Hacker News Reader

In academia, seeing your research being published by someone else sucks, but the consolation prize is that you know you had the right instincts choosing what to research.

I was trying to figure out what this post had to do with Abbie Hoffman's '72 "Steal This Book", but I guess the answer is nothing whatsoever.

Too bad he tossed it, it may not have done well but would have been an interesting read in anycase.

I personally know someone who was writing a thriller about "the Jesus bloodline" just before Dan Brown.

(In retrospect, I think that author had more respect for historical facts, but he wasn't so adept at writing a page-turner.)

Ideas are worthless. Unless you find sucker to sign the cheque. Er i mean... Unless you make them happen.

Fact.

I too had the idea of building a catalogue of available coeds at my university, and yet, I am not a billionaire.

(Zuck stole my luck!)

Good News!
