I believe that Rivers Cuomo (Weezer) also travelled to Russia to have one of his legs lengthened (he previously suffered from some pretty severe back problems). So there are reason for lengthening legs beyond wanting to be taller. http://w

I don't think I've ever hired anyone without first Googling their name, if for no other reason than curiosity. That said, I've never not hired, or not interviewed based on something I've seen in the SERPs.

It should be pointed out that Engineering education is broken. For some reason they take it as a point of pride that 50% of engineering students drop out (or fail) in the first year. To my opinion, eating your young is something to be asham

Wow, after about 10 seconds I'd vote time.com to be the world's 2nd most annoying website. For some bizarre reason it kept forcing my scroll back to the top of the page (safari 4), making it impossible to read the article.

stupidsiteforjerks.com: I thought it would be funny if you could upload pictures of people and let them know you think they're a jerk. It would also be funny (to me...) to sell merchandise from "The Jerk Store". That this is the best start-

You'll forgive my hyperbole, but I was trying to make a point. What I'm trying to get at is the reason the people in charge of most companies are "clueless about technology" is that some technical people aren't capable of speaking to them i

You are who your project yourself as, and to the billions of people who haven't met him who may stumble across his stuff online, he comes across as a selfish dick. IRL he could be happiness and teddy bears stuffed with sunshine, but so far

You know, I've read a bunch of Zed's articles, and I always end up thinking that he's the source of most of his problems. There was a talk I saw him give (can't find the link) to a bunch of college kids where he basically said "phone in you

I opened up the page and just clicked "go"... seemed like a good place to start. I waited a few seconds and nothing happened. Then I noticed the little clock at the bottom ticking away. "Okay", I thought, "it's working..." but 30 seconds la

In my experience employee reviews are typically de-motivational. My employer has me rate my team members on a scale from 1 to 6 on a variety of work related criteria. The basis for getting a raise rests on the employees ability to increase

With so many SEO articles I find that it's all so incredibly gimmicky and formulaic. It's more about writing link bait to get link juice and build traffic than creating and sharing quality content. For that reason I would rather not see HN

I liked that they admitted that it was an embarrassing mistake. The use of that word resonates with anyone who has ever done anything stupid only to realize it moments after. For me it's always that same stupid routine operation that I've d

I follow the Zend Developer Zone ( http://devzone.zend.com/public/view ) and find that an interesting article pops up every now and then. I've added a few developer blogs to my feed reader from articles that I discovered there.

In the past I've purposefully avoided submitting articles to Hacker News if they were about PHP. I kind of just assumed that they would be downvoted just for being PHP. I wonder if I'm alone in that? Edit: fixed a typo.

The tactics employed in that post are pretty much the reason I hate "search engine optimizers", "search engine marketers", et al. They're also the reason I end up on Hacker News instead of Digg and Reddit; people who expend so much energy t

When I was in university I would have loved to have all my textbook in one (really small and really light) Kindle as opposed to hauling around 3 or 4 textbooks every day. Even if the margin is only the 30% printing costs it would pay for it

Here's a video of a presentation he did for The Dot Dot Dot lecture series. It's pretty interesting, and he goes on to kind of explain his reasoning for designing his site the way he did: http://vimeo.com/4394152
