I tried an alphanumeric of the same length (15 characters) and it worked. So i doubt it's a length issue.

another way that works out of the box is to use a text-only browser like w3m :)
n2j3··on Show HN: Postman – A command-line utility for batch-sending email
slight variations of what has mostly been said: ilpostino, mailman (there is GNU Mailman though..), postmen, postmann !
n2j3··on Previously Unknown Warhol Works Discovered on Floppy Disks from 1985
Sad to see Warhol being too full of himself; his alleged first foray in digital art includes numerous attempts at signing his work using a pointing device. Pop art you say?

The only person I recall talking to their watch (and I'm probably showing my age here) is David Hasselhoff as The Knight Rider[1]

n2j3··on De La Soul to Make Entire Catalog Available for Free
So who's gonna be the one to tell De La Soul of the BitTorrent file distribution system?
n2j3··on Sony in talks to sell loss-making Vaio PC business
Retracting the above comment, considering 5k people are getting laid off...
n2j3··on IRC Networks Under Systematic Attack From Governments
I don't really understand the point of bringing age into their argument ("overly eager teenagers"), but I tend to agree that DDoSing IRC servers is the lowest form of low. Let us idle in peace!
n2j3··on Sony in talks to sell loss-making Vaio PC business
Will they also be selling the bucketloads of Vaio bloatware they force down your throat? Good riddance.
n2j3··on The Rise and Rise of Television Torture
Considering the effectiveness of torturing (and whether "they" lie about it) kind of blunts the argument against torture tout court. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed the article.

Ur welcom
n2j3··on Show HN: Socket.im - Share Your Sh*ts Immediately
Looks good and works as advertised! Waiting for SSL.

n2j3··on Show HN: Increase your productivity with ambient noise
beautiful! but how does it work? can we look at the source without decompilation?
n2j3··on Flash vs HTML - Waste Invaders
Tested on macmini 2009 (or 2006? the one without hdmi anyway , 2GB ram, Core2 T7200@2.00GHz, Intel 945GM onboard GPU >_< etc) running Debian wheezy and compton. Surprisingly html5 was the smoothest of the two, but with no sound. Conversely, sound was crisp but the game itself seriously 'choppier' (with regards to FPS) in Flash 11.2.202.258 .

Browser in use: Chromium 24.0.1312.68

Not sure if the compositor (compton) is responsible for the lag or something else entirely. I don't really have the time to test any further :S

n2j3··on Show HN: ApplPi, a stochastic noise machine
beautiful!

n2j3··on Harlem Shake JavaScriptifed
I think Charlie Brooker's crew nailed it on last night's episode.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSRXb2SesfE
n2j3··on Show HN: Skype calling sucks, so we made this to talk with our offshore team
This works like magic. Wonder if there's a hidden cost or something. Too good to be true (Just phoned my sis in the UK and me mom on a greek cellphone!)
n2j3··on E-Ink Android phone promises a week long battery life
As an owner of the Motorola F3 I can tell you that it suffers from severe battery drain. Doesn't make any sense, but there you have it.
