How about not letting people post comments for a week (or a month) once their karma falls below a certain amount? Such as this guy above.

The teenwag spammers just reregister new accounts after making a few postings. Ticking people off is not the best of ways to get traffic & users.

For the founders getting acquired is a jackpot. For workaday drones getting acquired means update your resume because you'll be out in a year.

Why is acquisition integration such a hard problem? How come no big company has figured out how to buy a startup and not drive it into the ground?
