An argument has been raging for decades within the scientific and typographic communities on what seems a very insignificant issue: Do serifs contribute to the legibility of typefaces, and by definition, are sans serif typefaces less legible? To date, no one has managed to provide a conclusive answer to this issue. Bernard, M.,

Attending events around London, or talking with some of the development agencies present at the events, one might hear a startling set of opinions. Ruby on Rails doesnt scale? ColdFusion, one of the few languages to have an "is this language dead?" One can, however, make these arguments about different frameworks.

The number one reason I keep coming back to PHP is that it has overwhelming community support. There was only one real disadvantage: when the script source code changed, you needed to restart apache so that it could reload. PHP shines on one of the most important criteria for platform selection: readability.

This is true of most web application servers, caches like memcached, and all of the network infrastructure that connects them. If you are storing all of your data in a relational database, and the load on that database exceeds its capacity, there is no automatic solution that allows you to simply add more hardware and scale up.

In the upcoming posts Ill go into much more detail about each one. Similarly you’ll need at least one fulltime founder during the development phase to handle the developers and manage any other business development issues which arise during set-up. I hope the next one is ready soon! Again, this is not strictly true.

This is especially true if you live outside the echo chamber of Silicon Valley. Or, if youd prefer to do it by video, you can upload to YouTube - just use the "startup visa" tag. If youre willing to publicly sign on to a letter of support, please get in touch. I hope youll choose one of the steps above to help out.

The timing is perfect, there is more than a little overlap with Vivek Wadhwa’s guest post on venture capital earlier today. I was one of those kids who just couldn’t stop trying to start a company. There was just something in the environment that made it the right time for folks to think that one up. Sorry, folks.

Today, I was comparing notes with Ed Baker (one of the gurus of viral growth). From a strictly "promotional marketing" point of view, they probably run those campaigns more than is optimal (theres always fatigue that diminishes the ROI on promotions the more you use them). This is true, to a greater or lesser extent, for every product.

Whether your number is $1000/month, $1500/month, or $5000/month has zero bearing on that point…what matters is that building a product is a lot more difficult than most people make it out to be. Remember that line item on your paycheck that said something about retirement matching? This one’s your call.

Volatility of revenue The subscription model is probably one of the most stable business models and very few Facebook applications are based on it, simply because of the nature of the applications.

Then we started calling our companies sort of arty one-word names like Oracle and Apple. You can sign up for email updates, subscribe via RSS or follow me on Twitter. The problem, as you point out, is that that only holds true if you can figure out how to spell it in the first place. Oh I feel your pain on that one.
