I'm not sure what you are saying here - are you saying that if intelligent non-coders learn coding they will produce better internet applications? Is the implication of that statement that coders like myself are uncreative?

Menloparkbum gets my vote here - Paul also.

I'm not trying to be harsh, but really, just what segment of the technology community are you referring to when you say "geeks"? Coders? I only ask because this is a news message board on YC, so its kind of the pot calling the kettle black. To most people everyone on this board would be a geek. I say embrace your fellow programmer and don't discriminate against him how ever much he may remind you of Wayne Knight in Jurassic Park.

A decent article on pricing, but I wish the article was contextualized in a larger discussion of revenue models that included applications that provide free services - its too much a part of thew new wave of web apps to ignore.

I don't think rainbow tables would work for public key crypto - cracking md5 with a lookup table is nothing like cracking RSA - they are completely different algorithms....

How quick would this do SHA-1?

This is a well written document. Sometimes motivational pieces for business people seem to state the obvious, but this article chooses to focus in the connection between leadership skills and general productivity outside of pure leadership roles, making it inspirational for anyone.
