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."
They get sued by some random idiots who think THEY'RE the targets.
Hack number one, wait until after a presidential debate before trying for first post.

your $699 fee you tea smoking cock baggers!
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?
fp?
fp.
... 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.
of course you get the troll
but its been months since you have called me a cock smoking tea bagger, or in this case, the more creative tea smoking cock bagger. kudos.
fp, steven king is dead at 54, steven hawking wins NASCAR, GNAA rul3z, and in soviet russia, natalie portman pours a beowulf cluster of hot grits down your petrified pants. and step 3 is profit.
does that cover all your trolling specs?
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.
It's going to get modded down, but that is some slashdot humor if I've ever seen it.
Here's How:
1) Include summary with either the uber-geek 'DIY' or the more more linuxesian 'how-to' in the text.
2) Make sure that summary implies the site is undeniably about 'hacking'. So much so, that no RTFAing would be required of the editor.
3) Make sure the editor is Michael.
voila!
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"
For the love of god,allah,and Bush will people please quit putting up "beta" websites.
WaRez Th3 l337 HaX0rS!??

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.
I thought it said a Jack a day. As President Bush said tonight: "Need some wood?"
Anyway, I think a Jack a day is a fine thing. Keeps the old prostate healthy.
Fascism trolls keeping me up every night. When I starts a preachin', he HITS ME WITH HIS REICH!
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. :(
Can't we have ONE article that's not about how shitty Windows is?
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.

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.
