I've been looking for such a course/material since I've started learning CS. This loks like a great way of introducing my friends to CS and explaining what the Computer Science is all about.
From NAND gates -> to games in one course? YES!
StickyFrames are magnetic sheet protectors for whatever paper message or text you want to insert there. You can create messages easily by using custom web to print interface that is almost ready, then print them using your own printer. SF will come in 3 different sizes:
"bumper sticker" size, letter size, and legal size. FOr the back or side of your car...
"Student Driver", "Vote For X", "Car For Sale", etc, etc
adlep pulls out his trusty anit-religion spray
Sprays generously in all directions, hoping to contain the odor that is trying to invade this race and religion free discussion board...
Seriously, dude what the heck would you submit this here?
Do you know what hacker news is all about?
Can you read?
I'd say a standard well written NDA that specifies the role of Mr. Zuckenberg would be sufficient to take over a significantly greater role in FB.
So, a standard NDA - very simple yet very effective in making sure your disclosure enjoys a good level of protection.
Getting in is really a step number 1. Your real goal should be making your "core" idea for the business a success. Being a single, non technical founder in an environment that is very, very technical will present you with a massive challenge ahead...
So, good luck...
What about some visual demo - maybe a YT movie or few pictures on the web site. The idea sounds fantastic, but will it actually work well in practice?
Good Luck.
Super answer. Thank you so much for helping us out with this. I am getting ready to start my learning journey and I've asked so that I won't invest my time into picking up a wrong technology for the job - so again - thanks for the advice.
And don't worry. This is not a homework problem. Rather, it is my side project called StickyFrames.

We have the physical prototypes ready, but we need a well functioning web service to make this product a success.
The biggest problem in doing business in D. is an ever-present Mr. 15% mentality. You won't be able to do much without either:
1. Having friends with connections in the "government" of Detroit or
2. Paying off so that they will get off your back.
I live in Ferndale, but I have an idea that is very suitable for Detroi - but I won't pursue it until there are some more changes happening in the city council.
This actually was a really, really good interview. Lady GaGa is very well spoken. She is comfortable talking about herself and explaining her music without snubbing at anyone. Thx Google, Marissa, and Lady GaGa.
Trying to start a controversy where there isn't one.
Money $$$$ talks and it sees no color. The IT people tend to be rational. They are swayed by a good, well explained idea that has potential - rather than anything else like a race or gender.
So do not expect to be discriminated in the IT world, but at the same time do not expect that the color of your skin, or gender, or anything else gets you an advantage.
Please, stop blowing smoke. I personally do not care how many founders are black, white, green, German, Polish, Russian, or Jewish. This does not concern me. I judge your idea and it's usefulness to my situation and not anything else.
You may be our GodSend...
Have a look at this.

Let me know if interested. Coding is not my specialty, but I can learn everything in IT. However, I will need a tech lead/overlord to tell me/us what to do.
This has been an engineering holly grail for quite a while. If validated, the patents for such magnets should make a nice financial windfall for this company. Great news if validated.
Well, my conclusion was totally different - right after the first explosion.
Edit: I think you should really stop arguing this by now :)
Unfortunately, I can not give you a credit for that problem - there is no partial credit, the answer is wrong so it is an "F".
Someone good will always be in high demand. Edit: How about going to campuses around Chicago and posting an add for a co founder? There may be a Zukenburg type of a kid out there waiting for his potential to be discovered? Also, they may be willing to devote a lot of time to the project. Just have them sign an NDA...:P
I could never accept such an offer. I hope that Vladimir will gets at least a minimum U.S. hourly rate for his efforts. Edit: A minimum US hourly wage is a very decent pay in Russia.
Good luck. I am in the same situation.
I had a promising lead coming out of my submission (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2320490), but it did not work out due to conflict of schedules. I hope that you will be able to find someone. Best of luck.
Well, it is all in the original title. The author's conclusion of "Why I am not worried" was based on the facts listed in his article. However, given the gravity of the current situation at the power plant we can assume that even though the facts listed in the article were all correct the author has misinterpreted them and reached a conclusion that that is wrong.
Edit: Think of it as a physic text homework problem. You have various facts listed throughout the problem, but your job is to use a correct formulas applied in the right sequences in order to derive a correct answer (aka interpret data "facts"). Simply re-stating the facts won't give you credit for the problem - the correct answer will (aka "conclusion").
This is a nice article, however:

Make sure to lock and patch your email server. Also, do not give your root passwords to anyone, including a tech support person. Lock domain access to all of your sites. Analise your contact forms for vulnerabilities. But, I am sure you've already done all of that....right?
