   I agree with this in concept, but that doesn't mean that YC must fill that niche. Along those lines, it would be nice if there was a good system for getting hired as an employee (not co-founder) of an early stage startup (and not just in S

   Maybe Reddit should organize a campaign to send every member of congress a copy of _1984_, and maybe _Fahrenheit 451_. Seems like they could pull it off. On the other hand, it might just give them more ideas.

   Maybe put in fake whois information for the day that the transfer is happening. Once it's moved, re-enable the privacy. The info doesn't even need to be fully fake, you can use a throwaway email address so that you're still reachable.

   I don't have any clue about how Google works internally, but you could try to add some URL rewriting magic to your web server so that "/mypage/1" becomes "/mypage.php?id=1" internally. A change like that might be enough to make it not look

   No errors for me in Chrome 14 on Win7. It is broken in IE 9.

   Except that if you go back that far, not all of the ancestors are likely to be distinct.

    I doubt Chrome is going to start running the scripts for the pages that it's pre-fetching.

    It makes it easier for people to build web applications instead of Windows applications. If people build web apps, then Google has a shot at making some money off of it if the designer wants to monetize with ads or google checkout.

    The login has now been changed so that you can start chatting without logging in with Google. Again, thanks for the tip.

    Thanks. That sounds like a good idea. I could probably allow either unverified nick or verified google id, and render the names slightly differently in the chat log.

    By this logic, Amazon will pay you to take a Kindle by the start of next year. Amazon makes future money on Kindle owners because they're avid book readers and they buy a lot of eBooks. If Amazon were to give away Kindles for free a lot of

    Very cool. I've been thinking about something like this (asynchronous message transfer) lately. I would want to use good public key crypto for message signing and encryption. If it was built as a pass-the-note game (with points, achievement

    I agree that PCI is a great introduction to the field. If you're not sure which tool to use to solve a problem, it's great for pointing you in the right direction. Just a word of warning (@toby, correct me if I'm wrong), but most of the e

    26 here too. I felt like on some of them I would project a choice onto the eyes. Some where easy (only one choice made sense), and some seemed completely arbitrary.
