Yes, I can get to every other URL I tried that is inside the firewall, including other similar servers

I have checked all the configs - remember it work fine when I switch my ISP over to my cell phone from FiOS. I am not implying a conspiracy - just trying to get a solution

My vote for the MacBook Air 13'. Hands down. I installed Windows 8 on it (bootcamp) and have Ubuntu running in a VM.

I would recommend codeacademy.com. My 10 year old son is using the tutorials there to learn programming.

check out http://www.storediq.com/. They seem to be doing some interesting stuff with 'Big Data'

I posted my list in this recent blog post: http://dundat.com/blog/2011/11/30/a-wannabe-founder/

There has been a lot of flak around free (non-paid) internships lately. As a bootstrapper, I cannot afford to pay an intern. How should I handle getting an intern on-board?

If you offer the student credit and make sure you abide by the schools rules so that the student can receive credit than legally you can employ the intern without monetary compensation. This should get you on your way!

Alexis Ohanian talks about it. I remember seeing a video. Can't remember where.

Very interesting, all the comments this post has received. I posted this link on HN because I guessed that several readers here are entrepreneurs like myself, who would one day like to be amongst the 'rich' (or according to the articles author 'upper middle class') and would like to know how that segment of society lives. I had no intention of starting a discourse on class warfare ;)

On the other hand, personally I found this article to be extremely instructive on the relationship between 'net worth' and 'income'. As someone who has worked a job all my life, till date, I have always looked as my salary as my measure of how well I was doing financially. This article made me take an alternative perspective and look at 'net worth'. If and when I decide to stop working for money (side note - someone said Steve Jobs worked so he was middle class. He worked, yes, but I am sure it was not for money! He was Rich.) I would like to still have cash flow coming in from my investments and other passive sources. I believe that is what the author is getting to. If that amount at which I can stop working for money is $100,000 per year, I need to have $2 million in net worth; for an income of $1 million (whew!), I need to have $20 million, and so forth...

Excellent point! I guess those of us with the 'bug' or 'parasite' - whatever you want to call it - just march to the beat of a different drummer. We value freedom over security, charting our own path over following the beaten one...
