i think you might want a better font for the "I use it" links, they were difficult to read on my screen (it could also be the contrast between the text color and button color)

I think we have gotten to the point where "irregardless" is acceptable, it's been used for 100 years and is in just about every dictionary.

Hm, not a lot of linux laptop love so far so I'll throw my hat in. Last December I bought a ASUS U31 (U31SD-A1 Intel Core i3 2310M 2.10GHz 13.3" 4GB Memory 640GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M) and I absolutely love it. The only thing that didn

Politics in the general sense of politics of power and social activism (not all politics need to involve governments). I didn't read the NYT article but I've probably read enough snippets online to get the gist of it. I guess I'm more skep

If Daisey's story wasn't politically charged, if it was just a whimsical autobiographical human interest story I wonder if people would care as much? I think everything I've read indicated that most if not all things he described actually h

I feel like the default twitter bootstrap color and style scheme is starting to get ridiculously overused, maybe it's all the new startup sites using it or maybe it's because I've been looking at a lot of hacker news links. I doubt that's

Nice! Happy to hear that there is another person running Linux. I honestly get a good 10 hours (or at least that's what the power manager reports). It boots so fast with SSD I don't think I'll ever go back :)

I would hesitate putting my head against a flat surface, maybe sitting down would be a better alternative assuming that a few broken bones are OK but serious head trauma is a lot worse.

i doubt this audience is going to be receptive to a site that requires a facebook login. it's probable you have other demographics in mind though.

I would say just because one culture is more inclined to sports and social activities doesn't mean it is racist to use these things as a discriminating factors. I don't think it's possible to argue that a selection criteria is racist unles

> 100 top violin players in the same class, no matter how impressive their individual applications are. Instead, they want a complete and balanced orchestra, for example. I agree that SAT scores shouldn't be the only factor, I disagree

Whether or not you agree with Rand Paul if you are for civil liberties, privacy, and tired of the nanny state then this episode is a good thing. Anything that casts the TSA in a bad light or gives media attention to these areas of concern

How much do families fit in the with culture of startup? Would it be odd for an employee to have to leave in the middle of the day to pick up sick kids at school? Will you be a "good fit" if sometimes your family responsibilities trump work

I don't see much use for this outside the send-a-password use-case. For that it seems like one of those things that might be convenient if I need to send a password/username to a buddy but for anything at all official I don't think you wil
