Great job, Joel. Now get to work on these variations:

SnackOverload - StackOverflow for people who like snacks

CrackedTwoByFour - StackOverflow for people who need refunds for defective building materials

CrackFoSomeHos - StackOverflow for crack whores

StackCoverFlow - this is still StackOverflow, but with a CoverFlow UI

Don't forget MyFaultYourFault - an arbitration/dispute resolution service.

This could actually be wildly successful in the startup community, if not for the tiny little fact that most significant disputes don't occur between peers or equals, but rather between sheep (startups) and wolves (BigCo). And any situation in which the sheep are put into the position of negotiating with wolves does not lead to good outcomes, as a surgeon pointed out (http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/06/01/090601fa_fact_...).

"Great job, Joel."

Joel does 0.1% of the work on StackOverflow and ServerFault. Give Jeff some credit.
