What if I just add a place for visitors to donate and in return for donations I offer an arbitrarily small percentage of the company that just so happens to be proportional to the donation amount? Those who donate will just have to take my

Is stock exchange not automated for the most part? People can buy and sell their stocks with pretty much just the click of a button. That's essentially what I'm looking for.

Great comment... but am I the only one who is slightly bothered by the inconsistent capitalization? :|

Yeah what's up with that?! I think in this day and age people are more than capable of being both highly creative and logical.

Upvoted solely for "keep 'em coming!" This article was truly awesome. I'm kicking myself for having not thought of it before because it seems like such a simple concept! Makes me wonder what else out there I haven't thought of... ;)

I've never played StarCraft but I would totally play that. That actually looked like a lot of fun. Make it happen Blizzard!

There's gotta be quite a few auto submission bots going on here... cough TechCrunch cough ...not that I have any problem with it. I'm just amazed at how quickly TechCrunch (and similar) articles find their way onto HN.

As someone who's signed to a record label (Victory Records) and has talked with many other bands about their experiences with their record labels, I'd have to say that this post is mostly true in the sense that VCs and record labels are com

I've noticed that I have the ability to go between introverted and extroverted (regardless of alcohol consumption haha)... When I'm solving problems and piecing stuff together while glued to my computer I definitely get into a zone or mode

You don't have to sign up for anything unless you want to rate the bookmarklets. Everything else you can do anonymously. I don't have a github account but I'll look into it tomorrow. Sounds like a good move to make if I want people to tr

(I actually posted this earlier under a different title but I don't think anyone saw it.) A while back I had the urge to sort HN comments and figured a javascript bookmark was the best way to go. My thoughts eventually led me to, "Hmm wh

I thought it sounded quite beautiful. Gave me chills. On a related note, a tech metal band called "After the Burial" wrote a breakdown according to pi. The song is actually called "Pi (The Mercury God of Infinity)"... and for those of you

This is why I've always been a huge fan of Unreal Technology. You could definitely call me a fanboy since I played the original Unreal (the game on which UT was based) avidly for years... but for good reason. Just like most males my age,

I strongly disagree about the "stretching is bad for you" part... but I guess he did say "without your body warmed up"... you always want to stretch before working out but get your body warmed up first by jogging in place or doing jumping

I heard a small portion of this on the radio earlier today and I thought it was good enough to share. There are a lot of excellent points made. I tuned in around 41:50 in the audio feed. Start listening there for some good points made by

Yeah I had noticed that but didn't think much of it. It does get kind of annoying. It shouldn't take long at all to do... so I'll add a div with a fixed position way off the page and out of sight to preload the images since I want the land

I put the "Get Started Now" buttons on their own lines and indented them slightly. And as for the logo, I have the g's hanging over the image so that the rest of the text lines up. I tried moving it up but it just looks weird to me. I pre

It only took me a minute or two to write a javascript bookmark (i.e., paste this in as browser URL) that will bypass the tweet requirement: javascript:a=window.frames[0].document.getElementById('bg').src.split('/');a.pop();window.

Haha yeah I had a feeling people who saw the original would doubt I created the new version. I had a number of people respond to my previous revisions telling me to hire a designer. I never bothered saying "I can do it myself" because I f

Regardless of whether or not life's necessities are provided for the CEO(s) outside of their salary, the fact that he is taking a relatively massive, honorable paycut remains... which frees up a hefty sum of money every year, allowing worke
