>As a business, it will always be a bad idea to completely rely on another entity outside your control, whose interests are very likely to be misaligned to yours. I don't think tru…

One thing I never fully understood about RSS is that only geeks know what RSS is, hence it will never be ubiquitous. If you have a geek audience, then it's useful, otherwise, forge…

I'm white, so take what I say with a grain of salt. In all honesty, I feel bad for black people who must always wonder if they're being judged solely on their merits. That said, I …

Wish I saw this before I spend hours writing and testing a comet server in C# for IIS. I still can't believe Amazon doesn't have this as a webservice yet. Still, I wonder how their…

Probably because the exhaust would burn anyone that walked by your tail pipe. Otherwise, they'd make effective range extending generators.

Only Apple could brag about finally having a proper window maximize feature. I like many of their products, but their hubris is getting hilarious.

Just got back from my last visit to CR. If I wasn't married I'd seriously consider moving there. Seems like a great place for startups, low burn rate and all.

Revolution makes for strange bed fellows. I'm not sure Egypt is better off, in this case, considering the philosophy of the protesters seems to be "anything is better than this". I…

I find some of the comments here strange. Everyone bitches about keys until they pour their soul into trying to start a software business. I thought the hacker news crowd contains …

Bought the pdf/audio book combo. Great stuff without the fluff, as promised.

Here's my brutal honesty: 1) The cute homepage image is a waste of space and makes no sense for your target market. 2) Having your menu below the fold makes no sense at all. I bet …

A couple things. First, stop calling a service Rep. Escalate the issue to the president of the company if possible, explain what happened without acting irate. If you are still get…

Magnificently random. Too bad it doesn't look anything like those pictures this week.

That sucks, but isn't surprising. You may want to get a lawyer. PayPal has lost or settled several class action lawsuits, so a lawyer might be able to work a discrimination angle a…

While I think he's right on this issue, I also think he'd have no problem with non-government employees doing the same type of checks as the TSA. And for that matter nor would I. I…

Exactly. Not to mention all the extra stuff like repairs and maintenance that is a shock to most first time buyers. You'll need a lawn mower, curtains (most likely), more furniture…

When people by my app, they're automatically upgraded on the server and they get an email that says "Just restart the app to complete your account upgrade". I frequently get suppor…

Love me some potato on potato action.

We already have the draft, we lost that battle a long time ago. This is mandatory service for 2 years, Israeli and PRNK style.

Depends completely on the specs of the SSD which vary wildly. Perhaps by the HD model and upgrade it yourself to a corsair P series SSD. I have the P128 and it flies.

Nice site. It maybe impossible to get traction though. People are mostly happy with Craigslist. It has the volume of ads that buyers want, and the volume of buyers that sellers wan…

Having worked in this area and been frustrated by the lack of an online knowledge base, I can assure you this is a terrible idea. Come to find out there is a very good reason there…

I think that's a really good point, to which I think the answer is that the cheap labor force isn't naturally occurring. It's caused be the combination of economic disparity betwee…

That was actually funny and still you got down voted (I up voted you). See what I mean about HN? A bunch of over sensitive whiny bitches. Yes, that was a statement.
