You're welcome for the self-promotion. I feel that telling people to just blaze through functional programming is silly, as completely understanding CS roots (instead of sticking t…

That's the point. If they were doing their job and interrogating well as well as investigating well they'd catch them all just like Sabu. Unfortunately they're not and it's easier …

Thanks for recognizing one of the biggest downfalls of it. They could be opening the Apple platforms for massive "protect yourself" scare sales.

This is a great step. I am personally pretty hateful of Apple's decisions as far as hardware lockdown and restrictive use, but it's a tradeoff they offer customers and many conside…

Sweet, hey I'm going to post a few games coming out soon that I hope they get adequate funding too. First is Anarchy Reigns, being published by Platinum. Sega's shaky on US release…

Just as much as the game itself, and patches to it. Nothing is that tentative. Once they give up some, they set a precedent.

When they call Anonymous a hacking collective, you know they're either too stupid, or too corrupt to say it like it is. They're just a bunch of stupid kids, and I wouldn't label wh…

There was a slip which led to his capture. Instead of paying the unfettered price for the crimes he committed, he ratted out his friends in a blatant abuse of the system in order t…

Thanks for posting a link to your own basic html how-to on hacker news. I wish I could downvote. Let us hope the community is smarter than to support this self-serving, pointless e…

Thanks for spamming hacker news with multiple of the same article. I hope your karma rating is worth the damage it does to the community.

I fully agree, but unfortunately us hacker-kind are no longer the norm nor the majority here. It's all startups and tons of people with business degrees. Technical papers get downv…

You mistake my use of anticipated. I agree with you, I meant the change was anticipated as in "It was expected to happen". It was in the cards to happen eventually, whether it was …

I think the guy wasn't thinking the situation through entirely, but someone of (relative respect I suppose, creator of PHP is still the creator of something widely used) respect sh…

This stuff happened over 2 years ago, and what he was referring to was an ANTICIPATED change sir. Not one he'd run into at the time, since it had yet to be changed to something ran…

Ah, when stackexchange and hacker news become "halp google 4 me plz"

Craigslist does not allow scraping. Beg for help and for support for breaking their rules elsewhere. This is Hacker News, not "help me retain a business model after I broke rules" …

Thank you. He wrote a blog post about turning down a profitable offer in order to keep his semi-profitable current scheme as well as choices he made on how to represent himself. We…

How often is this guy going to keep posting his own articles on here? It seems that almost as often as he WRITES articles they are posted here. Protip: None are really very good.

But they own Java. I'm sorry, but as a Java developer seeing Oracle pick it (anything Java) up like a dead fish and try to see who they can smack big money out of is horrifying. It…

I'm a skeptic, so I'm inclined to agree. At the same time I'd like to say that we should give it a bit and see where they go with it. Google hasn't been one to remove value that I'…

Definitely. I hope someone figures out an unintrusive way to monetize IM services so we can see a variety of inspired IM clients/platforms instead of the same dingy things repeated…

A quick, dirty review of some spinoff videogame that isn't complete yet (review of early demo). Yeah, this is relevant to hackers/programmers/startups/tech industry general.

Oh my, some mix of mature and immature adults find it easier to poorly communicate than to properly and patiently communicate. They are also in a particular profession. Let's add g…
