   You still get my respect for shipping something and showing it to HN. There's not many people that manage to do that. That being said I'd like to have a little more to see before I give up my e-mail address.

   Come on. If you're gonna post to HN don't link me to some landing page with a huge jpg of 2 chicks and a form to put my e-mail in. I feel like this goes against Show HN/hacker etiquette

   I was disappointed, a pretty inconsequential blog post reaching far for anything worth writing. "So while the first astronauts to the moon went as technicians, they came back as humanitarians." meh.

   Yeah, calling it "The Five Year Itch" is a great way to alienate anyone who hasn't worked in the same job for 5 years. Also who, when bored with their current job, asks themselves "oh how could I scratch this Five Year Itch that I'm having"

    There's clearly some injustice at work here, we must fight to have more women put in prison! Stop the injustice!

    I love what Lockitron did. I'm sure the dismay of getting rejected by Kickstarter drove them to open-source their work, and they did a great job. They put a lot more work into open-sourcing their efforts than I've seen from many (any?) star

    Yeah, Patrick has mentioned that they're working on the UK before. Makes sense, it's the next-biggest English-speaking market after Canada.

    I used 10.04 for quite a long time and am now on 11.10 without Unity, I grew quite tired of always having incredibly outdated packages on 10.04 (the great utility of "sudo apt-get install and it will always just work" being the only reason

    The sound of BitStant reminds me of "stunt" like a trick, or stunted like stunted growth. Either way not words i'd like associated with my brand were I a credit card company.
