Khan Academy has had exercises for a while now. It's probably one of the best open source projects to work on, in terms of impact and how easy it is to contribute. You only need to know HTML and a little JavaScript. The exercises are modula

Thanks, I appreciate the advice! This is my first real "startup" attempt, so your perspective is really valuable. I will be referring to this comment a lot in the future. :)

Hi Mike! A few years ago, I created a website where users could submit Flash game walkthroughs. It got about 200 or so guides, but never really went past 1,000 uniques a day. I'm trying to build a similar site right now, and any advice woul

You seem to be saying that if Gates didn't support the decision, then he would try to get Ballmer out. I disagree -- this isn't a big enough issue for that. (Edit: I should clarify. It is a big issue, but Ballmer wasn't acting on his own.

It doesn't have to do with political correctness, but rather stock price. If it comes out that Bill Gates thought this was a bad move, Microsoft shares will fall. He'd be hitting himself on the head with a hammer.

You're right about that, but Dvorak is much easier on the hands. The average distance travelled by your fingers is greatly reduced. (It looks like Colemak beats both, though: http://colemak.com/Compare. )

You should run the phrase through Chinese more often. Google Translate is horrendous with that language. I just had two Taiwanese exchange students over at my house for a few weeks, and they had a game of watching Google return garbage ev

I'm a sophomore in a high school that allows, but does not require, a laptop. Two of my sisters go to separate schools which require them. I can't speak much about how well that has worked out there, but at the very least they haven't rev

I found that RailsTutorial explains Ruby well enough that I didn't need to learn it separately from Rails. The author covers Ruby concepts not found in PHP (such as ranges and symbols) in chapter four. Everything else could be filled in b

I've never used it, but the Google Docs API fit your requirements: http://code.google.com/apis/documents/ It accepts doc, docx, and pdf and does export to HTML. I'm unsure about what the API rate limit is, though. The FAQs suggest that

The nice thing about a community of hackers is that things like this are already done for you. Use HN Toolkit to blacklist WikiLeaks articles: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/25039

> Are you willing to kill 20 people per year to keep safe? Unfortunately, the answer for most is yes. That's more or less the definition of war. Edit: Yikes! I'm really getting downvoted here, but no one's saying why. I didn't say I agr

Keep in mind those of us still in high school. My mom is the one who collects the mail and the latest cover led to an awkward conversation. It is wholly unnecessary for a technology publication to have that cover. At the very least, they sh

As a fellow high-schooler ("one who high-schools"?), I'm impressed! You certainly seem to be doing everything that I wish I were doing right now. This is new found motivation for me to start working on the Rails app that's been in the back

About 50 years ago, a researcher developed a language he designed to test the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis called "Loglan." A speaker of its successor (Lojban) posted an AMA on Reddit last year[1]. He posted this in regards to whether or not it b
