007-05-02T03:01:36 | null | I'm pretty curious about what the rest of iminlikewithyou.com looks like. So, hopefully my contribution is useful:<p>I think I got all the way through the demo, in any case it is very frustrating. I think that the whole interface is insufficiently intuitive. Considering the fact that your target demographic is (often) non-technical families, I would reorganize the methods of interaction. <p>There should be a simple pathway for every task that hides irrelevant actions on each step. For instance, once someone uploads a set of photos the option to upload more should be hidden until the user complete modifying the photos or returns to a 'home' page.<p>You are facing some very serious competition. There is a lot of work to be done before you launch.<p>Frankly, if you need a tutorial for an application like this, your interface isn't good enough. | null | null | 18,546 | 18,545 | null | null | null | null |

18,571 | comment | omouse | 2007-05-02T03:06:04 | null | Site feedback? First, make the text larger. Especially the demo/tutorial and change it to say, "Test drive!" or "Try it out!" or something attention grabbing like that. You could put the "What makes it great" text on the front-page. Much more helpful to users if they know what the site's about.<p>In the demo, the text should be larger.<p>I'm also not sure what to do with photos. Can you link them to entries?<p>You need to make a link that says "Home". I don't know which is the main page that I'm supposed to be looking at...edit: Maybe make a main page that is just those links you have in the bar above with a short summary of what you do on that page.<p>This is a neat idea though and it is quick and simple. | null | null | 18,546 | 18,545 | null | null | null | null |

18,585 | comment | mxh | 2007-05-02T03:57:48 | null | Question: Is silverlight really part of "the web"? For that matter, is Flash? (Were applets?) It seems to me that "the web" consists of things built around W3C standards, to a first approximation.<p>Just because something plugs into a browser doesn't make it part of "the web"; that's just a sneaky way to put a thick client on the user's computer.<p>I'd argue that Silverlight _might_ be the future, but it's not the web.
