shadowpwner··on Show HN: Our first startup attempt: blogging without a blog
What's the incentive for people to contribute? It seems that it'll quickly turn into something like Associated Content.
shadowpwner··on Tell HN: Google Search With "site:News.YCombinator.com" Is Your Friend
This is OT, but does anyone know the link to the blog posts about reviewing computer science? I've used google and searchyc without any luck.
shadowpwner··on Move beyond behavioral targeting: using mouse movements to read visitor’s mind
Wow, I missed that completely. Tags: april fool joke, behavioral targeting, joke, lol, sophisticated
shadowpwner··on Fired employee wipes out whole season of TV show
Interesting how this happens on the same day of World Backup day. (http://blog.reddit.com/2011/03/better-have-backup-plan-world...)

The ten test subjects is hardly a representative sample.
shadowpwner··on Amazon on Cloud Player: we don't need no stinkin' licenses
Wow, that's a really profound statement for me. Mind blown, thanks to you, dear sir.
shadowpwner··on Patio11 says Hello Ladies
Random, but is the intro from the "Stuff You Should Know" podcast?
shadowpwner··on How to Ace Calculus: The Art of Doing Well in Technical Courses
I found it odd too, I assumed it was used humorously.
shadowpwner··on Google Relaunches Street View Website
What's interesting is how Microsoft had "Street view"-esque technology, except they made further innovations to allow not only a straight path, but a 360 walk around view. It was released to the public in 2008, its a shame they didn't attempt to pursue it more in their maps. http://photosynth.net if anyone's interested. (look for the photosynth ones, not the panoramas. A good example is http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=51b68423-ce72-4373-885f-...)
shadowpwner··on Why I am not worried about Japan’s nuclear reactors
Yes, but major development is still needed to make such reactors safe and viable.

> Wrong type of power.

I don't think you explained this. It seems as though you're just arguing about the cost of batteries, not a certain "type" of power. (what types of power are there, anyways? I only know of one: electricity. There are many different ways to generate it though..)

shadowpwner··on First dump of Anon BofA Documents is up
I know, but if they were linked to anonymous, wouldn't they want anonymity?
shadowpwner··on Turn your earbuds into speakers
These look amazing, but they're just parabolic plastic, with presumably less-than-nice sound quality.
shadowpwner··on First dump of Anon BofA Documents is up
See the reddit link up above. I don't see anything wrong with the email nope@gmail.com.
shadowpwner··on Ask HN: What are your best life hacks?
Hardly, but without some background or sources I'd say a majority of people wouldn't know where you're coming from.
shadowpwner··on Tell HN: We have had our 100 thousandth bookmark and wanted to tell you about it
> Firefox 4 without loosing Tags

It's right there. Also most people look down on url shortners, because it's a great way to hide spam.

shadowpwner··on $150 Later Using MyLikes.com Social Ad Platform.
Personally, I wouldn't buy your product based on your ad because it looks like your product is a flimsy plastic sheet someone can make by unwrapping a plastic bag.

I remember reading about this on Reddit, how were sales there? Also, have you considered targetting your product to people like college students, or designers, etc?

shadowpwner··on Adobe releases Flash to HTML5 converter
Wow.. I wonder what extent the animations stay the same after the conversion. Can anyone throw up a before and after?
shadowpwner··on Plugin/Website suggestion for HN
No it won't, but its just a quick hack.
shadowpwner··on Anyone notice the changes to the Google logo?
I probably should have explained it. The newer logo is a little darker, more pronounced bevel, and darker/less spread out shadow.
shadowpwner··on Plugin/Website suggestion for HN
This can be done really easily in userscripts (accepted in Chrome too).

Actual coding left as an exercise to the reader.

Oh, the power and beauty of the pentatonic scale.

His website works for me.

Yes please.

It's beautiful.
shadowpwner··on Beautiful Time-Lapse of Milky Way over Lake Tahoe
Thanks for the clarification, not too sure why you were downvoted.
shadowpwner··on Beautiful Time-Lapse of Milky Way over Lake Tahoe
This is beautiful, and I'm a photography buff, but how does this have anything to do with startups or hacking?
shadowpwner··on Everything that can go wrong with Windows Phone 7 update does
I don't know if you're trolling, but Xboxes are one of the top selling consoles. See http://www.kokeytechnology.com/gadgets/xbox-360/xbox-360-vs-... for a random example.
