There are no comment on the blog, so I'm just going to put this here and hope the author sees it (as they appear to have submitted the post): You don't want to write SQL in your co…

I genuinely like the software, and they emailed me a $10 off promo the day before my trial expired. The entire process leading up to the purchase was top notch. Oh, and I didn't kn…

I recently bought Parallels, and it wasn't much better. From the email I sent them (after I finally found an email address): - When I arrived on the checkout page (from the link in…

One small thing, on this page: https://www.appointmentreminder.org/pricing The strings from the "hot" tag to the "Small business" column are wrong. One of the strings needs to come…

I tried that link on my phone and got redirected to the "mobile" home page, then couldn't find the article in question. I'm pretty sure people from ars are in here, if so: please f…

I laughed at the reply to "cat".

In the book "Superfreakenomics", IV is shown to be actively developing insanely simple/improbable solutions for hurricanes (by cycling warmer ocean water with cooler water using ti…

One last, really minor thing: When I create a new event, and click "Untitled Event" to edit it, it would be really nice if it auto-selected the text for me. As is I had to click, t…

Maybe this is just me, but I couldn't get the site to work. Check my profile for the email address I used to sign up. First try, Firefox 3.6 on Snow Leopard: - Opened iPhoto and dr…

Apple recently released the Gallery app, and released a new version with an authentication bug fix the next day. It's pretty safe to say that they don't have to resubmit apps for a…

That's true, I supposed I'd never considered what it would be like from a publisher's perspective. Does HN push enough traffic to make it worthwhile to create content directly targ…

I've submitted 18 articles, and 9 have made it to the homepage ( http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=ironkeith ). I am certainly not a power user, and I don't have a circle of…

You should be recycling, you're wasting valuable nickels.

I guess Dropbox ended up taking legal action against dropbox.com when they started placing ads for Dropbox's competitors. As a result, the domain holder ended up handing the domain…

Yes, but prior to that they used getdropbox.com, not dropbox.net (or something of that ilk). I do believe they were able to lawyer a squatter into releasing the dropbox.com domain …

I'd buy that.

I got super paranoid about that, so I created a system for creating quasi-random passwords for different sites, but based on the same rule: salt+[reversed first four letters of sit…

While we're being sticklers for the guidelines... If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did.

I don't know about this; it doesn't appear to support authentication, or allow me to upvote/downvote (I get that it probably can't ). My only gripe with using HN in Mobile Safari i…

I guess he's never heard of monster.com or 37 Signals.
