    Would it be possible to remove account and posts?

    This is why it's generally not a good idea to reveal personal information about yourself on an internet forum to the point where people who know you can identify you. Especially on a forum like this, considering that your boss or co-workers could find your posts and think that you're not...

    Don Lapre: DEAD.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    lmfao at the video! Even though I'm black, I found the part with the black guy hilarious. "Even I was able to make money on Don's program, and I'm a black guy!"

    Don Lapre: DEAD.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I've never heard of the man before reading this thread, but if he was defrauding people then he did deserve to go to prison. I feel sorry for his kids. After all, they're innocent in all of this, and they just lost a father.

    pics inside.... Registration Page- users exiting, will this help?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I disagree with using a tactic like this. Whenever I try to click out of a website, and they have a pop-up that tries to get me to stay, I make sure to never go back to that website. It's very annoying, and it definitely won't get me to re-think signing up or making a purchase on that site...

    Time to Billionaire status

    EXECUTION 
    In the age of the internet, it takes much less time to become a billionaire. Rockefeller had to do a lot more grunt work to get his business going, but when it did get going it really took off. In today's money he'd be worth over 200 billion dollars.

    Boob-slapping is a business in Bangkok now!

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Crazy! Especially when you consider that most guys would slap their breasts for free, and throw in squeezing and caressing for no extra charge.

    Gates vs Jobs as entrepreneurs

    Apple preceded Windows, and yet Windows became more widely used precisely because of Steve Jobs' bad business sense. He restricted hardware makers from installing Apple software on their devices because he wanted to sell the hardware himself with the software. However, this was the major...

    Gates vs Jobs as entrepreneurs

    You've got it backwards. Jobs is the visionary, not Gates.

    Gates vs Jobs as entrepreneurs

    To be fair, Apples rise coincides with Bill Gates retirement as CEO of Microsoft. He hasn't been running the show for about a decade now which is why Microsoft is stagnating in my opinion. Steve Jobs would still be drawing rabid fans to buy whatever product he wants them to buy but Gates'...

    Gates vs Jobs as entrepreneurs

    Gates experienced failure, but his failure was private, whereas Jobs' failure was public. Gates started another company before Microsoft which failed, and it took years for him to make Microsoft successful. People don't know about those two facts because once he did make it, he didn't have any...

    Netflix battles teenage pothead for @Qwikster Twitter account

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Well, they want the twitter account name for their business because it will allow them to promote products and keep their fans interested. So, whether or not he made the stupid comments, they'd still want it from him. But, the fact that he's making those idiotic comments makes them even more...

    Hold the thief!

    Why can't you do both? No one can deny that Steve Jobs and Bill Gates accomplished very significant things that have brought lots of benefit to billions of people around the world and they also became billionaires along the way. Also, having lots of money enables you to be very...

    They're actually much more expensive than 100tb. Look at their price for bandwidth. You can get 100 terabytes of data transfer with 100tb for around $200 whereas the same amount of bandwidth would cost you $7,168 with Amazon S3. Here's their chart: So, doing the math real quick: 100 TB...

    You're welcome. And to your point, that's the great thing about the internet these days. In the 90s it was easy to come up with ideas because the low hanging fruit hadn't been picked yet. So, services like Amazon and Yahoo were easy to conceive of but difficult to implement because servers...

    Bad ethics or good business?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Business is certainly cut throat. Trying to be the nice guy will sometimes put you at a disadvantage. I'm not saying that you should do anything illegal, but you should take advantage of any opportunity you have to get customers, even if that means stealing them from your competitors.

    Bad ethics or good business?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    If they have their customer contact info available to the public, then I don't see anything wrong with you contacting them to offer them a lower price on the same service. Speaking for myself, I would never use a service that made my contact info available to everyone, so that's something...

    One reason MJ is the man!!!

    Nope. If you got rid of minimum wage, people who are desperate and unemployed would underbid the rest of the qualified candidates by promising to work for the least amount of pay. Average wages for the lower class would go way down and there would be widespread poverty. And, if you can't...

    Unless the investor already knows you and trusts you, they won't invest just based on plans and prototypes. For unknown entrepreneurs, the best way for you to get funding is to show traction. Build it and once you either get lots of hits or lots of money, then investors won't feel so hesitant...
