I think punitive measures generally do not work. What is great about this is that it breaks someones sub-conscience, snaps them out of their behavior (hopefully), at the very moment of corruption.

I usually overbuy bananas since they are so easy to eat on the go, but can also be quickly turned into the most amazing vegan ice-cream. 1. Freeze ripe bananas 2. Mash with strawberries/blueberries/mangos/etc. 3. (optional) Add agave nectar

Reminds me of an incident I had with my account at NeSol some years ago. I used to get promotional cards in the mail from them, always in pairs, one addressed to my login account name and the other addressed to my password. It seemed inconc

For those of you in Chicago, you have to check out the Dominicks at Chicago and Damen... The cast of characters at this place are something straight out of Ghost World! This captivating distraction aside, I am pretty sure all the Dominicks

Couldn't help throwing my family's Armenian rice pilaf recipe into the mix. Any spiced meat/chickpea/falafel atop is fantastic! Lived on it in college. It's really meant to be cared for, treated much like a risotto. The Ingredients 1 1/4 Cu

Very useful; I always lose my manuals. Would love to see an iPhone app; Ability to take a photo of the barcode/serial#, say of my stereo receiver, and get the manual right on my iPhone screen.

I say no, but because of who it is coming from. Would this work coming from, say, Comcast? I know to me it wouldn't. I'd view it as pure advert. But if I got one from Wufoo it would simply validate, reassure and go along side with what I al

I agree completely. I was actually an art major and one thing that I learned very quickly was that the last person to appreciate or even understand a work of art was the artist himself. It's often very difficult to see the value in somethin

B.A. in Art and Photography. I was working in the mail room of a financial company here in Chicago when word got around that I was an art major and that I was into computers. The CIO came over one day and dropped a 4" stack of HTML print ou

Very cool... I'll have to forward this on to my grandfather. A few years back I lived with him for a year in Brighton, UK and we'd spend hours discussing technology and engineering over tea or a pint. What I enjoyed the most most about our

I have to agree with you... Apple, I feel, did not take the "this is the next step in mobile computing and we're leading the way" approach here. It's just a thin, albeit gorgeous, computer. I'm not saying I don't want one, of course.

Same here! I still remember going to the mall pleading my case to Santa.

That would be interesting. I could be wrong about the photographer, but I believe it was Eugene Atget who has a photograph of a completely empty Paris street (I cound't find it online), one that is usually bustling. His effect was achieved

I agree... I think this idea of ownership is growing as "everyday" web users feel a need to own their online identities and data. We already are seeing this with tools like Weebly. Web developers and techies have enjoyed this luxury for qui

I have not seen this... Cool. Historically though eBay has never put any effort into creating a user friendly experience. "San Dimas" may be a sign that they are wising up and starting to realize that maybe they do have things to fear. It b

Of course always a possibility (myspace/photobucket), but I was just supporting Auctomatic's decision seeing as at every turn eBay seems to make their tools harder and harder to use. There are a million reasons why Auctomatic shouldn't both

eBay seems to do everything in their power to prevent usability. Auctomatic hopefully will capitalize on this.

It has nearly been a week for me. I used to visit multiple times a day, but I prefer the strong focus of news.yc. Just wondering if anyone else has found news.yc as addictive.

For many it's a willingness to move beyond their comfort zone. Once they know the stress/workload/etc. levels will have them on their tippy-toes and no higher, they may be ready.

Interesting... I lean more to the latter, I am usually happy to seed, as you put it, other startups I find useful, but not necessarily meeting my needs. I think posting your startup on news.yc allows it to be given a closer look since the

This is really cool. Adding storage or fixing arrays after drives fail can be such a pain, but Drobo looks like it really solves both these issues.

The ThinkPad T Series are my favorite, next is the X Series. The only issues I have had running linux on then is getting fingerprint reader going... I honestly didn't even bother trying. I have a friend who used to work on the ThinkPad line

I agree, forums as a whole are inadequate. I think sites like Chowhound.com have done an incredible job at brining an interesting perspective on forum interaction.

PowerBook 15" 1.25 512. I too am anticipating a 12/13" MacBook Pro. I've had it since 2003 and it still runs like a champ, but I am on the road so often that I need something more portable. Maybe the iPhone will offer a decent, albeit basic
