- inactive, on 09/08/2008, -8/+109I am so tired of the "hack" meme to describe anything outside of the context of computers. These aren't hacks - they're just common sense.
- FishHammer, on 09/08/2008, -5/+60Digg REALLY needs to stop trying to redefine hack. No, you can NOT hack your laundry.
- GuntherMcBadass, on 09/08/2008, -3/+30Buried for "hack".
- Ravatar, on 09/08/2008, -5/+27Stupid pointless list is both stupid and pointless.
Send 5 emails a day? Retire early? Eat only 7 things?
Buried. - Chainheart2, on 09/08/2008, -3/+22"Hacks": because nerds need something more exciting than plain old advice
- gullydwarf, on 09/08/2008, -3/+22lol @ life hacks
- LanceUppercut, on 09/08/2008, -5/+23***** this. I am sorry but I know I will be dugg down, but really I don't give a *****. The guy that owns this blog has a kid or a few or something and quit his job to make this blog a full time job. It seems like all his posts are ***** half ass, and I mean this one from the comments above because his blog won't even ***** load at the time of this comment. If he fully thinks that working 4 hr days are good, then he is leaving half of his "income" off of the table. Working 8hrs 5 days a week while stupid, equates to 6hrs 5 days a week for people that have the get ready for work and commute time. His suggestion, again from the comments above because he expects the same web hosting SLA that he does from his weekly schedule (half the time) is for working 4hrs a day per week, with the same commute means you work half of the time you spend either at work or traveling to work.
Stop paraphrasing Timothy Ferris' *****. You douchebag.
"Sorry kid, blog was down, I guess it is Ramen Noodles for you tonight." - Phasmorphage, on 09/08/2008, -2/+18Summary:
1-21: Generic Advice you already know you should follow, but probably don't - dumpweed, on 09/08/2008, -4/+17A guy I work with is having a really ***** day, and I just sent this to him. This was his response, in IRC.

- lucasftw, on 09/08/2008, -2/+10most of those are so not feasible for anyone living in the real world.
- diversionmary, on 09/08/2008, -0/+8Work four days a week
Bang only the hottest 3%
Fly - inactive, on 09/08/2008, -5/+1222. FAP FAP FAP
- ScotchInBox, on 09/08/2008, -0/+722. Don't spend time on Digg.com - t will free up boatloads of time to spend on things like bloggng...
- tee349, on 09/08/2008, -2/+8Hey, actually, no.
- cowsgonemadd3, on 09/08/2008, -1/+7Oh my! How did he get his popular first if you got to it first? Whats going on!!?? ha ha
- popnocast, on 09/08/2008, -3/+9I can hack whatever I damn well please. I DEFINE what hack means in my life not the geeks of digg.
- headzoo, on 09/08/2008, -2/+8The term "hack" has only very recently bee applied to computer activities. It's had a greater meaning for a long time. I think it's YOU that's trying to redefine it.
- m0zzie, on 09/08/2008, -0/+5oh you jerk.
- headzoo, on 09/08/2008, -0/+5The meaning of the word "hack" (and it's origin that goes back decades):

Personally I'm going to go with the opinion of the good folks at MIT, and their understanding of the word "hack", and not the opinion of a bunch of diggers. - AdamKernes, on 09/08/2008, -1/+5now we just need a "hack" to make us actually use these "hacks."
- Oddish, on 09/08/2008, -1/+4And you have of course never submitted a duplicate? ***** off, *****.
- tcasey22, on 09/08/2008, -2/+5Someone please tell me: How the ***** are any of these hacks?
- inactive, on 09/08/2008, -1/+4Even with those definitions it's still not using hack in the correct way.
Buried for calling these hacks. - mario323, on 09/08/2008, -1/+422. Realize that life is freaking complicated,so these hacks aren't gonna do ***** unless you live on a commune.
- frsrblch, on 09/08/2008, -1/+4I think his webhosting hack doesn't work very well.
- CeeJayDK, on 09/08/2008, -0/+3If he has to explain how the word hack , really means something else , in his context , then it was inappropriate.
- Pixelpaws, on 09/08/2008, -0/+2These are generally good pieces of advice, but #8 stuck out as really odd. I added the list numbering but otherwise this is a direct quote from the article:
Eat only seven things: (1) fruits, (2) veggies, (3) whole grains, (4) lean protein, (5) lean calcium, (6) beans, (7) nuts, (8) good fats. - inactive, on 09/08/2008, -2/+4ditto
- tbredofsin, on 09/08/2008, -1/+3Digg really needs to start caching any site (as a backup link not visible from the front page) or picture that becomes popular.
Yes, I know, social bookmarking, driving traffic, etc. I'm good for that, but they're not getting that traffic anyway if their site crashes under the first wave... - earl1234, on 09/08/2008, -1/+3How many top ten 'hack' lists can this dude churn out!? And, worse yet, how can this crap keep making it to the front page of digg?
- inactive, on 09/08/2008, -2/+4Aaaaaaaaand Digg effected.
- geneusutwerk, on 09/08/2008, -1/+3Hack=Rules now?
I was expecting some way to like see the matrix or something, not rules that are either common sense or ridiculous. - JackpotCity, on 09/08/2008, -0/+2You could hack your laundry, but you may not be very popular if you accidentally hack your g/f's favourite knickers.
- SixOrSoPapers, on 09/08/2008, -0/+2FishHammer, I see where you're hacking from, but I hack to disagree. Hackfully, the English language is hackly evolving, as it always hacked.
Hack. - Merp08, on 09/08/2008, -3/+5GOLD.
You should seriously make a digg entry for that!! - inactive, on 09/08/2008, -1/+3I still fail to see why any of those things are out of realm of possibility:
Send 5 emails per day: Stop replying to long lost Nigerian relatives
Retire early: Save.
Eat only 7 things:...this really isn't hard.
Work four days a week: Already doing it
Bang only the hottest 3%: Your mother was fairly easy
Fly: It's called a plane. - smohan123, on 09/08/2008, -0/+2Very, very cool.
- Aurabolt, on 09/08/2008, -0/+1This is way too complicated for me.
Here's one that's better:
-Avoid Digg until your work is done - iceregulus, on 09/08/2008, -0/+1That made my day. Saved.
- ignisatra, on 09/08/2008, -0/+1They forgot robot legs.
- JawshPardee, on 09/08/2008, -0/+1this person must be independently wealthy. who can afford half of the "do less" bull crap. duh, only i need to KEEP my job.
- belebih, on 09/08/2008, -0/+11334? Fail.
- goldrunt, on 09/08/2008, -2/+32nd that.
It's a living language. It changes to incorporate new meanings and words. That's a good thing. - bl4ckman, on 03/24/2009, -0/+1These "hacks" may help you to simplify your life, but if you are got a big belly, then they are useless.
