So... that logo made me go "what?", and a few seconds later think of Lisa Simpson performing a sexual act, before finally realizing that it says "2012". Conclusions: I'm deranged. That logo is horrible.

Indeed. If you didn't reject the application, then you don't need to explain why you rejected it. That's like saying "I didn't eat the cookie from the cookie jar; I was really hungry and it was delicious."

Same thing with me. I'm in Amsterdam, and whenever I turn AdBlock off to experience the web it its full glory (rarely), all the IP-based targeted ads think I'm in weird places (generally still in Holland, occasionally in Germany). The cent

So, let me get this straight. You give your money to Zopa. Zopa divides it up into chunks and combines it with money from other 'lenders' and gives it to borrowers (which it has performed credit checks on). The borrower pays a fee, a part

According to websites that monitor live AIS signals, the Arctic Sea, built in 1992 and owned by a Finnish company ... I strongly dislike them for naming their boat in that manner.

That's the thing, though. If he's within a reasonable range, then ok. If he's way outside that range you should take a pause and consult someone else. It's just a sanity check on the mechanic, like calling a friend or another shop. I had

Amsterdam here. I'd be interested in a meetup, but I just organized a meetup (non-HN) that went pretty horribly by most standards (people pledging to come and then bailing). But what the heck...

Why the hell would you put that kind of information on a card?! The card should have a serial number on it. That's it. Maybe a name so that people don't get their cards mixed up. Surely the people working on the national security of th

>On the other hand, I found Pimsleur and similar methods of learning languages to be semi-helpful and possibly worth spending money on. Arg. Sorry but I have to disagree. I used Pimsleur to get up and running quickly with Dutch, and l

I remember a while ago there was a debate raging about how California public schools should deal with young ESL children. Should they immerse them in English-only courses (good for English-learning, bad for 'everything else'-learning and p

I have a friend that uses made-up answers, different for every site, and keeps a (secure) list of all of them. Her main concern wasn't that these were guessable, but instead that she doesn't like being required to give every little sign-up

Wow. Talk about over-engineering. Seems like a button would have done the trick. Put them at the ends of streets (or one on each lamppost, if you can afford it) and have it turn on the lights for the street/block.

Simple solution: a requirement of receiving public funds should be that authors are required to make their work available for free online (possibly via a community license). This way the journals don't get a choice as to what copyright sch

Hulu isn't the best example since the corporate 'partners' are really owners. Still, it's going to be interesting to see if this new organization will buckle to legal threats and pressure.
