> hack originally used to mean to do/use something without> its original intended use.This thread makes me cry ;_;"Hack" originally meant to cut through something physically, normally used to imply force over accuracy, eg "he hacked the tree with his axe"If you're going to complain about people not using the right meaning, at least get it right yourself~ Or we could give up on this, accept that the English language is a mess and always has been, and get on with life...
First, weirdal, if like you said, "every story on hack-a-day ends up on blog, then why dont you just cut out a step and get everything from Digg? I see this as a positive, not something to whine about like you have.Second, to fieri, what kind of story would "Hey, look, I have achieved Uber sleep!" be? I think this is a MUCH more interesting story as the person is blogging his progress.I tried this a while back. I got about 2 months into it and gave up. Its so damn hard. But on the weeks where I was doing good, it was the best thing I have ever attempted.

Should someone repost the link then, without the hack-a-day stuff?

Submit an article on digg when somebody achieves UberSleep, not when they're trying. Billions of people are trying new things...

Well he better be careful. No matter how he tries, he won't break free, and the worms will eat into his brain.

Hacking started with phones. It had nothing to do with computers.
