Bigtimebids.com is available.

Google-owned sites generated $3.81B while partner sites generated $1.69B.

I think the act of comparing the amount Google makes from AdWords to AdSense is moot -- Both of these channels are very successful. Both of these numbers end with a capital "B".

So question: Do I become an ad broker and take on Google or simply utilize Google to display ads on my property and make some coin?

At this point, I don't care how much Google is making off of me as a percentage, but I do care how much money I actually do put in my own pocket.

"take some simple steps to ensure that you don't bork your site"

unborked[.com] is currently available.

A site dedicated to stopping all of the borking going on out there.

I think some cheap, simple sql dumps from the db, burned to an external HD and taken home would've been a good first step -- your data would be dated but somehow restorable nonetheless without the need for off-site, replicated, heart-beat monitored databases.

IMHO you really need an expert database admin (of which I am not) to get all of this up and keep all of it going; a caretaker who's only job in life is the maintenance of any and all persisted data.

On another note, backups are really useless unless you have actually tested the restores.

Can I get that with a ".com" please?

@OP, how about "Get a great .com, .net, .whatever right now!"

I can't help but think that the suit isn't far behind.

Cool.

Looks like the cookie the only thing from keeping people from voting more than once.

To everyone here:

How else could you keep people from vote bombing low friction (no required login) sites like this one?

Does it even matter in this case?

Why the hell are people voting NO?

Pre-sealed pocket of wipes; good idea!

The wipes would be warmed by the baby's body heat as well; babies don't like a cold wipe on their tushies.

Love that logo. Good luck!

I agree. It seems like you never get enough oomph from an engrossing session of WoW - never really satisified, always feeling empty after the latest chapter/quest.

It's kind of like reading a Robert Kiyosaki book - getting to the end and needing to buy the next book right away. The content makes you feel good but it always leaves you feeling a bit undernourished, hoping the next fix will finally complete you - leaving you whole.

The preceding was a bit of self-reflection, perhaps. :)

Don't worry - I'll quit WoW as soon as I can get my paws on Starcraft II.

Guns end wars quicker.

There's a certain beauty to getting to the wrong answer quicker - I just don't see it in this case.

You're in Dallas, too?

Sounds like you're a salesman. :)

I'm gonna use that!

"I help $these_kind_of_people kick more ass!"

this thread came up as one of the top results. I guess Google _really_ likes YC News.

Just wait a few hours; whenever this submission falls off the front page, Google should drop it quicker than a greased pig down a mud slide.

I think some of us are simply scanning through the new section, tagging things we'd like to read at a later time. :)

Nice.

I guess so many checks in a big company could be considered the biggest mistake of all?

I thought the same thing. Here's my translation (don't hate me):

Let us make an end also to the wasters of disk space who clutter up our machines and profane our lightning-fast memories!

Translation: Down with Windows!

An end to the quick-money architecture of the jobbers of the prefabricated!

Translation: Down with uhh ... uhhh ???

An End to the common run of program decorators, the fakers of technology, the masters of software cosmetology who sell themselves, and the slovenly and thick headed "managers"!

Translation: Down with consultants!

Can you elaborate?

You're gonna share this wiki with the rest of us when it's up and running, right? ;)

This site is not available in wap fomat.

Thank you, Infoworld.

It's possible that some of us are looking through the headlines, and saving them for reading at a later time.

The fact that the story gets voted up is a consequence of this, perhaps.

Becoming CEO [ as well as founder of your very own company ] has a Dip, it is committing yourself to exceptional performance [ and definitely not quitting and to keep trying ] over the long haul.

There. That sounds better.

Everything worth doing has a Dip.  If you quit in the Dip, then you give up all the rewards on the other side.

Summary: Never quit your passions.

Ask not why it boots in 2 seconds, ask what the heck other operating systems are doing.
