Just for one thing: evolution is not going to help YOU in this life. Intelligently designed software does.

HTML5 way smoother for me with Chrome unstable on Ubuntu.

Let's make getting out of debt cool and fun to do ;)
I think personally that the biggest part is education. Here in Brazil a lot of people would benefit from such a service as well. If you need help at some point internationalizing it, please get in touch :).
LaPingvino | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: "Is that work?"
I don't smoke and don't recommend it generally, but for work it has absolutely its merits, and this doesn't sound right at all...

Just tried to submit it, was already here...
I think this one really touches the heart of HN :).
LaPingvino | 15 years ago | on: Tell HN: do we need this?
How would you imagine that? (This is just set up in a few minutes on shapado.com, so it can get a lot better for sure!)
Can you sketch it?

startupsatwork.com ?
LaPingvino | 15 years ago | on: Warn HN: When PayPal doesn't know the meaning of "Donation"...
Might be quite off-topic, but I want you to know that for international stuff Paypal has more value to me than Google checkout, as I don't have a credit card and Paypal works with my European bank account. It might be similar in several other countries, so that can be a reason for lower conversions with Google Checkout. Paypal in a lot of cases is my only online currency, alongside IDeal in the Netherlands (that works with my bank account as well).
LaPingvino | 15 years ago | on: This is a Test (does HN remove exclamation points?)
Sure, it's HN policy to prevent sensationalism.

Did you try Calibre?

We have real life contacts, don't forget that. That will help a lot.
LaPingvino | 15 years ago | on: Study Finds That Apple Dominates Tech News
Let's see if the topic that Apple dominates the news will dominate the news for now...
I personally think this can give a good call for more usable products and a good striving between programmers. I'm curious where we will be in 5 years.
LaPingvino | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: Many quality articles don't go to the front page. What is the problem?
Maybe considering an upvote on new while it's not on the frontpage yet as submitting the article (and thus getting karma according to the votes on the article) can help. Then upvoting good articles on new gets very attractive.
LaPingvino | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: The money/debt problem
And if there is no interest whatsoever, and there is no need to repay everything? In that case you get a positive netto value instead of a negative one, without debt. So you would have a system based on goodwill instead of debt.
