   Is it really any different than the YC job postings and constant posts from TechCrunch and the like? Why wouldn't you make a post on HN to try to get some extra eyeballs? It isn't like you can pay to have posts on the front page - you still

   I wish I could sit down and talk with him for an hour or so. I'm a Unix programmer but I suspect I could learn as much from him about software design as from weeks of talking with just about anyone else.

    I had a Nook Glowlight for about 6 months and the main downside is that the light screen is incredibly fragile. I am careful with my gadgets and I've managed to break 3 of them just by accidentally knocking stuff onto them (like, slipping a

    Thanks for all of the help, everyone - HN is great for this sort of "real-world" feedback. I'll update this thread later when I have a chance to make some changes.
