It seems like websites already that allow you to create and share bucket lists. Using the HN algorithm is good, but that's not something that people going to the website are really going to notice. As far as the user's concerned, they don't care one bit how your website is implemented, just that it works. That said, if you can create something that offers a novel take on the idea, feel free to surprise us :D
2. Good point, It's worth noting that many companies that changed how products were bought and sold (e.g. iTunes, Netflix, Steam) did so by offering a product that was better than what the competition offered, not sticking two fingers up at The Man for its own sake.
I got a quad-core Athlon II CPU, 8GB DDR3 RAM, a new motherboard and a DVD drive for Christmas, so I'm naturally feeling pretty happy about that. :)
I also made an interactive map of Majorca, and you could click on the regions and windows would pop up, showing information about each region. I think I used Dreamweaver 4 for it.
What a shame.
Python.
Too simple? I didn't use any of the signs, and it demonstrates knowledge of the python standard library!
EDIT: Whoops, seems the idea of using the sum() function (or operator) has been dismissed elsewhere. Time to study some more languages, I think.
I wonder what voting systems would have looked like, had electronic systems been around at the time of (public) democracy's inception.
