I love the idea, well done guys!

A friend mentioned he's unable to upload artwork from Safari 4 on a mac, if you'd like to double check that. (it worked in firefox on the mac).

Also, $60USD shipping to Australia for a $40USD product? is that correct?

The full report for the Live Pilot is here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/24108352/ISP-Filtering-Live-Pilot-...

The report claims no degredation of speed, however it says that about 1 in 30 legitimate sites will be blocked.

I made that exact comment to them at the time, they claimed it wasn't fraud.

At the company I worked at a sprinkler system failed on top of 2 racks of servers about a year ago, they were drenched. We dried them out, insurance was called, we got paid whatever they were insured for.

Finally, a time to upgrade this mass of beige boxes and randomly built servers.. or so I thought.

Instead, the insurance money was put towards paying salaries.. the servers that got flooded are still in production a year later.. and 30 of us were laid off.

The page with the google header is what I saw 2 days ago.

6 years until hoverboards are mainstream.. I'd say we're right on target.

I've lived here all my live and never really noticed that.. you're absolutely correct however. Harvey Norman, David Jones, Grace Brothers, Joyce Mayne, Crazy Teds..

Great idea, though I'm wondering if they're offering them in PDF format what's stopping students from paying $1 each and sharing them around?

Like other things, you get used to it. It's probably more comfortable, and for a new rider it can be difficult to get your head around 'gripping harder will probably make you go faster, not slow you down'. Shifting in your seat/going over a bump shouldn't really affect it though, can't say I've ever noticed it happen while riding.

And even that was ripped off from tshirthell: http://www.tshirthell.com/hello.php

Almost every single car in Australia (besides exotic/rarer european imports) has it on the right. From personal experience, my father had a ferrari which had it on the left, my brother had a Smart car which had it on the left, but everything else I've driven (20+ cars) had it on the right (all right hand drive cars).

So anyone with a shovel is a hacker?

Just from a first view of the site, I'd check the kerning on your business name. It can easily come across as 'Sig n in St yle'.

You have some great suggestions there, I would love to hear more (simpler ones if you have any, for a person just starting out with web technologies).

I wouldn't mind something simple to start on either. I lost my job a few months ago and I've been working on my objective C skills with a few iPhone applications but nothing that will really fall under the 'solve a problem / find something people need' definition HNers have for a successful startup idea.

I run my mail locally and use gmail as the backup.. hopefully losing a Google account and a disk failure wouldn't happen at the same time.

Why awk instead of cut?

47 now ;)

200 doesn't seem too difficult, it just appeared strange that when I finally got there it disappeared 2 days later.

Comments, can anyone downvote topics? I didn't know that was even possible.

Thanks for that.

Thanks. Was just wondering if it was something I did wrong. If the threshold changed that's fine. :)

That isn't very helpful either, I'm not in the US.

Why should some guy with a blog be trying to get us to use what they like? What happened to letting the consumer decide on their own?

I'm currently in my final 30 days of my development license contract and I'm still wondering if I should renew. I haven't had the problems a lot of people are complaining about (my apps have been accepted or rejected with a valid reason which I fixed easily).

It's been a fun year learning the cocoa language and getting applications out there that lots of people find useful (my most popular app was #1 on the free app store for a week within a week of it going online).

I'm just unsure if I should continue. I'm working on a game, but it's hard to find motivation to continue when there's so many others out there getting rejected with no reason after all their hard work. I'm still in the "it hasn't happened to me so who cares?" camp, but I could easily get burnt after spending 3 months of spare time developing.

There's a different kind of registration for that I believe, I have a standard developer program license ($99USD/year), there's another "enterprise program" which I think can do 500: http://developer.apple.com/iPhone/program/apply.html

You compile your apps against different profiles depending on what you want to. Generally for:

1) Debugging your own app (works only on your own phone)

2) Distribution : http://imgur.com/PFYnK.png

i) Ad-hoc, limited to 100 devices: http://imgur.com/HjwnN.png

ii) For the app store

So yeah, you can compile it for 100 friends if you have their iPhone/iPod UUID, but you can't make it freely available for everyone.

From a developer point of view, you're able to compile your own applications for up to 100 devices (as long as you have the device unique identifier (UUID) for each of them). There's no easy way to do this for the public however.

What topic of discussion are you after? It could help people point you in the right direction. It's probably spread out amongst various forums and blogs these days. Personally, besides the obvious trolling from some parts of the forum, the Something Awful forums have some excellent discussions on certain topics ranging from DIY hobbies to serious hardware/software/programming subforums.
