You guys gotta know that even though Yahoo is kind of an old player here in Europe/US, Yahoo Japan is by far the most visited site in Japan and the most widely used search engine with a market of around 70%. Nonetheless Yahoo (the actual one) only owns around 35% of the shares so that Softbank with the rest of them actually runs it. The guys are doing it pretty nicely with yahoo mail, the site and flickr, it is a shame that their time has gone by.

Cool man, I'll apply!

Boy I can't believe you were going to pay 500 bucks for a .com domain with your name. The guy who's owning mine is asking for not less than $6K so I just went for the '.me' which is at least as nice looking as '.com' and adds a cool factor to your emails/business cards. Everyone seems not to believe that your email can be me@yourname.me but I'd say that it looks catchy aint it?

Lol, funny fact is that I have been collaborating with dpkg team in Debian and they created an identical function in C to report ANY error condition. I've read a lot of //D'OH and //ROFLMAO comments in rhythmbox source code so I guess this is pretty common over open source devs within the Linux community!

I'd say that teamwork and cooperation within programmers is like a sudoku, programming is more like writing not the sudoku but whatever comes out of that fucked up mind of any of you HN readers!

If you feel like you will be happier in the future this way, then go for consulting. It's not a pipe dream but competition is fierce in that sector, just do your best and see what happens.

Looks cool but what is impeding 'bad' engineers to register and show up in your web?

Good luck :)
