Beatport is mostly an outlet for electronic music, thus satisfying a particular niche. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, as I've bought music from Beatport before, however I think it's a bit harder in the general sense to sell music online.

Doesn't bug #4 eliminate supposed bugs #2 and #3? The intent for the author of the code would have produced bugs #2 & #3, however since that isn't the case, there are only really 3 bugs.

Either way, this rant doesn't really offer any insight on the programs context, and what the author should have done. Nothing to learn here folks.

PS - Can we stop using "epic fail" and other internet-fanboy like colloquialisms in our titles please?

This may sound a bit shallow, but the only thing that's ever worked for me is I always ask myself the question: "What is the next step that I can do right now to make me the wealthiest man on this planet?"

This usually leads me down a path of questions that result in me having to teach myself something to build something to solve a particular problem which fulfills a need. I know that this may seem vague, but try it in your own context of life and see what answers it yields you.

Digg called, they want their stories back.

The only time YouTube comments have ever been useful to me was when they identify a song that is played during the video (as a soundtrack to something or part of a mixtape that was posted online.) Admittedly the videos that have these songs that I tend to look for usually have less than 1000 views, so your theory of getting rid of all the comments would still be pretty accurate.

I like it a lot, however some of the results seem to be 'old' links that don't exist anymore. e.g., I searched for a black leather sofa, and got amazing results that however didn't exist anymore on the target site. Maybe consider updating your index more often (not sure how difficult of a problem that is for you), but still - great site!

While I understand the issue at hand, I have to say that this is just dumb.

I just quit my job and started freelancing, and one thing that I have to point out is that although I'm working from home now, It still sometimes feels like a 9-5 job. I can only handle one contract at a time, and will get burned out if I do more than 8-10 hours of work a day. The weekends are all mine however (including Fridays).
