    How do all of you invest your money?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    To each their own. So because someone is the best at bullshitting or begging they deserve to be paid? That's the least accurate statement I've seen in a long time. You sound more like a union employee than an entrepreneur. Thank you for explaining speculation and hedging to me. I was...

    Test Frameworks for Proprietary Software

    I'm interested in this as well. I've been designing my framework around the concept of selling it as a pre boxed network for the buyer, hoping that it will add to the value.

    Test Frameworks for Proprietary Software

    Unit testing doesn't have design implications, designing code to get 90%+ code coverage in unit testing can. And ya I didn't really write much. I'll be writing a much longer, more technical version with code examples soon. I'm not a fan of abusing DI for mocks and fakes and exposing code that...

    Test Frameworks for Proprietary Software

    Oh wow haha, what was your language of choice back then? I'm sure you've talked about the project in more detail somewhere online before, do you have any links? Someday I would love to buy you a beer or seven to pick your brain and chat!

    Test Frameworks for Proprietary Software

    That's the thing that it really comes down to for me. Since I already know what my plan and strategy was going to be before I sat down at the table, I designed the system to be as extensible and readable as possible. Although my SDK's hit 9 different frameworks, each one of them is completely...

    How do all of you invest your money?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    There was another thread recently where I talked about being a full time day trader. I chose to take that cash and invest in myself and ideas, because the potential is so much higher. When you really get into stocks, you realize it's not actual investing at all, it's pure speculation. It's...

    Test Frameworks for Proprietary Software

    I'm never sure if I should post these in the Software or Development forum... On my project I am currently going through and building out a full unit and integration test framework for my code. I opted not to go a single compiled C route for security reasons, so I am working with several...

    New Invention ideas

    IDEA 
    Watch the Shark Tank and Dragon's Den. It's amazing how much you can learn about product patents, what sells and what doesn't. There was a guy recently that came on and had 80+ patents for products after 7 years... with NO sales. Without going out and licensing your patent, pitching it to a...

    Damn, these guys sound miserable..........

    The vast majority of entrepreneurs fail because of their arrogance that they know "the secret" to starting a successful business. I've met few older people with a history of entrepreneurial ventures who weren't successful but had the right mentality. If they had the right mentality, eventually...

    Damn, these guys sound miserable..........

    As Mr. Wonderful would say... there's nothing proprietary about the businesses they pursue. Sounds like the situation you're describing is people that had money that own, but do not operate, non-proprietary businesses as a form of a passive income stream. While that is extremely common...

    Google Apps no longer has a free option

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Wow, glad I just signed up! The free entry is what opened me up to the idea of cloud hosting with Drive and how useful it can be to coordinate between team members. I'll probably upgrade to the Pro version soon, but I'm not sure I ever would have entered the market without the free option...

    I'm so freaking sick of the whiners . . .

    Lol great post! I completely agree. Having known several local shops and heard these same complaints... ask them where they do their shopping. The biggest irony in that the whole world is wrong and they should pay higher prices for less convenience at their store because they're small and...

    My lucrative stock market investment with little capital

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Thanks for the speed! :D If it's $2k you can afford to play around with go for it. :) I'd go right into currencies though. A good Forex broker in the US is MB Trading who I traded through for a bit. A $1k account is plenty to start in trading Forex on margin for pips ($.0001 moves). It's...

    My lucrative stock market investment with little capital

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Just because you can't tell the future doesn't mean you can't predict it with odds in your favor. Also, new traders can escape this by going directly into currency trading for pips! As long as they don't sign up at a bucket shop like forex.com. Ya it's not investing AT ALL haha. Neither is...

    Taking a crack at this - Why some of us feel elite

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Oh, the idealist view that we can all live side by side without affecting one another. The reality is that wealthy entrepreneurs are asked more of than slowlaners. They are taxed higher, required to offer health care benefits to employees, required in some country's to pay for the health care...

    My lucrative stock market investment with little capital

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Unless you're really getting in on an IPO... you're not an investor. You're a glorified baseball card trader. Warren Buffet is an investor, the sharks on Shark Tank are investors. Your dad's stock account through e-trade is not investing haha.
