♫ I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine, smiling next to Oprah and Paul Graham. ♫ Heh.

Congratulations, pg. If nothing else, being on the cover of Forbes must put a smile on your face.

"Y Combinator--a computer term for a program that runs other programs" Heh... completely wrong, but I suppose it's the best you can expect a non-techie/math nerd readership to get. Heck, it's probably close to the most you can expect the average programmer to get. EDIT: And another one... "Graham met Morris, an authority on the Unix computer language"

How would you explain the Y Combinator to the Hacker News readership?

I wouldn't. I barely understand the concept myself. :-)

...but I know it's much more involved than "a program that runs other programs".
