I think maybe Brushwood really was Teller's long lost son. Only Teller and Brushwood's mom knew the truth. This fact would explain everything .

I think it would probably be worth something, not sure about $100. But I see the biggest problem is trust. I would be afraid you would send me the top 3-12 instead of the top 1-10 that you found.

I remember flipping channels one day and saw Bryant Gumbel on screen with an email address superimposed. (Was he on "Today" I never watched those shows so don't remember which one it was). He said that viewers could contact the show via ema

I love the dollar coins. I used to take all my change to the post office, put it all in the stamp machine at once, buy a single stamp and get my change back in $1 coins. A lot of people must have done that because the software was changed a

You know how every once in awhile you hear about some celebrity's phone getting "hacked" and their contact list stolen? HHmmmmm........

Good point I wasn't thinking about the account creation part when I read the article. I have only posted once on CL and didn't create an account.

I think Craigslist's authentication scheme only works if your users don't need to be logged in very often. Otherwise it's a royal pain.

I'd rather you just go ahead and let us look at it :) Sounds like a very neat product, and something I was just wishing for last week. That's the reason I went ahead and tried to sign up. The point I was trying to make (rather poorly as usu

Well I feel completely scammed out of my email address by ZenInbox. I usually never sign up for these pre-releases, but after I read through the intro, I "signed up for the beta" expecting to actually see some of the app that was described

I don't think anyone is actually reading the whole question. The OP has already resigned, leaving in 2 weeks. He is asking what to do in the interim. This is not legal advice: 1. Good for you, sticking to your principles and quitting. 2. Th

Where is that recent HN article that stresses the importance of a good subject if you want people to click on your link?

I must not be cool because I'm not really hearing "gchat" thrown around in normal conversation. Certainly not enough to write an article about it.

Great, now we can never have a poster that says Hack on it because Ben Barry has one and will complain on Twitter if you do.

I can;t believe this article didn't even mention Jaimie's claim to fame, the giant robot videos. Those things are hilarious. "I'm gonna make a giant robot, but I have to build a shop first. Oh, and I don't have wood, but I have trees, time

Well that's the whole problem isn't it? If they had asked up front for permission this article would not have been written.

I live in Alabama, and I can tell you that law enforcement is sabotaging this law by taking it way beyond the intent and even the letter.. Examples: 1. Police chief of the little speedtrap town of Glencoe, Al announces to local paper that a

While this article has some good points, I feel it's advice on how to advertise is misguided. Why does a government mandated monopoly waste money advertising? Every time USPS asks for a rate increase I can't help but wonder how much they sp

You must have not even looked at the link, because these cannot possibly be mistaken for "public domain ROMS". And yes, he provides, links to, and encourages the use of.

It won't take SOPA to kill this. The existing laws are enough.

Are the traditional cable premium channels like HBO & Showtime even relevant anymore? I would hate to be them. I'm sure many (most?) will disagree, but I see these services as on their way out. Quickly. They could have lived longer had

I'm going to have to remember that "disgraphia" word. It's a lot easier to be excused for something that sounds like a medical condition, rather than just saying my handwriting sucks.
