Happily this isn't Stack Overflow and this discussion hasn't been closed yet just because a few admins didn't think think it would fit within "Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups."
Edit: to clarify - there are a number of reasons why this topic is interesting to quite a few of us[1]. Here are two:
* the usability issue of what we experience as someone someone destroying a good resource.
* reputation systems: a facinating thing in itself.
[1]: as can be seen by the simple fact that this post is still on the frontpage despite - I guess - having been flagged multiple times : )
