Eat clean non/less pesticide non genetic experiment (local farm) food. Shit-can the cellphone, the wifi, and the microwave. And don't take anything a doctor would proscribe. More living braincells == smarter.

Results returned from whois.publicinterestregistry.net: " If anyone's dns people were going to be threatened, it would be their's. Wonder if you can reserve your own name at other company's so if it is revoked or expires, it is automatically registered to you at a different place.

Until I can install GNU on it, it's not mine. Why would I want to pay for something which isn't mine?
Re:Post your ideas to increase the quality of YC News on Monday March 31, 2008 @12:50PM (#151201)
I left Reddit for the same reason I left Digg. Both have dishonest voting engines. Recently, Reddit was caught making comments only show up for the poster, nobody else. http://reddit.com/info/6drwl/comments/ Reddit also will blacklist your name such as the submitter of the above article, and then all submissions (not comments) points are reset to 0 every minute or so.

Ideas: I want downmod buttons because people post (and up) too much non-news. I think there should be points and total vote count. Then there can be a contrivercial page (ranked by points+total votes){or something like it.} Also there should be a "safe" non-contravercial page, a "worst" page, and a "zero gravity zone" where old good posts dominate.

Don't mean to be pushy just ideas.
