I skim submission titles and consider everything else subtext. The titles aren't distinguished enough for me here, I find my eyes jumping around more than I'd like them to.

I'm not sure if this is spam or a legitimate post of someone's new project. It doesn't help that you submitted this twice with different names. I'm going to be nice, assume there i…

I was expecting the author to actually answer the question in the title.

I have been off Facebook for sometime now for a variety of reasons. People who know me are probably tired of my rants about privacy, data retention, and other Facebook woes. But I …

Absolutely. I have a wireless button on my laptop and I generally disable wireless when I want to get work done. I like the idea of a physical ritual, I kind of want to build a big…

That actually sounds incredible, I might just start using it. Thanks!

But I am also much more effective at tasks on the computer when I don't have internet.

I have been considering making the same leap. For me it's about forcing some boredom into your life. With the Internet and TV I feel hyper stimulated all the time. To find entertai…

I'm assuming she just deleted the photo and they were fishing for some kind of proof.

Do you really consider Facebook a private setting?

Soon after, the district’s Special Education Director wrote to Hester, saying “[I]n the absence of you voluntarily granting Lewis Cass ISD administration access to you[r] Facebook …

Ideally that could be classified as a derivative work, which one could argue is fair use. But, that argument will happen in a court after you have been sued. The "Kind of Bloop" af…

Fair use is a fickle beast and not something to rely on. I have no idea how those sites exist without lawsuits but I would not consider them shining examples of web success.

You have two problems: 1. On the internet large amounts of traffic means that you will have trolls galore. In my eyes some of those comments are normal internet fodder and just nee…

I love the positive response this is getting! Sometimes I fall back into thinking HN is just another list of news, but a real sense of community pops up at a moment like this. Good…

I can't really stand up for Megaupload, but I'm frightened by the power wielded by labels. Perhaps it's time to start a movement of only consuming local and independent art.

Why isn't this video hosted on Megavideo?

Where is a good place to learn the ins and outs of contracts? Is there a comprehensive website or book that you can recommend? I am early in my career and have been on both sides o…

That sounds like a really great place to work and a good guy to work for.

I think you could have come up with a more appropriate title, the connection is a bit of a stretch. The content, however, looks great. I just purchased a physical copy.

The trick about this concept, and this strategy, is that you have to consider just what exactly you are practicing. I took a peek at his MySpace ( http://www.myspace.com/sickabodsa…

I've never found a reliable way to find quality blogs. The only ones I check regularly were referred to me by a friend. I would love to spend a few days really digging to build an …

I've always found that nothing ever happens unless I do it myself. That's generally how I treat problems, and it has left me in a better place because of it. On the rare occasion I…
