No, I just changed the name for a bit. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=575487

Perhaps I could have that as an entry possible in my settings. With sufficient karma you get to rename the site.

submit that here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=363

Can you do me a favor and change the word "News" to "Important Work Site".

Why stop there?

How about "User Acceptance Testing - Phase III Results". I won't have to alt-tab so much.

Hell, maybe pg can make the whole site look like an IDE.

I rather liked the strange looks I got from reading Hacker News, but at least I learned a new word today Innocuous - 1. not harmful or injurious; harmless: an innocuous home remedy. 2. not likely to irritate or offend; inoffensive; an innocuous remark. 3. not interesting, stimulating, or significant; pallid; insipid: an innocuous novel.

The word sounds much more interesting than what it actually means though. I like it :)
