START a lemonade stand but immediately go "Out of Business" to draw attention to wealth-destroying minimum wage laws!"

If you can get the artists on your side, you can kill hollywood.

I think this poll might be more useful if you split the "against SOPA/PIPA" option into something like "against SOPA/PIPA, but for alternative piracy legislation" and "against SOPA/PIPA and against any new piracy legislation". I'm in the latter camp.

I somehow feel bad about being able to access it now :).

I transferred everything to NameCheap today, but I should say, I've been wanting to transfer away from them for a while now for a variety of reasons, and this is what finally convinced me to do it.

What about the actual posts?

A social network lead by hacktivists? I'm sure the general public will come flocking...

Great idea. I've been looking for something like this for a while. I wish there was a way to create private rooms though, I might want to watch something with just a friend.

I listen to my favorite music (Mozart for me) and play some sandboxy games like Minecraft and GTA. I just try to forget about my startup for the evening and then get a full night's sleep. That always makes me feel refreshed.

The way they're used now, I think QR codes are really just a gimmick. They're probably useful in some rare situations, but for me, I could easily live without them.

Well I could be horribly wrong, of course. I prolifically said back in 2007 that Android would never take off ;). I just think the odds are against Google at the moment unfortunately.

Interesting, but we already have Facebook groups, Diaspora, Frid.ge, I even developed my own site to solve this problem last year, Buddify. What exactly is new here other than social group separation? Speaking from experience in this field, I'm certain this won't take off, it's very difficult to gain traction with a new social network in an age where facebook is still growing at a steady pace. Unless I'm missing something here?
