I would hope that when our budget deficit is measured in the trillions that our Congress doesn't look to World Bank contributions as the first thing to cut. The WB is a form of foreign aid. I'd think it's really one of the lower things on t

But the politicians will make it seem like it is. These are the kind of people that thought "hacking the Internet" in The Core was a plausible scenario.

I consider myself conversant with 4chan, and I had no idea that the dis subdomain existed. I always wondered if there was a chan for hackers...now I realize there is. And oh boy, what a chan it is.

Wait, is LulzSec actually doing anything interesting here or are they just DDOSing everyone? The EVE Online comment makes it sound like it's just a bunch of guys with LOIC...

I'd read a seed-stage only TechCrunch...is there some way to filter TC to do this?

Tapping the screen? Also, is right/wrong reporting really that important? I don't have a way to do it with paper flashcards...

Man, Ubuntu's changed a lot since I used it last (8.0 days). They've taken a lot of UI cues from the mobile space (app stores, launchers) and adapted it to the desktop.

I'm not a huge fan of "just grople it" on the homepage either. If I just encountered your service for the first time, I don't know what "gropling" is, so I don't know how to "grople it". Your startup name becoming a verb is something earned
