I respectfully disagree. It's a free country.
MisterMerkin··on Six Apart acquires and shuts down Pownce
I wish I had downmod right now. Go back to reddit you comment troll.
MisterMerkin··on The Erlang Journal
Thanks. I'll pass.
MisterMerkin··on The Twelve Greatest Defunct Tech Magazines Ever
Where's OMNI?
MisterMerkin··on Why McDonald's Fries Taste So Good
Because even nutjobs are right some of the time.
MisterMerkin··on JustHackIt now for sale on SitePoint within 24 hours of being on TechCrunch
Thanks. I'll be using this one from now on. I can't believe the founder sold out. Gotta keep things real, G.
MisterMerkin··on Reformat the Planet: documentary about the Chiptune scene
Is it just me, or do the people waving their fists and getting all excited about tinny blips comming from a Gameboy look utterly ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, it's cool in a sort of hackish way, but worth a scene?
MisterMerkin··on An Article About Startups That Wasn't Written By A Pretentious Asshole
In other words, a dose of reality sorely needed around here.
MisterMerkin··on Ask HN: What do you use for HTML sanitization?
Whitelisting.
MisterMerkin··on Ask YC: what non-top-tier college to apply for?
Seems if your GPA is 4.1 with 4.0 being the highest you can take your pick of where you want to go and they'll probably pay for you, too.
MisterMerkin··on Charlie Munger: Turning $2 million into $2 trillion
So is ice water.
MisterMerkin··on George Carlin dies at 71
He hacked culture, I guess.
MisterMerkin··on Strange new spam attack on News.YC
It might be a result of the Techcrunch exposure. I can just see someone starting to hack some system up ever since they saw a new social news site they hadn't heard of and therefore spammed.

Now is the time to be vigilant.

MisterMerkin··on Amazon's free shipping costing EUR1,000 per day in France
I don't know who this Jeff Bezos guy is but I like the cut of his jib.
MisterMerkin··on Apple crippled DTrace on MacOS X
Whoopty fuckin-doo. Every single app you listed is a stylized piece of crap or can be done as well or better via open source save for your last two examples and even their true worth is debatable.
MisterMerkin··on Have you pondered the moral implications of your startup?
You can't throw out accusations of hate speech at the reddit community without some specifics which I've yet to see you mention in this post.
MisterMerkin··on This is the best 404 page ever
I saw this around five years ago.
MisterMerkin··on Internships at any time of your life
And the intern working for peanuts if anything is a better deal for him/her? I'd say the risks incurred by both sides are equal and that is to say, they are very little.
MisterMerkin··on Paul Buchheit: Is there more to life than money?
Brings Maslow's theory comes to mind.
MisterMerkin··on Ask news.YC: what are you listening to right now?
Exactly. 'Post' implies it ended at some point. And that's something no one will ever agree on the when or if it has ever really died in the first place.
MisterMerkin··on RescueTime Out Of Private Beta, Tracking How (Un)Productive You Are
Well that didn't take long. Wasn't much of a beta was it.
MisterMerkin··on Ask News.YC: What would you do if you were a billionaire?
Fuck giving it away to charity. Just start your own.
MisterMerkin··on Ask News.YC: What would you do if you were a billionaire?
What an appropriate name..

It's as useful as a six hour start up would be, too.

It sounds like you're already off to a great start.
