Personally I'd split practice into 3 phases: 1. Hanon's Finger Exercises, mistakes are unacceptable during practice, 'specially while doing these. Use a metronome and master each e…

Don't worry man, I have this Nexus One phone where the touchscreen registers touch on the side of the phone, and the advertised multitouch doesn't even work, never mind not receivi…

No it's not, quite a few teachers work everyday to 'improve themselves', sucks that you got the shitty lot of the teachers but the fact is at the end of the day what matters most i…

Actually, a lot of parents I know talk about how ridiculously expensive it is to put their kid through college/university and to help pay for housing when compared to when they wer…

I don't know what shift managers you know, but the ones I know don't pull much more then what the standard employee gets.

I hope it takes off! The front page seems pretty crowded though, have you guys thought about having it take more of a focus on the content instead of recent comments, login, etc. i…

No I don't really find it interesting, if you read the comments you would see someone else had an issue with renewing on the app store. The blog not only doesn't go into any 'backg…

Yeah it sucks, but posting this on HN is a bit much. As the guidelines say "On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startup…

Screw the other people, I can relate and I know many other people who can too. Some people think it's better to tie someone onto a hospital bed and medicate them so they don't comm…

Saul Williams has always said he was very happy with the result despite 80% of downloaders taking it for free. Trent made a point later on the nin forum that allowing people to cho…

It would be very inconvenient for the entire world but I totally support it, and I hope it happens soon because it would send a very powerful message to many people around the worl…

Learning about group dynamics and social situations is probably the most important part of middle/high school, and more often then not homeschooled kids are at a disadvantage in th…

I totally agree, picking someone as a cofounder that will be taking leave for their newborn baby is insane, but I had 'lower' positions in mind when I was talking about flexibility…

This might be accurate with some people, but it can't be applied to everyone. I am working towards everything I want, and honestly I think the journey is much more desirable then t…

I find it ironic that you would say this about a type of business that is usually praised for it's ability to be flexible with work hours, granted that the employees finish what th…

I think it is important to be wary of who piracy actually hurts though. I very strongly believe that piracy does hurt someone in the music industry, not the artist, but rather the …

Over in Vancouver at BCIT I know that there are a few business diploma programs where the students end up studying just as much (and sometimes even more!) then the engineering dipl…

Exactly! Jobs is great but Gates' work is so much more important then Jobs' iPhone that it's incomparable.

Pretty much everyone I know in College only order online due to it's convenience. Domino's isn't the best pizza in the world but their website is built pretty well, and as a result…

Yes you save more people in the short term but the risk for disease transmission jumps up quite a lot. I'm sure that not even the doctors really like the fact of the matter but the…

I don't have enough fingers to count the amount of people I have met who refer to their customers as 'dumb fucks' (or something similar). Instead of holding him accountable for wha…

I was just making a joke about some of the stereotypes people hold for hillbillies.

I know some corn/soy bean farmers but not very well. All the farmers I know really well (and have to a point grown up with) are livestock farmers, and they live on a farm and do fa…

It's still pretty dangerous even if it doesn't send keystrokes.

Don't know if I would want to work for a company who can't accept that I've have been dressed up as a chick, then 'forced' to drink with a bunch of other dudes dressed up with chic…
