College student and bootstrapping a startup? Yeah...

According to Wikipedia, there is a similar organization ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Engineer ), but the chapter at my university is inactive (according to their website). Such a shame.

That's a really interesting tradition, Joe — thanks for sharing. As an engineering student in the US, I was unaware of this, but I kind of wish we took part in such a sacrament too. Being an engineer is an honor and truly is something you

I've been beta testing this for a few weeks now and it's pure awesome. It's worth every penny.

I remember reading this in high school. It's a really compelling story that makes me think when I read it.

In terms of keeping track of my events, I use twoschedule ( http://twoschedule.com ). It's sort of shameless plug because yes, I created, but I created it because it's how I wanted to organize because it works. I'm way too busy to use any

I agree with that college is frustrating, although I disagree that the problem lies within lack of facilities or failure to teach proper study techniques or handwriting skills. Rather I think the pervasive problem with contemporary pedagog

haha, seriously? Um, no.

This is true, and a fairly good point, but then again, you don't have nearly the precise control that you do on your desktop.

No more overdraft fees. That's a start—a big start.

Good suggestion. Updated with this and a few others.

At high school, in our dorm room; he was a junior, I a senior. I met our third cofounder years ago on the internet in a blogging network called Random Shapes.

Agreed. I've always been a fan of the intellectual and enlightening conversations here. It's really the main reason I keep coming back.

Lots of people have pointed this out. I was aware of this when I wrote it, however the entire point of the site is to stress basic grammar to the kind of people who would never use either in its alternative context. Most commonly (i.e., a

We were mostly going for true homophones, but we're considering a lot for version 2.

Definitely coming in version 2.

I'm trying to get the common case across. I understand both can be used as both a verb and a noun, but most commonly effect is a noun and affect is a verb. The people who will mess up basic homophones won't be writing anything that'll req

Right. I used both in the original copy. But elsewhere, damn is used as both.

Damned is really only common in North America, so we used the more common damn.

This really is a problem. At the end of the day when I'm reading the HN feed, I usually have about 50 tabs open—this stuff is just too interesting. I usually only read the ones that are quick reads though; i.e., a few paragraphs or a list

Too bad it still sucks. It's such a pain to implement.

Do it. Just do it.

VIM is awesome, spectacular even, but if you're on a Mac, you just simply have to use Textmate. It's really just an amazing piece of software. Who else here is totally stoked about the free 2.0 update?

Steve Jobs, definitely. He has knowledge and skills that no college professor can teach. To get a glimpse of his business genius would be unfathomably valuable.
