In January, Denver will become one of the few American cities that allows its residents to purchase and recreationally consume marijuana, a move that is expected to create jobs and generate tax revenue.

Microsofts originalplan was to make money selling programming languages, of all things.Their current business model didnt occur to them until IBM droppedit in their lap five years later. Hackersshould do this even if they dont plan to start startups, because its the only real way to learn how to program. Thats nonsense.

It wasnt because they werent accredited investors that I didntask my parents for seed money, though. When we were starting Viaweb,I didnt know about the concept of an accredited investor, anddidnt stop to think about the value of investors connections.The reason I didnt take money from my parents was that I didntwant them to lose it.

bfliris So it sounds like with Meebo (your claim to fame) you were passionate about the idea but had no programming skill, partnered with two people that had strong programming ability and did very little to assist them in creating a succesful application. I have had a programming job and tried to do side projects after work/ weekends.
