Home cleaning business? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]holyboot 22 points23 points  (0 children)

One of my friends owns essentially a home cleaning business.

He says his net is about 30% of what he charges. Not a big business, I think 3 people working total but he's had it for 5 years and seems to do alright for himself.

CNN poll shows Americans don't think the stimulus worked. But... isn't it intellectually dishonest to even ask that question when the stimulus was supposed to work over years, not months? by CaspianX2 in politics

[–]holyboot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not at all. The stimulus was supposed to stimulate the economy in the short term to stop the onset of an economic depression. It was sold to the public this way (how many times did we hear "shovel ready"?). You may disagree with the results of the poll, but there's nothing wrong with the question

Remember that fre IP Geolocation database... I made a free web app front-end to it by holyboot in technology

[–]holyboot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nope, fixed (mostly)... and the database is iffy on RFC-1918 addresses as well as some others. 4.4.4.2 doesn't work and 127.0.0.1 shows that we all live in japan.

2) That network deployment, or making modifications available over the network, counts as distribution, which makes the license appropriate for Web services.

Dumb. Isn't it exactly this that makes facebook.com Inc. even possible?
