Arrington has a breaking story about Twitter planning to colonize Mars?

Actually, that would be Google and Virgin :)

Oh, I was under the impression no other company existed in his eyes ;)


It’s a powerful indicator that the product roadmap is overly focused on short-term user engagement versus a long-term market position.

What if "short-term user engagement" is their "long-term market position"?


pretty much everyone who has touched a computer is familiar with who Google is

And they'll also generally think you're somehow in charge of search and e-mail at Google. :)

Kind of like having been in the Air Force and everyone asking you what kind of jet you piloted.


Even the mobile cache ain't workin':

I get this funny message from Le Google:

Oops. Something didn't work quite right and we are unable to show the page you requested right now. Rest assured, Google engineers are already springing into action to solve the problem.


Does Yahoo! not have a robots.txt file?

http://yahoo.com/robots.txt Sorry, the page you requested was not found.


If that page doesn't exist, then according to specification, they don't and you can crawl any page.


Update: Some Yahoo! subdomains have 'em.

Yes:

    http://search.yahoo.com/robots.txt
    http://groups.yahoo.com/robots.txt
    http://realestate.yahoo.com/robots.txt
No:

    http://maps.yahoo.com/robots.txt
    http://omg.yahoo.com/robots.txt

“Who the FUCK are you? And why are you eating our pizza? We work for Limewire.”

“Oh ok. Well I work at a record label so fuck you. You’ve stolen from us enough.”

In Kosuke's and Paul's eyes, Limewire turned stolen music into pizza and proceded to call the pizza entirely theirs.

Is it not, in some way, ironic?


I'll take a stab at this.

Register: Username, Password, Hacker News Profile URL.

Click "forgot password" link.

Message: Modify your HN profile to include the phrase "RandomTextPleaseLetMeIn".

Click on "Verify me from HN".

The system lets you in. Now change your password.

Edit:

Instead of HN profile URL, you could also use Delicious ala 'save the following link with this tag "RandomFunk" to your Delicious profile'.

The goal is to prove to a website that has read-access something to which you have write-access.

This something is shared between you and the website before hand (at registration).


Thats called OpenID


I don't quite understand.

You have an OpenID. You've forgotten your password. How do you get back into your account without requesting an e-mail to reset it?

I know Hayward's pretty cheap although it's been awhile since I've lived there (mid/late nineties).
