    Spammers and 419 bots probably account for a good chunk of hotmail (and yahoo) usage.

    Sorry to burst your bubble. This is one of the dumbest comments I've ever seen here. I don't know where you studied debate or 'logical fallacies' as you put it. Here's a more apt a…

    And you can keep saying "most", it still doesn't dispute the fact that without hard data or more solid anecdotal evidence to back your claim, you're mostly talking out of your arse…

    He says most X, and then supports that with anecdotal evidence some of which is false. In fact I can come up with more examples of exceptions than he can come up with examples that…

    This is not necessarily true. Some people rent out the living room couch as well as the spare bedroom. Besides in the second lessee case, the landlord at least gets to vet the seco…

    For those of us at work with mute permanently turned on of necessity, a quick summary?

    This all makes sense. But having read through it, am I the only one who feels this reads more like an advice column disguised as science than the real deal, even with all the cited…

    I don't see anyone creating anything with an 8-track or VHS tape except as a novelty because it would be painfully slow and the quality not up to par compared with what we have now…

    I see a problem with this approach. In 5 years much of your equipment will be obsolete and have almost zero value on the second hand market. And if you do decide to use them, every…

    A small price to pay for good taste. After all we have to represent ourselves to future generations not to mention aliens that accidentally bump into our internet.

    Can't find a link, but I think I saw somewhere that pg/YC actually pitched reddit to the reddit team because they liked the team but disliked their original idea.
