$25 for a shirt I could print at Zazzle for less?

No thanks.

Does anyone know of that Adobe post and JS script to equalize the line length of text for aesthetic purposes? I remember if one line was full div width and the next line was only a couple words, it would insert line breaks to try to make both lines closer in width to one another.

Why is this HN material? It looks like thinly-veiled product placement advertising.

I can see your comment.

Thanks for sharing your findings on downloading things from YouTube.

I tried writing a script to download videos with specific tags and convert them to MP3s a few months ago and found getting the videos off YouTube was the hardest part by far.

I think my favorite example of "useful information now" is Google Now.

I love how when I search for a place on Google Maps, my phone or tablet assumes I want to go there soon and gives me a driving time estimate and an option to start navigation.

I also find it very useful when my web searches and linked accounts are taken in context: searching for a flight brings up the flight details on the day of the flight, and Google Now automatically pulls up my daily upcoming events so I don't forget.

Take it easy with the tone. No need to be confrontational.

Link me to some peer-reviewed studies that show that cancer can be cured with only dietary changes.

Features like having a nice UI and providing good tablet support?

It's quick and dirty and has no error catching, but it kind of does the job. Let me know what you think!
Re:HN top bar is in red on Tuesday December 25, 2012 @05:30AM (#4965713)
Could you help me figure out how to change my top bar color? I can't seem to find the option.
Will there ever be a 32-bit version?
Re:Ask HN: How should I start on a social campus food website? on Tuesday September 14, 2010 @01:10PM (#1691308)
The big things I want this to do that Urbanspoon doesn't would be to rate dining halls in addition to restaurants and to find very specific walking distances from certain residence halls on campus. I am kind of basing my idea on Urbanspoon, but with more of an individual college focus.

I'll take a look at campusfood, thanks!

Ask HN: How should I start on a social campus food website?

I want to start working on an idea I've had for a while now. It's a social food website like Urbanspoon, but based around a university setting - focusing more on walking distance and specific location, and including ratings for, say, dining halls on campus.I don't know where to begin with this. I have a list of features and ideas laid out, am working on designing the basic site layout on paper,...

The article didn't really clarify well what is wrong with ePub.

How does Windows 7 do it, then? I know W7 detects a login portal page too.

Thank you, panda. That was the joke.
Re:Ask HN: which ebook reader to buy? on Sunday August 29, 2010 @12:23AM (#1643127)
Nook is rootable because it uses Android, which lets it read RSS feeds and such via Trook.

And ePub is a big deal if you plan to get books anywhere but the B&N/Amazon bookstores.

Color touchscreen is also nice.

I'd be interested if he had given me a reading from the book. I don't understand exactly what he's selling me - a cool version of a Dummies book, perhaps?
Re:EVE player destroys over $1000 worth of game time on Monday August 09, 2010 @06:45AM (#1587570)
He didn't even use a Tech 2 frigate, meaning (IMO) he was going for a super low-tech ship hoping nobody would notice.

Make more food. Leftovers!

Every time I make pasta, I boil the entire box and make too much sauce so I can eat later.

Ask HN: How does WEP cracking work?

I downloaded the BackTrack 4 LiveCD and ran it on my own router using the instructions in a couple Youtube videos and online guides.I understand the basic principles: * find interface and AP info * dump all packets sniffed from target AP * run fake authentication attack * use ARP request replay to generate IVs for cracking * crack collected packets once you have enoughI understand HOW to do it,...
