That's a good point that I hadn't realized. If this were to pass, they can get you on using encryption without actually charging you with any other crime. That's scary.

I live in a small midwestern town that has recently taken to the idea of roundabouts. At first, I was extremely pleased (having good experiences with them in Paris/French HW systems) but I quickly became discouraged when I realized that 90%

I also have this problem, but I'm too tall for that. I'd end up with 6-8 inches of ankle showing if I did that.

This program is aimed at emotional health, but I think you could work it into a good system to measure mental health as well: http://www.findingoptimism.com/

I'm going to take a leap here, but I'm pretty sure that -- on the internet -- hacker/blogger/programmer/designers are not a 'niche'. There are numerous communities for all of these people. Instead you should focus on groups of people who ha

I like the idea, and I apologize for having nothing more productive to say other than 'sounds quite a bit like Flickr.' Flickr has all of these features. Their main purpose is to host photographs, but with the rise of info-graphics (good st

I wonder how this relates to Reddit. Both sites (SO and Reddit) have unique, community driven and created sections. Would a site like Reddit benefit from turning some of these sections into top-level domains? I know that they are having fin

I wonder if this isn't a more common problem than some hackers realize. We don't all want to be CS and programming geniuses. We just want to know enough to get by and prove that our ideas can work. A common sentiment among this group is tha

I like the idea, but not everything needs to be social. I've been slowly working through certain collections of movies, and if I could add them automatically to my queue, that would be great. I have no need to 'show off' to my friends, beca

A mother and her child have a completely different relationship than two grown adults. Assuming that we should break our backs for our parents because of the natural order of life seems silly to me.

(I submitted this story.) I would really like to see Chris Ashworth interviewed on Mixergy. I think he's got a great story on niche marketing, problem solving, and pushing things forward. (Edited for grammar.)

Why not simply have two CSS files? One would show the links in the same style as the main text, one would show the links so they can be explored. A simple button next to each post and you could choose depending on your wants. (Note: I am no

I'm going to go out here on a limb, and vote no. It's not needed - that I can see - and would only serve to clutter.

'And if it's a PDF, you can go to hell!' I get what you are saying, and there are a lot of good reasons to believe in using the basic file formats (read: old formats, not better formats), but I think that this is a poor way of looking a
