Simple: Make it inconvenient. Require anybody who marks a post inappropriate to fill in a textbox explaining themselves. Apply a basic 'stupid filter' to submissions (just to strip out submissions which are gibberish or vulgar) and make

>Grunge-Retro Fonts I was actually thinking a lot of the examples had an almost steampunk vibe to them. Others remind me of some of the music videos that came out in 2002 - 2005, when emo bands started playing with goth themes. I can'

Looking at a couple of the examples and screwing with the text size a bit, everything seems to work fine except extremely big text (which makes any page look bad).

"Orbital - Doctor?" I'm at work, and my work playlist on anywhere.fm has a bunch of Orbital on it...very soothing. :)

I now have Tool stuck in my head. Yes, it's related to the puzzle. Would probably be a better puzzle if you said they were aiming to get out ASAP (although you could fairly assume it...) My solution, before I look at others' replies: One

I like the site overall, but here's some initial gripes: "20% off Everything and Free Shipping on All Orders" Could probably stand to qualify this with 'Special Offer' or if it's something you always do, 'We always offer...' or something.

Ye gods. I'm skinny, but somebody needs to pin that guy to the ground and pour some lard down his throat or something. Then again, if they ever decide to do 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' with real actors, he'd be a shoe-in for the lead

Yeah, it took me all day to read (occasional bouts of reading between time spent doing actual work, I mean). Very well worth reading; I've been considering moving to apple for some time now, and this was a great overview of the kind of thi

>you are not an "unofficial co-founder". You are employee #1. Big difference. If you're not getting paid, how are you an employee? If your only compensation is equity, that means that you're putting as much on the line as the co-founde

I never liked LOGO. It was just one of the programs available for us to play with during 'computer lab time', and as far as I can remember we were never taught how to use it; commands were passed on in a sort of oral tradition from older s

I've experienced this, but there's a problem. I don't remember where I read it, but there's a programming rule I picked up somewhere. It's something along the lines of, "Debugging is harder than programming, so if you program the cleveres

I like light on dark, as you say, but not bright on dark, as whacked said. Light gray or grayish blue / green on on black or dark, dark red is my preferred. I keep a .txt on my desktop with html in it to make font exactly how I like it.

Enh, I dunno. I kind of see this in the same light as /.'s way of allowing you to preview, but not edit or delete, a comment. On the average, I think it brings up the quality of posts on an individual basis, the longer a person has regula

Sounds like IRC. Once you find a chan you like and kind of settle in, you realize that the actual convo rarely relates to the title of the chan, but is still of interest to the people who regularly go there. IRC is pretty popular, I don't

I've never heard of anything like this, though I've thought of it quite a long while back for Reddit. The problem is that it won't solve anything. Most people will still downvote / leftvote things they don't agree with and upvote / rightv
