I generally just use the web interface now.

Maybe have him port Hacker News to use a reddit build. ;\

If you need help accessing the credibility of this article, it links to a page that claims the christmas bomber was staged. http://musicians4freedom.com/?p=5016 "The fact that auth…

Seems like he makes a convincing argument to me. Basically it boils down to: 1. California can't afford to pay promised pensions. 2. Public pensions are far more generous than simi…

Yeah.

IAC is in NYC. It's kind of a giant dot-conglomerate. I don't know about the cafeteria there though.

From what I've heard Google actually pays less than average because you're working at "Google". Whatever that means.

What's the draw for an engineer to work at Google these days? Seems like you'd be a small toad in a gigantic pond where your ripples make little impact. Kind of like working at Ora…

#1. I hate the "this" keyword abuse in jQuery, this article demonstrates it clearly. #2. Some minor code style issues do not make a bad plugin.
