If I had a website that got 14k visits in a month, would I expect to make a living from it? (genuine question. my personal website doesn't get 14k visits a year, let alone a month)

As if a Bay Area kid whose parent has a couple extra grand to bid on such dinners is going to be short on advantages in startuplandia. How about a chance for disadvantaged kids to attend a YC dinner?

A few bugs: * The links for the very first project on the page are obscured by the ad * Every single project's network and watchers page link to linux * If somebody doesn't have a blog (eg torvalds) their "blog" link goes to "null" * If you

I object to the description of haggis' ingredients as "awful". Unusual perhaps, but "awful" is a little harsh, especially considering how delicious haggis is.

Nice one - the more I use Stylus, the more I love it.

I got AppleCare on my 1st-gen MacBook Pro for peace of mind. Although I haven't really needed it since I bought it, I don't regret buying it: I didn't have a lot of money at the time, and if something had happened to the MBP I couldn't have
