If there's no crashing, what would be the point of watching? Seriously, nothing would be more boring than watching 10 cars all driving perfectly in a line. The opportunity for aggressiveness, risk-taking and crashes without human live

Yeah winamp is basically perfect. The library functionality is so amazing and fast, but so simple. I just type in what I want to listen to and click on it. I don't have to hit Enter or wade through recommendations to get to what I wa

Somebody needs to make an automated workflow that just takes ideas from Nugget, forwards them to Protolaunch to pick the best ideas. Then, it could just procedurally generate a company name and logo (lowercase white letter on a rounded rect

I'm neither a big wine or beer drinker, but I must say it's way easier to tell a microbrew from a coors light than it is to discern a $10 cabernet from a $1000 cabernet.

They still have a clause in their terms of service that says they can remove anything that is "offensive", "defamatory", "obscene or otherwise objectionable", so you can't really trust that they'll co
