bitsantos | 18 years ago | on: Ask YC: quitting job and starting a startup

I'm 23 and I just left my first job of two years to build a startup about three months ago. I'd like to believe that while you're young (if you are) and/or while you don't have to support anyone (e.g., a family), there's no reason why you shouldn't give it a try. If it doesn't pan out, you can always try again or just go back to having a regular job.

And I'll agree with some of the previous comments that all you really need to worry about is the money. Be sure that you can afford to not have any reliable income for a long while. Otherwise, if you think you have a good enough idea to pursue, just keep your morale up and you'll be fine.

bitsantos | 18 years ago | on: Ask News.YC: Is there anybody here who uses sIFR and is it at all practical?

I've had a few problems making it work like I want it to in IE when I have multiple replacements but otherwise it's fantastic. Although I can only get one replacement (all of my site's h2's) to work, my entire site just looked a whole lot better. I highly recommend it if you think you really need it. Just make sure you don't use it for substantial amounts of text.

And with 6 billion people in the world, that would mean that there are about 60,000 people who can be troubled to do it. :P

bitsantos | 18 years ago | on: Ask YC: Is the lack of comments on most submissions a sign of declining quality?

The problem I have is that with all of the great things to read about, I forget about going back to the comments and leave my thoughts about it. :-P
