In the meantime, here is a couple of great places for tips on that: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/Xplore/login.jsp?url=http://ieeex... http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/tag/toaster/

if you want to control the utility down the road too ;-) http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=power-hacke...

ORIGINAL - probably misunderstood by the downvoters: But I surely hope he did grope her and he was indeed as abusive as she described him to be. Because if he didn't all this content we are creating will just serve to leave a very bad looking legacy of doubt around his character. I will therefore leave the thread hoping for him that he responds soon on http://flori.posterous.com/

funny I can see this looking right under the very paragraph above against the #FFFFFF background of the wikipedia page

I know this market well. if you want more ideas and suggestions for better name generation logic and dictionaries, give me a shout (rastaquere AATT gmail DOTT com). maybe we can work on something together.

I'd like them to concentrate on tech stuff more and this stuff less.

Even Robert Redford says it (not exactly a computer hacker ;-): http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/about.aspx?id=12440 "It was about: I was tired. I was 40 years old. I had a decade of hard work that took me very often away from my family, who mean a great deal to me. And I thought, "If you're not wise —“ It, it’s important sometimes to stop at the height of things and to re-, re-stock. Go back to zero. Take yourself back to zero. Sometimes you have to do that yourself and constantly — to be able to rejuvenate and keep going, you have to sometimes start all over again. And I felt it was the time for that. I'd been very rewarded in the business, done a lot of films, had just directed my first film, had had a tremendous reaction. I said, "You know, this is probably a good time to stop and step away for a while and, and reevaluate my life.”

Another issue with searching a large forum like HN though can be keeping the index up-to-date through crawling new posts constantly to add the terms they contain to the inverted index. However, you can usually build a simple script that adds news posts URLs to a list of priority crawl targets.

Free HTDig (http://www.htdig.org/) for instance could do the task pretty well and run on a budget hosting plan described above. It can index up to 100ks of documents easily and may require disk space upgrades for large sites but not much more.

There are many other inverted index search engines available and some now easily index without crawling through XML feeds from your CMS or forum software.

What I mean here is that maybe US forces need to learn to be a bit more unpredictable and attack Terrorism in a less frontal manner to succeed. Just like the IRA did in Ireland with the Brits. Imagine what kind of violence could come from Americans if they were greeted by foreign customs officers abroad with angry screams like: "So you believe in Jesus!?!?" for several hours in a room with a mirror.

As I said, point me to serious research that shows coffee and neural stimulants are just as harmless as each other and and I'll side with you. I don't have to provide you research that shows they are vastly different. It's just so freaking obvious.

I suggest you read this about Ritalin and you tell me if it reads like the description of coffee: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0000606 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylphenidate

Finally, I am very familiar with these medications since I took several neural agents as a younger guy when experiencing epilepsy. I am not against them, I am just surprised about so much talk of self-medication and I think it's plain wrong for people to think this harmless. But this is free world, so why don't you just ignore me and keep popping instead of getting all flustered about my comments, if you are sure of yourself that is.

I worked briefly in the pharmaceutical industry and it taught me a few things about the level of testing and knowledge labs have about the pills that you compare to coffee. There has been much more research about coffee (which I remind you I don't drink either because I know of its side-effects) than there has been about the neural enhancers you kids take. You want to believe it's OK. Go ahead but don't blame me for saying it makes no sense to me. And you are right, I am not willing to put much more time into going in details on this. Too busy and the topic is really so off the charts to me that I am pretty sure of myself here.

I have heard so much of the same non-sense pseudo-chemistry from all the people advocating for one drug or another for their wellbeing. The argumentative here really sound of addiction. So I challenge you to explain in bio-chemical terms why these drugs are as harmless as coffee. Good luck!

On the other hand, anyone who feels they need to downvote me because I expressed feeling felt a bit troubled by their revelations about the way they pop pills to improve their programming skills is maybe downvoting me to feel better about themselves, don't you think? I mean if YC's majority opinion is that pill popping is OK, AND/OR that anyone disagreeing should be downvoted, I think I want nothing to do with YC. I surely hope it's not the case. Now tke shots at my karma all you want!
