Under "What to Submit": "On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."

Taking into account (see my comment "four guesses") the question is would this happen if:

2) Published under a community college domain?

3) No link to big money.

4) Place it happened was in a suburb of Cincinnati Oh?
