It works surprisingly well! It also includes an option to rate the results at the bottom of the search results.

The UI looks great! I really like how simple it is to get around and how you're notified when something is going on.

My report was a little slow and it let me know I could come back to it at any time. (it wasn't obvious at first)

I set the account up for my wife's retail site online and the reports look pretty close to what we document now.

I think I'd have trouble explaining how to use the Darwin tool. Maybe have some more information on how to set that up for people who are a little less technical?

Virtual Bank Account numbers so you don't have to update every bill pay/direct deposit when you change banks. Also allows you to add multiple bank accounts behind it.

Paypal needs this.

Enough with the stupid release names

I agree with you that the best presenters probably don't use handouts or powerpoint but maybe it's because they're gifted speakers. I think it's hard for most people to carry an audience without any supporting material. A few slides won't hurt if you're engaging and have information that adds value to your presentation.

I'm not trying to be the dumbass comment but this better make its way to a celebrity phone somewhere. SOMETHING of real value has to come of this... obviously, other than a more secure SMS infrastructure.

These headlines will typically turn into a cheercamp and I was just pointing that out. I probably worded it poorly but let's not applaud or boo at all.

It would be impossible to fine each individual the price of a few albums. They have to grab headlines with a huge figure and hope that it scares enough people away. It's a battle for headlines, they're not actually expecting to see that money.

I think it's pretty obvious why the little guy story is more popular but i think both stories are pretty much the same.

Numbers aside, putting a significant fine on a company that's breaking the law is no different than a fine on an individual. It's meant to make an example out of them to discourage similar behavior in the future... no?

This is funny. There's going to be a huge applause for this post but whenever there's an article about an individual being prosecuted for piracy... it's the evil RIAA.

Edit: I'm not trying to turn this into a a piracy argument but I do think there's a double standard there.

It's probably pretty difficult to filter but there were some serious NSFW pics coming across my screen there. Just a heads up for anyone else who's still at their office.

Were popular names awarded randomly? I went for my name within seconds and it was already taken. It seems like they would just take all requests and randomize for a winner...

Why wasn't blackberry included?

Thanks for saving me the time. I wish HN's RSS feed would drop you in the comments for the post instead of sending you directly to the link. Newmogul.com does this and I think it's a better way to serve the feed.

I went to a public school that had a programming track like Spencer but we started at BASIC and ended in an "advanced" C++ class.

I jokingly referred to our classes as learning "skills" since we lived so close to the poverty line. We had well taught and well funded tracks in dry cleaning, construction, cosmetology etc. I joke but they provided job placement and it probably gave many people a decent living.

I also remember how great it was have an army recruitment office inside the school.

I've never seen them have this many issues before... what's going on over there?

They had the problem with the malicious site tags a few weeks and now this. These are major outages... what's changed?

This HN improvement shit is getting out of hand.

This sounds useful but I don't like the fact that it's named "pv". I've always associated "pv" with physical volume and lvm... might be a little confusing.

They could issue a restraining order but he chose not to do that because it would give the guy specifics about the places he regularly visits and where he lives.

If you practiced basketball for 10,000 hours then you would be fucking awesome, regardless of having a contract.

The right things don't exist... or have we already forgotten the whole "do what you love" concept?

I didn't read the piece but your comment really made me laugh... thanks for that!

I actually wasn't impressed at all because I don't think we can ever know if she questioned him or gave him a hard time.

It could have been an unbelievably painful number of years for both of them and she could have given up on him years before but was stuck supporting him. It doesn't sound as nice but it is probably closer to reality...

If you're interested in starting a lifting program I would recommend "Starting Strength" by Mark Rippetoe.

http://www.amazon.com/Starting-Strength-2nd-Mark-Rippetoe/dp...

It includes a good starting program for beginners which is built around the deadlift, squat and bench press.

I wish I didn't have to register to vote for a picture... i was about to vote for deep fried candy bars on "absurd"

A software engineers sexuality should have nothing to do with his/her work. It's like google asking people to vote for obama because they want to attract and keep black engineers. Bullshit, that's right.

it's probably because of the size of the company and what they're risking by having an opinion on this non-business issue.

it's especially helpful if you're a boxing fan like i am ;-)...

I saw a chipin.com widget on there during the last event... to help cover the cost of the broadcast(50$).

Worked out pretty well...

Before opening this I thought this came from someone that sold their company...

What's tough about it is that he was 14 and it was the 80's... way before it was popular to take pot shots at PHP.
