Interesting read and nicely written. It's just a shame HN doesn't have a 'report' feature like Reddit, as I can't report all the whiners in this thread as douchebags.

Being in the UK, I typically enjoy a substantial amount of tea during the day. None of that poncy herbal tea though - stricly strong white tea. The British Armed Forces are supplie…

Does anybody actually use top, rather than htop? It's the first thing I install on every system I build. Something I've become very fond of recently is Monit, which doesn't appear …

I live quite close to Bletchley Park; we used to go on school trips there when I was a kid. :)

The number of available and useful gems makes Ruby my favourite for the kitchen sink. I recently had to build a web spider very quickly for a concept, and there was a gem that prov…

I google this nearly every time I use a PHP function.

I really like it - the interface is very clean and exactly what I was expecting (which is good)! It's nice being able to track a conference, but how about being able to track a top…

I was hired as a PHP developer, but I'm gradually transitioning them over to Ruby. I still need a manual for both of these languages; PHP for the ludicrous amount of functions ( ht…

Sweden has cancelled an arrest warrant for Wikileaks founder Julian Assange on accusations of rape and molestation.

My university did exactly this. (Supposedly) spent anywhere between £5 mil and £50 mil on a new building; £80,000 on their opening ceremony with lots of local celebrities; and then…

Thanks for that - you posted quicker than I could find the instructions on the documentation :D

I'd highly recommend Spree ( http://spreecommerce.com/tour ). It's based around the payment processor that Shopify uses, and it supports a lot of the more advanced Google Analytics…

I've yet to use it myself, and I'm not sure if it's entirely been released yet, but Amazon has a payments system in the works: http://aws.amazon.com/fps/
