Exactly. This is more for technical writing, not sales copy. That being said, a sales copy equivalent would be nice.

All of the suggestions listed involve changing some mechanic of the site. Some of them are quite good though (I think voting based on karma is neat). My theory: Internet marketers descend on online communities that are popular. Possible sol

I really like that, but Roy Disney died after Disney World opened. You may be referring to his brother Walter Disney (the 'Walt' in Disney), who died prior to the parks completion.

Their music recommendation database has more songs and attributes. But theres no service that streams all the music they have indexed like Pandora does.

It's even easier now that PHP 5.3.3+ has FPM included (config option is --enable-fpm). Getting it set up with nginix is a breeze.

I'd like to see more articles relating to good coding practice using PHP. I know it's got a bad rep, but it's a good tool for people who know how to use it well. That said, most tutorials and code examples out there are just terrible--ugly

Do you remember the story that Kevin Rose started digg with 500 bucks (or some such amount)? It wasn't until I watched the mixergy interview with Owen that I found out that was false. While that wasn't betrayal, it did leave a bad taste in

The accusation came at a really strange time. I'm inclined to think more people jumped on the government conspiracy bandwagon because of the recent release of the diplomatic cables via wikileaks. Incidentally, I thought I had seen Mr. Perry

I was going to mention that, but I don't think it would mesh with HN that well. First, it would change everything to an affiliate link, not just amazon. More importantly, it doesn't seem to work with links you open in a new tab because it u

I'd change all amazon links to affiliate links (assuming they weren't affiliate links already, not that I've seen very many here). There are a boat load of posts devoted to books here, and lots of book recommendations going on outside those

I've got a real love/hate thing going on with Ferris. He seems like he's got a lot of confidence and has done a lot of neat stuff. But at the same time, I can't help but feel that he uses his life experiences as ammo wrapped in exaggeration

My Miles Davis station is great for that. The station "Groove Salad" on soma.fm is also a good one--depending on your tastes, they may have some other channels that work better for you.

Proprietary or not, it is an accessible language and IDE. The idea of learning an open language is a good one. But, I think at the high-school level, it would be more important to expose students to something with a low barrier of entry. I

I'll agree with that. But, why does (did?) digg have to grow? I was a dedicated user for the two first years and loved it. There was no better place to get general sci/tech/computer news. I kinda feel like no aggregator stepped in and gave
