waratumanon How to make PCBs at home in 1 hour without special materials

This is amazing, wish I would have know how to do this before I made my microcomputer board. I ordered mine from 4pcb.com, but making it yourself is pretty sweet. Whenever I do something myself, it adds a lot of extra meaning to what I did.

waratumanon Ask HN: Free accounts for students?

I would like to have a free account, but I don't think that a free account should be given out to students. I understand give private accounts to instructors, however, $7 a month is very little and think that most students could come up with the money. I truly enjoy using github, and think that $7 or $12 per month is a great value.

If the account were to be free I think that there should be a timeframe for which the account should be free (for 2 - 4 years). After that the user is given the option to continue or drop the account.
