try Incosolata at 18pt, it's gorgeous, and you can read it from a full arms-length away (how far from the screen you're supposed to be)

i've found that black text on a white background is much easier on my eyes than the opposite, at least on the newer, brighter LED LCDs, especially the glossy ones like what ship on current macbooks.

I love how this is entirely against Vimeo's TOS: http://vimeo.com/forums/topic:11585
except for the special cases they make.

from talking to Giles (I work with him), I think his problem with hacker news is that it's basically turning into another digg/reddit/slashdot type of thing. It's basically a pool of links outlining what's popular with whoever the users of the site are at the moment, and that group of people is likely to change over time.
I think what would work better is a pool of links that shows you stuff you might find interesting based on past usage (voting up/down, friending others, etc). Don't show me what's interesting to everybody who reads the site, show me what's interesting to _me_. As Giles has said in the past, I have a need for better filtering mechanisms.
