Sounds like a pitch to fill open positions at YC funded companies. Nothing wrong with it, just the verbiage of the post -- "surprising hack". It is a hack which feels like Sam just thought up of or made it up. Because otherwise, t

I support this notion. I dont think there is any current organization which deals with patent rights + free internet etc. There is EFF but no one takes it seriously. EFF is such a joke that Google autocomplete doesnt even find it even if yo

Hi, Thanks for the response. You echoed exactly what my friend suggested, that I take a break and get my financial situation together. I agree with you. I ignored my personal life a little too long. I will take some time and rethink. Yes, I

Hi, How about you add some of your own flair to the site? Everything about the site screams mixergy and andrew. Except its you interviewing. Just because andrew seems to have no issues doesnt mean you can con and confuse visitors. Sorry abo

or maybe, everyone is going to be worth $10 in a long run. 2bn users * $10, they have already made their money. And its a cheap assumption.

Someone really screwed it up somewhere. They should update this page section of "out of scope" by including "Alternate bios images". http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/f... just kidding.

ok, I think the chromeos forums deleted the thread. They are not in any way affiliated with google btw. Here is the screenshot which has instructions from the guy who said he flashed. http://imgur.com/TN21R Here is the BIOS which came wi

Yes. It is expensive even for a single installation.. Now, if the cost were $50 to install a seatbelt, then the magnitude of the issue of "costs of installing seat belts" wouldnt be so big and instead people would be judging the "need for

On a side note, Anyone else surprised that installing seat belts would cost an additional 8000 - 12000 _per_ bus. That just sounds a lot of BS. $170 million per state. LOL.
