A Hack A Day
Hardwyred writes "Another webpage for the DIY minded has popped up, Hack A Day promises '...a fresh hack each day, every day from around the web and a special how-to hack each week.' Just a few days worth of content up so far, but shows a lot of promise."
This look like it's going to be a great website - worth bookmarking. I read the section on making a lava lamp and was impressed with the detail and the writing. I am looking forward to their daily hacks.

I've always been a fan of capital letters -- especially when trying to read an entire paragraph of text. Looks wonderfully professional, huh?
... I expected a site showing screenshots of some poor sucker's hacked web pages, with a new poor sucker each day ;)
...does a hack a day keep the DMCA away?
Misunderstood "Hack A Day". I was hoping to find out a way to make time itself run Linux.
Oh, come on, groaning is a type of laughing.
They have good ideas, but is there any way to submit an idea for other people to do, if you're not so mechanically oriented? (I soldered my screwdriver to a case once) It looks like you have to do everything yourself for any submissions =/
got sig?
I gotta make myself one of those bottle cap tri-pods. I am glad they warned me about the potential for poisoning I might have actually made it before drinking the pop and refilling it with water.
I get in like 8-12 hacks a day, usually in the morning, right before my first cigarette.
this isn't a sig. i type this (including the two dashes), every time i post, just to make it look like a sig.
Jesus Christ, Slashdot is like the Engadget-Repost-Site. Like every 3rd article is from Engadget and now they're making articles about Engadgets new sub-sites.
I'm Rick James with mod points biatch!
Whoo hooo now I can build my own lava lamp and its all thank to Hack A Day.

I suspect tomorrow's hack will be "how to keep your server running during a slashdot"
People nothing to see here, keep surfing. >;-)
Any hints on how to hack the model D83 Swedish sure-grip suck machine yet? /naked gun 2 1/2
I like big butts and I cannot lie.
Let's see... hackaday simply links to other peoples' sites, especially engadget.com. Phillip Torrone also runs flashenabled.com, which lists pretty much the same items also by referencing engadget.com. And now Slashdot routinely shills for engadget and engadget's own shills-within-shills. As though there aren't enough bloggers out there already regurgitating n-th hand news of dubious utility.
It's interesting, however I couldn't help but notice that all links were external, so it seems more of a collection of previous ones, without new ones.
While making a new one a day would be challanging, some unique ones would make the site stand out from the ones it links to.
He has an entry pointing to the retarded 'external battery for your iPod in a playing card box' that was reported here on slashdot. Nah, find it yourself, I'm not THAT informative.
If he doesn't realize that thing will get you a pocketfull of hot acid, he needs to review what a good hack is.
The latest Slashdot meme.
This site makes me miss alt.hackers. :(
Poor upstart site, just getting on its feet, and you /. it already? For shame!
Information wants to be anthropomorphized!

While this is a cool site, it's not like they are writing these articles. It'a a nicely themed blog, but if you ask me proper blogging etiquette would demand more visible recognition of the sites featuring the actual content.
Just my 2 cents, anyway.

So that's how you steal a car! I have the half a tennis ball thing down pat, I just needed a bic pen. That BMW is all mine! Thank you /.ers. Write me in prison, won't you?

You know these navigation systems that come in most newer/expensive cars that have a little gps system and map and talks to you (turn left....here).
I'd love to hack one of those and add "bitch" to everything. as in...
"Merge onto...freeway....bitch"
This sig contains repetition and redundancy.

Wow, this thread just had me laughing my ass off for a minute. The fact that every post in this thread is modded -1 kinda adds to it too I think. Oh /. will your crazy antics never stop? I guess im losing some points then to but WTF. Against me better judgement I must contribute. But come on, what would /. be without trolls?
Freaking nothing thats what it would be. I own all you little naughty headed beeyotches. I am 31337 and your "In other words he fails" what man? what kinda stupid BS is that . If I posted that I'd stay anonymous too. He didn't fail it you failed it, got it? No? ok I'll make it clear then, If Bill Gates wanted to go to Burgerking then why not just get big boy. Especially when neither one of them runs linux yet without onions.
Well anyways, remember to have your pets spaid and neutered.
I, for one, think all your troll specs are belong to us!

People will pass up steak once a week, for crap every day.
I loved it! I already have that linux version running...should I throw down some coin for os x? Will that make Gates pop a vein in his forehead?
You mean like all the article links on Slashdot?
I agree! There is no need for Slashdot to link to Engadget anymore. I've already found out about Engadget, and seeing they're not overloaded with childish comments about payolas, I already visit them a lot more often than slashdot.
If I failed, I was successful.
It was a catastrophic success?
That is one of the coolest sites I have ever seen. It's prety much just a LinkBlog, but still. I would have never found out about osX on the Xbox if not for that site.
