By now, you have had the chance to read the updates of both NCommander and Barrabas. Nonetheless, you may still be wondering quite a few things about the site and its staff. Here is your chance to ask us anything. These questions can be general in nature, in which case the staff will select a spokesperson to answer it, or it may be specific to an individual. If the question is for an individual, please ensure you identify that person specifically enough.
We will select the best questions from the thread and provide answers to the community. These questions may not be the highest rated, although we will probably use those first.
In keeping with tradition, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one question per post.

Rather than slashvertisements I would be much more tolerant of a marketing poll.
We're thinking of entering the fashionable dog food delivery over the internet market. Do you feel our founders should be compensated:
1) One Billlioooon dollars (twists mustache)
2) Billions and Billions of stars, err dollars
3) one Cowboy Neal
Somewhat more seriously if there exists a market for extremely high end thermostats and smoke detectors I could totally see a poll to figure out if we'd pay $500 for a twitter connected garbage disposal or WTF. I could see it.

Although the idea is good, the polls on 'that other site' have a major disclaimer, big enough to validate serious doubts.
I'm positive towards a quick and easy kind of tipjar, via amazon or paypal.
Make 2 options, a nice (few dollars) and a royal one (tens of dollars). The app stores have made it very easy to pay a few dollars, it's a model that could work for soylent. Make it HARD to make a payment more than once a week, to avoid hijacking or other abuse.
Just make the 'nice' option small enough for my SO not to notice please.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
