    ... 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.

  4. Good Ideas by b0lt · · Score: 5, Funny

    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 =/

      Not so mechanically oriented? Sounds like you're more like "how the fuck did you do that"-prone.

    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.
  6. Blog shills by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Insightful

    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.

    Poor upstart site, just getting on its feet, and you /. it already? For shame!

  8. Didn't anyone notice? by Max+Romantschuk · · Score: 5, Insightful

    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.
