   All vacuum cleaners I've owned became completely useless after one or two sessions of cleaning. We now have a Dyson and I don't notice a difference in suction with an empty canister or a 90% full one and don't need to empty it for weeks, it

   Or worse, stream pirated music or movies! Sarcasm aside, I imagine that would be a pretty big issue for them.

   Could you add the option to let the payee set the price? That would be great for donations and pay-what-it's-worth-to-you transactions. :)

   Missed opportunity here, if you had set it $1 I'm sure some of us would have paid just for the hell of it. I know I would. :)

   I spent this morning porting my Firefox add-on to Google Chrome. Chrome's API isn't as powerful but so much easier to pick up, I think this article illustrates the difference perfectly!

   Reddit does this pretty well, they often feature a submission with a dot instead of the number of votes. Perhaps HN could randomly put a thread at the top without showing votes.

    Any front page link on HN, Reddit or StumbleUpon will get around that number of hits, no marketing required. One of my sites received nearly a million hits last month from social networks without any advertising.

    We're currently looking for a junior Drupal developer and decided to leverage LinkedIn to find someone local (Geelong, VIC AUS if anyone is interested). It wasn't helpful at all, which is frustrating because I'm sure there are plenty of peo

    The name was inspired by http://cornify.com , how is it misleading? I'd be happy to refund your 10 seconds.

    Oh cool, my half-hour project is on HN! I made this a year ago on my netbook while waiting for the bus. Interesting how my silliest ideas are the most successful ones.

    Add the sender e-mail address to your address book. If that doesn't help, create a filter. Priority inbox can be turned off.

    Valid point, I'll lower the main image a bit and figure how to keep at least the sides of the ad clickable if it's still covered.

    Yes that's the site. I was actually surprised to find out it was cheaper to spend an extra 10 bucks on Linode than to offload the images to S3 although that might change if the site gets bigger. I actually contacted Ben Huh from the Cheezbu

    Close! It's actually Xmonad on CrunchBang Linux and I'm using the Compact Menu addon. There is no status bar, I just placed the icons to the tab bar.

    Just by moving stuff around. Addons to the tab bar, bookmarks to the address bar. I used an addon to compress the menu and moved it to the tab bar as well. I then removed the empty menu and bookmarks toolbars. I'm using Firefox 4. Oh and ha
