Sorry, but not everyone is living in the US here, and you can try it ... you can't lose.

On paper with a pen :)

So no one who wouldn't relocate can join to you :) as you will apply again.

I'm sure, it's frustrating if you don't know real reason why they rejected you so I wish you good luck, As we say, "what don't kill you that gives you more power".

I agree juwo (however, better language skills would be fine) but this is about YC ...

It's quoted from Ivanhoe isn't it? :)

Thanks Matt.

If Microsoft would ... there will be many more who would maybe google or yahoo :) So I would not and not because of PG article.

there is no need to read Guy's article to give it a point here ... specially if you are half Scotsman :)

Very often, it's like masochist, the problem is, I'm not submissive :)

I'm not local, however my name can indicate that (even I taught russian language 10 years 'cos we were a part of communist block), only thinking about it. everyone goes to the west, but Russia is virgin land in on-line business, there are 140milion potential customers not counting satellite states, like Ukraine where people speak russian. that's my opinion :) Stability is not important, you can run on .com domain, or buy domain at the same company as google for $20 and host anywhere in stable country in case, we are talking about on-line business.

Right approach, utf-8 and separated language files :)

Nice, I have my e-mail in my profile from beginning :) however I can't apply, my english is very poor and I can't relocate to the U.S., so good luck to everyone who apply!

Karma is the law of cause and effect. Every effect has a cause and every cause follows an effect, so karma is suggestible.

Many charming guys are here at YC too IMHO.

"Missed opportunity costs" said Sergey :)

Some people are lazy, exploit others good will and have luck, they sold their company and other people are agile and doesn't have luck. If you was lazy before, you stay lazy, and buy dream house, car or whatever ... if you are agile, you start a new company.

There is no VC in 37sig? I think it is.

PHP, if ROR would be more supported here, than ROR

I can't understand why you Mr. Graham must again explain you thoughts. If someone don't want to understand, he won't understand even after ten explanations.

They ONLY CAN own anything they know about :)

this is the result of making simple things (un)done in the most complicated way :)

Heh! Out of index with them.

Heh, maybe in previous lifes Matt.

So you are acting as a big company no matter you working alone?

Hi Sam, thanks for your comment and be sure this is on the way :)
