quellhorst··on Reversing the Decline in Big Ideas
Instead of selling RentATrashCan.com you should just let that one expire. I found many of the domains I owned were not even worth the annual registration fee.
quellhorst··on Google Fiber Plans & Pricing
Meanwhile Verizon FIOS (fiber) is available in hundreds of cities. http://www.consumerfiber.com/fios-availability
quellhorst··on Zerigo DNS services down for 6+ hours due to massive DDoS
Maybe you should check if your own services are up next time you spam them in a thread where your competitors are down.
quellhorst··on How we chose and furnished an office the Y Combinator way
Ikea desks are not too expensive and will have a higher resell value than your door desks when your company goes under from spending too much time making desks.
quellhorst··on Don't Waste a Single Moment
The iphone virtual keyboard has a button for '.com' that is much easier than typing .ly
quellhorst··on I'm a former Miso engineer and the founders screwed me out of 10k
"Fuck you. Pay Me." comes to my mind after reading this. http://vimeo.com/22053820 [Video]
quellhorst··on Apple has been focusing on the wrong problems with the iPad3
I got rid of my iPad 2 because the screen sucked compared to the iPhone retina display. I purchased and kept the new Ipad because of the improved screen. My only complaint is it takes a long time to recharge but at least it has a really long battery life.
quellhorst··on The Girls Around Me App Takes Creepy to a New Level
The female version of this app would be the sugar daddy locator app. Where annual income is tied to Foursquare checkins.
quellhorst··on The Girls Around Me App Takes Creepy to a New Level
That is because hot girls are constantly hit on by guys.
quellhorst··on Great, Another Bootstrap Site
Great, another person bitching about seeing bootstrap sites...

I love the look of bootstrap sites. Having identical looking sites beats the shitty design most of these sites would have had before bootstrap.

quellhorst··on Kim Dotcom’s first TV interview: ‘I’m no piracy king’
Some megaupload stats from the video: 1.5 terabits of data transfer and 800 downloads completed per second. If my math is correct: 493 petabytes data transfer per month with an average download size around 237 megabytes.
quellhorst··on AT&T Throttling Unlimited Plans after 2GB Data Use
I also have a grandfathered at&t unlimited plan and would be willing to join a class action lawsuit.
quellhorst··on GoDaddy loses 72,354 domains this week alone
Maybe we'll stop seeing super bowl ads from these guys if people keep pulling their domains.

I am happy to say I moved my domains away from them 2 years ago.

quellhorst··on Poll: Did you transfer your domains from GoDaddy today?
No, I transferred them away years ago.
quellhorst··on How to stop SOPA: Don't build it.
If Americans don't build it, they'll find some coders in India to do it
quellhorst··on TextMate 2
Download link: http://www.multiupload.com/VA06QA4MI0 Requires a Textmate 1.0 serial to use.
quellhorst··on Stop Telling Women To Do Startups
I'm tired of the articles on HN telling me what to do.
quellhorst··on The PC is dead. Why no angry nerds?
PCs are trucks for getting serious work done.
quellhorst··on SublimeVideo HTML5 Video Player Now Free & Unlimited, Real-Time Stats & More
Is there something like this where I could just use amazon s3 and cloudfront for hosting the videos?
quellhorst··on Giving the F.B.I. What It Wants
I think this guy should have just kept quiet. There is something called the right to remain silent. The more you talk the more they want.
quellhorst··on Maxing out your Dropbox referrals (how I got 16GB for less than $10)
http://db.tt/42zUSRvh Thanks!
quellhorst··on iPhone 4S Pre-Orders Top One Million in First 24 Hours
Sure it is, its the same phone, but different model years.
quellhorst··on Why FSF Founder Richard Stallman is Wrong on Steve Jobs
I don't pay attention to people like RMS who eat stuff off their feet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v...
quellhorst··on Time-zone database used by Unix shut down due to IP litigation
If this continues, we'll need a pirate bay for open source.
quellhorst··on Hey Google, I want my cache links back
This is Google being dumbed down for the average user.
quellhorst··on Most Pressed Keys and Programming Syntaxes
I photoshopped this really quick for to compare ruby on Dvorak and Qwerty. https://img.skitch.com/20110908-q24qths9k4u6438wpd989qreci.j...
quellhorst··on Most Pressed Keys and Programming Syntaxes
Would like to see a Dvorak version of this.
quellhorst··on If TV Companies Released Authorized Torrents With Ads, Would You Download Them?
Torrent isn't needed for authorized content. Ads can be updated and targeted without torrents.
quellhorst··on Just the Facts: S&P's $2 Trillion Mistake
You could add in 8.5% for sales taxes. There are also other 'hidden' taxes like gas and property taxes.
quellhorst··on If Bitcoin Community Doesn’t Take Action, Trademark Lawyer Could “Box Them In”
I have heard some people talking about an assassination market with bitcoins being used for payment. If some lawyer threatened bitcoin it wouldn't be surprising to see his name pop up on such a site.

The bitcoin speculators I have seen are anti-government or anarchist types that hoard guns, gold and bitcoins.
