Is there any place on the net where I can host my software for free, so that i can distribute it to my friends. Memory required is as low as few MBs

There are a lot of file hosting sites on web. Rapidshare is one I can remember. Not sure if that is free though. If the file size is small enough, why not just mail it to friends?

Some of those files are executables and hence it is not possible to send thru emails.

Of course it is, just fool the exe detector.
Put it in a 7zip file, mostly that goes undetected.
If that doesn't work, put it in a 7zip file And change the extension of the exe to something else (say, .exe_removethis) And change the extension of the 7zip file to .txt or so.
If that still doesn't work, which is unlikely, there are still a million things you can do to make the exe look like not-an-exe.
edit: oh and turn on encryption, that way if the detector works with file signatures it will still be fooled.

Use www.lushbackup.com it gives you a 'usb drive on the net', or you can share read only to friends through the web. But I use the FTP drive feature it has, makes it simple

There is always something like Dropbox[^].
If it seems like the sort of thing you want, take the trouble to do a little googling for something like dropbox encryption where you will find several 'interesting' articles/blogs on the subject.
I use it and am not bothered about the supposed problems as I use it for things that don't matter such as sharing stuff with friends (Code/Images etc.).

I would recommend hosting your own webservice. I have a $50 Pentium III coppermine w/ 128mb of ram running ubuntu server on mobile broadband. Sure its not fast, but its cheap and easy

Like-minded...get a static IP and setup a web server/ftp server. Configure your router to forward the incoming requests to the server. Anybody remember PWS?

Or use skip the static IP and use DDNS. There's free DDNS services out there too.
Some routers support it directly, so you just need to poke a hole through the DNAT and enable the features.

I have been "blessed" with the fact that I can say that I've only had 2 bad bosses. First one was actually only annoying, but the second one was the whole enchilada.
He was bipolar, treated people like slaves (he is french, we are from a third world country so he thought less of us), liar, cheater, hypocrite, never lived to his promises, micro manager, annoying and the list goes on and on.
What else can you ask for?
What about you?

The worst boss I ever had wanted me to do engineering things that violated the laws of physics. I declined, so he put on my performance evaluation that I wasn't a team player. Then he dinged me for writing software to help me do my job - claimed I wasted company resources, even though I did it on my time, on my computer, with my compiler, at home during nights and weekends. Then he changed my forecasts and tried to blame me for making bad forecasts, except I had the originals and had put them in the company's correspondence files, stamped with official received dates. That was fun.
He finally "graduated" up to head office and was instrumental, I'm sure, in making sure I got laid off. So I got 48 weeks of severance pay, the rights to all the software I wrote, and I would have resigned within a month or two anyway, even without the severance pay. Then they called me back and paid consulting fees for me to finish up the last project I had worked on, so he jump-started my consulting business. And then I sold lots of copies of the software back to the company.
It was living h*ll at the time, but it all worked out. The best thing he ever did was make me open my eyes and notice that there were lots of other ways to make a living without having to put up with the likes of him.

we may have worked for the same person, but then again there are probably a fewof them out there.

Ditto.

For me it was great having this bad boss. I've learned a lot, but just because "good judgement comes from bad experiences". I had a horrible experience, but that has helped me a lot now in life not to make the same mistakes.
It's all part of growing up.

Well, I can say that my current boss, who was a technical manager, was the worst. He had me attended management meetings because he had no idea of what the change requests were, even though he had a chance to familiarize himself with those. I attended a couple of them and got myself to answer questions that were supposed to be answered by him, coordinated with the other managers instead of him doing it, and doing other stuff that was, I think, supposed to be done by a manager like him. I consider the fact that he was new, but I cannot accept that he is trying to let me do all of his tasks. Besides, that was not a part of my job description as a developer.

A far better question would be: who is the best boss that you've had and why? I bet almost no answers to that one since they're all pretty bad: most people become managers for the wrong reasons and then fail becuase they receive either the wrong training or none at all and are socially incapabale of managing other people. Just becuae, for instance, someone is a great developer does not mean that they will be a great manager.
