I got a 23andme kit from work and I thought the results were interesting...it said that I'm 5x higher average risk for Colo-rectal cancer, and 17x higher average risk of developing gallstones...which interestingly enough my Grandpa had Colo-rectal cancer, and my mom had gallbladder surgery (and so did 3 of her sisters)...so my results were actually very interesting

I came across a USB thumb drive from when I was in highschool (freshmen), and I was embarrassed when I looked at it just recently...I was storing login credentials in a browser cookie, and not a session cookie, how insecure but I didn't know any better at the time...

I'd say the best thing to master is solving problems.

In the case of developers it may mean that you never become a master at programming, but what's more important: solving a problem or having elegant, well documented non-solutions?

Hackers make things work, and I think that's more important than being a "master" - I don't even like the word master, it almost feels egotistical.

If they make the menu hoverable (at least on desktop) then their other products are still only a click away.

This makes more sense actually because it means more searches from Google's main homepage, because there are less options to navigate away.

It also makes the page less cluttered and gives the user 2 distinct set of actions: 1) Perform a search 2) Use a popup menu to navigate to a different product

I'm young and live at home (I do pay rent to the parents) and have saved a bunch by living frugally.

If the OP provided more details about the company I might be looking to invest 5k-10k, and/or offer development help.

Always looking to support local startups being that I work at one also, and I know how hard it is to build a great product that consumers want, and raise funding.

Good points. What's funny is that by posting this, it's almost like temporary fame, albeit to mostly techies like myself, but none-the-less it's kind of ironic how that happens.

Fixed and all it took was a WP cache plugin, thanks.

Moral of the story: 1and1 VPS Hosting can't handle the HN effect.

Good point, and I agree with that lol, being that I used to be a fan of the original CSI series.
