Good ol' Mr. Hedley in 7th Grade English class refused to let any of us use the following words the entire year: am, is, are, was, were, be, been. Any paper turned in that contained one of those had to be re-written. My English, and clari

Those claiming here that Fox news are lying bastards are probably going to be equaled by the number of people here claiming that NPR leans left. As objectively as I can observe, the real outliers (far to the left) are the entire NBC/MSNBC

I misread the headline. I thought there was an emerging market for undeveloped tech talent (noobs) like there is for sports league drafting and trades. I have some noobs I'd like to trade in for some with different talent sets.

This is not my site, though it well could be. If Wells doesn’t change some of this soon, they’re going to lose customers in droves. While many may argue that it can afford to lose customers who carry very low balances, those customers are

Thank you and your liberal arts sensibilities for capturing one perspective of this moment in time - the zeitgeist, if you will. It is good to remember where we came from, better still to know where we are. The real hackers are still out t

Marketing? How to win friends and influence people? What's next on HN, dating advice? No, scratch that. It'll be how to 'hack' the perceptions of people so you can take advantage of them. I expect to see spam for Mystery Method here in
