Trained in C, familiar with C++ and Java, spent the last 10 or so years mostly in scripting (perl, shell, etc) with a little php/ajax/js on the side. I've been running linux on just about all my systems for over 5 years, and at least partially using it since '95, mostly with Debian and now Ubuntu. Lately I'm getting back into a project using C, maybe Lua, front end with php/ajax/js, and who knows what else.

Outside of the techie stuff, I enjoy photography as a hobby and do a lot of home repair both on my own home and with the local Habitat chapter. For fun, I strap the bare necessities onto my back and enjoy a weekend of backpacking.

comment Question on patents and copycats
The button on the top right says "Ask Question", singular. You should be asking one question per post. The rest of the issues with this post appear to be translation problems that could be reworded, assuming they aren't duplicate questions.

comment Unemployed but with ideas burning a hole in my brain. Where to?
When you're no longer worrying about how you'll put food on the table, then you can dedicate yourself 100% to the startup. Until then, you'll have to settle for the method many have done before you, and work multiple jobs at once.

Keep your underwear on? I'm thinking this question could use less colorful phrasing.

comment Why so few “minority-owned” start-ups?
Minority-owned start-ups != minority-owned firms seeking angel capital. So is the question how do we convince minorities to borrow more money to start their business? Perhaps the question should be "how do we convince non-minority-owned firms that they don't need angel capital to start-up?"

comment How to get people to post on a new classifieds website
I'm not sure what you expect for suggestions here. If your site isn't better than those out there already, then it's worse because you're late to the party. In addition to craigslist, there are so many other copy cats doing this (lmgtfy.com/?q=used+college+book+store) not even counting word of mouth and school specific bulletin boards.

To put it another way, you just gave us the address to a plot of empty dirt and a "coming soon" sign and asked us how to convince people to visit your store.

You haven't said how your idea is better or different than existing web sites. A domain name built with a free design app isn't even an idea, it's a place holder.
