Have you seen this other frontpage post from today? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1142733 ASmartBear covers this topic from a related angle and it's well worth a read. Esp if, like me, you frequently have to battle the "I'm not good

I like mint for general, personal money tracking but would not use it for anything like a business. I've found it too unreliable and inflexible to be anything more than a supplement for my needs. They do not track all institutions, their a

It looks like all the major Natural Gas exploration/development companies in the US are planning to drill like crazy in 2010/2011 which will likely drop the price of NG off a cliff. So, fuel for this thing will be cheap in the near future (

Invert your projects. Get up earlier and work on your project before you go to the day job. When the day job is done go home and go to sleep so that you get enough rest. If your project is fun and exciting you'll want to get up to work on

That casts the old "I'll just pick up the language as I go... I'm a fast learner" in an interesting light. And I'd take it as a good counter argument to "smart and gets things done". (edit: maybe not "counter arguement since SAGTD is also i

Anyone who downvoted me care to explain why? I don't twitter (which appears to be the primary audience of bit.ly users) and my experience with url shorteners starts and ends with tinyurl (and all the abuses I encountered with that service

Perhaps it's because I'm not a twitter hipster, but what's with all the bitly links? They really detract from an otherwise great post. I personally really prefer to know where I'm going before I click a link. Save bitly for posts that res

Why don't we hear more about people flying planes into buildings in China? Or students (or even teachers!) losing it and shooting up their schools? Is it just that they have better control of their media (so we don't hear about it), better

well, it's been 3 hours and only 4 upvotes. Guess I can kiss another front-page hopeful goodbye. :-( I need to get in with one of the gangs that mass upvote anything one of their members posts. :-/ </wry>
