Don't get too excited, although I don't personally have authority to dismiss this, I have word that this is a completely FALSE rumor (sorry, I can't back that up-- at least do your…

VS2010 made some improvements to this (RC is available here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/dd582936.aspx ). Now you can tear off tabs from the main window and place them …

A small bug: if I want to search for "basket", I'll type "basket" + TAB + [ZIP] + Enter. It looks like your overloading the tab key though, so it selects the first suggestion when …

Microsoft would be foolish to not give away free developer tools. You don't need to purchase anything to use .NET; you can download an ide that comes with a C#, VB.NET, C++/CLI com…

Even though I don't own any Apple products, I'm still glad they are around for this reason. More competition in the marketplace is good for me, the consumer, which should go withou…

Is this meant to be used in lieu of a feed reader, or in complement? At some point you should work on nice error pages, by the way: http://www.socialreader.net/blah/

This is funny, but I doubt there is any actual security flaw. I expect that Microsoft will verify these transaction later on with the vendor and throw them out.

I hate to be pedantic, but I think "negatively correlated" would be more correct. Even though people know what you mean, it gives the phrase less meaning in case you meant to use t…

It's slower, though. It takes longer to search through the index than to just run the program in the windows directory. For programs I run frequently, I place 1 letter shortcuts in…

Feel free to correct me, but I believe the trust was funding for the ~$5B project that BrisConnections was beginning. If the trust was dissolved, BrisConnetions would be unable to …

It's eerie for me to read that article; I am also a programmer that skipped high school and recently graduated from UC Berkeley. As far as skipping high school goes, I think I'd re…

This is an excellent guide for beginners, and gives a good understanding of how pin tumblers work (and a few other types of locks). Also, there is a good survey of tools and their …

As a matter of personal opinion, I prefer lists to newspaper style layouts. With the new york times site, my eyes wander, never actually reading anything. I lose focus very fast an…

Sometimes it's helpful to think in contrapositive: would it be more regrettable to miss that year of high school, or to miss other opportunities that time could afford you? I, in f…

http://openphotovr.org/ is really cool, good work! I uploaded a small set, and it was very easy to make a 3d scene. I'm sure people would be willing to pay to be able to host a vie…

I think karma can be very informative-- it gives me an idea of what the majority viewpoints are .

My biggest problem is getting on track. Once I've started working, I really get into it and I can't pull myself away for anything; food, sleep, etc. The best trick for getting star…

I've found bing results to be comparable to google so far (mostly identical), but bing just lost a lot of respect from me: search: "learn you a * for great good" Bing returns no re…

I got a lot of practice at these 'tricks' while taking a few chemistry classes; all multiple choice. It was excellent practice too since I attended classes but did not study, so th…

What is the HN meet? Can you give more information?

I like the design. I knew immediately what it was. It might be nice to be able to list a job that I need done as well, instead of hunting for a someone that I think could do it.

From a business perspective, making a Porsche-caliber android phone doesn't make too much sense for Google. As far as I know, their business objectives include 1) getting as many p…

I see your point now, thanks for elaborating. As it stands, I use my desktop for dev work, which I wouldn't think of putting Chrome OS on, but, I still am eager to put it on my lap…
