Some of the programs that it said that were supposed to be installed were not. Very little documentation exists to get familiar with that distribution.

Thanks for the tip! I guess covering my tracks with a fire isn't a good option.

While I use backtrack frequently I found the pwnipi distribution to be lacking in many things and actually ditched it to complete this project. Perhaps I'll revisit that distro again when it becomes better.

From the mega website "Mega are looking for investors". Can someone explain why they'd do that? Kim has more than enough money to cover all of the costs of this site yet he'd rather get investors? I never understood when to use my own money or raise money for my startup.

Which also looks very similar to http://mind42.com

Netherland - I installed this and gave it a try. I'm running into one major issue. I can't see my prompt (or the last line in whatever I'm doing). I don't mess around and invoke grc by doing 'grc bash'. This now listens for every command that's in the config file. Well the command I want to work most of all is ssh. When I ssh into another system I don't see my prompt. Any ideas what I can do to fix this?

Argh! As a security network engineer I was really hoping the future of self service banking would have more emphasis on security.

Can someone say a little more about how twitter f's over the developer community? I was under the impression that facebook rejoices the developer community, with their love for open source.

See it makes perfect sense to me if I spend large amounts of my own money and time to do something on my own equipment and time that I should be given the right to my own inventions and ideas.

Although I love the effort put forth by MS for even thinking about HTML5 but the webpage is silly. Firstly, why are they even testing other browsers. Should I thank MS for testing out everyone else? Secondly, as mentioned already, someone should send them a memo on <canvas>. Lastly, the first thing I saw was that border radius with dotted style is not supported in chrome so I tested it and it works flawlessly. This was the first and only test I conducted from their data and it was enough for me to dismiss this article.

uhh, someone care to tell me the diff between 15. take more photos and 99. take more pictures?

also doesn't anyone find it ironic that people wan to write books more than they want to read more books?

ok first of all 100 is a LOT. that will take you 4 years if you really work hard at reading all of those.

second, why isn't 4 steps to the epiphany on there?

Hey, how do you know this was YC S06? Can you show me the list of YC companies?

this is why i use http://prq.se for hosting

i just did my taxes and theres no way i would punish myself that much to go through with high frequency trading

how does x.org and x.com have 1 letter domains but b.org and z.org etc are unavailable domains?

Why not just use http://www.ixquick.com/ and be done with it?

oh and I forgot one last thing. I really thought the music and sound effects was refreshing and great. also my favorite was the yellow hat, i liked both its musical graphics and the sound it made when you shoot it. i think i only had to use it on 1 level though

I started to play this game at work and instantly knew I wanted to beat it and play it all the way through. It had a great look and feel to it.

Since I did get to the victory screen I thought I'd share my comments with you. In fact this if the first time I've ever commented on YC/news and had to register just to do it.

1. I really wanted a way to go directly to the hat I wanted to use instead of cycle through them. Pressing 1 for blue, 2 for bunny etc would have made it a lot less frustrating.

2. The green hat totally confused my jumping finger. I'd put on green, jump high, switch to bunny, try to use the same button to jump with but nothing happened.

3. I had absolutely no problem figuring out what the goal was, how to use the blue hat, how to pass the first level, how to enter doors etc. I don't come from a long background of video game players. I was told by you that x and c are the controls and bam with a little playin around I learned what to do.

4. I really liked the simplicity. It looked 8 bit but we know flash isn't 8 bit. Why did you choose those graphics as opposed to a more smooth sprite?

5. I never got used to the zxc controls. I am right handed and all but for some reason my fingers kept getting it mixed up. When doing harder moves like jumping high and shooting I'd have to think it through first "ok i have to push c,z,z,z,c" and I'd still screw it up. I'd hit z 4 times instead of 3.

6. The only levels worth playing were the last 2. I almost gave up on the last level though. Had to go eat a cookie and think about it, and come back. I died at every single obstacle at least once trying the last level.

7. The second to last level was my absolute favorite. This is where you first have to shoot a guy have him die on spikes, jump over spikes, and repeat. The last jump to the exit took me forever and I planned a lot of different methods to finally get it. The reason why I liked it was because it seemed very hard to me yet I saw the door right there and knew the level was short. I had victory taste in my mouth every time I made that jump but something would always go wrong.

8. I enjoyed the early levels as a tutorial on how to use the hats but the replay value is not really there if I already know how to use the hats.

9. I really liked the lack of loading screens, lack of time it takes between death and startover, lack of frills. Just give me a game and you did!

I think if you like this game you'll probably another flash game called "Chronotron". Anyways I really enjoyed your game. I think you're doing great and thank you for sharing it!
