Since the site is currently down, I had to view the cached Google copy... Chrome recommended it...

4 times here - completely different each time... Only thing consistent was it said that I went to the University of Tennessee, which I did not...

AOL load this page slowly for anyone else? Direct: http://www.livescience.com/health/090722-body-glow.html

Agreed.

For me, it was the 'magic'. Ruby seemed to have a lot of 'magic' working behind the scenes - which confused the hell out of me when I tried to figure out how something worked a par…

This is a pretty broad guideline - One that, if applied at face value, would dramatically decrease the quality of this board. Although I see a fair share of Reddit bashing from tim…

No relevance whatsoever - I am confused at how the #1 and #2 front page stories (of HN) are about MJ. I understand exceptions, but aside from relevant science posts, I can't think …

Although I could not agree more, one caveat here - hosting a "server" of nearly any flavor is a violation of most current ISP's TOS. I know we do it and get away with it (and its o…

...And it is making the "true Windows replacement" approach - again (so many)... Gimp=Photoshop, OpenOffice=MSOffice, yadda-yadda-yadda... Need a great Linux desktop setup? Find di…

I have had a handful of domains through 1and1 - so far, so good. No problems. Admin interface is friendly. Notices via email for all renewals. Don't know how that compares, but I h…

For some unknown reason, our company Websense (crap) filter blocks the site as "Questionable or Illegal"...

Agreed - I use it nearly daily. I can honestly say it is one of the few apps that has proven so invaluable to me that I have been inspired to tell countless friends, associates and…

Very good argument - unfortunately, it likely is non-applicable in many (if not most) of the universities in the U.S. From my personal experience, I found mediocre teachers who pri…

Being one of the college students who deceived themselves, I have to admit that I could not have put it better myself. Is it my own dumb fault? Yes, it is. I was an adult and like …

Thanks for that - I just got a room full of odd looks for my audible outburst when I read that line!

Ladies and gentlemen, even though the penis was fake, I kept expecting a second plot twist where we found out that Hillary Swank actually was a boy...

I am confused - how do robotic prosthetic limbs relate to faith or any deity? Furthermore, in the possibility that there is a god, what does furthering human knowledge and easing h…

Yup. Short of an official supported API, we are pretty much tied on utilizing CL's data. While screen scraping CL is easy and can yield fully utilizable data for an outside applica…

"If CraigsList had an API, it would be a game-changer." Agreed. As a long time CL user, I have thought the exact same thing. Short of API functionality and extensibility, I know of…

Apress is offering a free download of "The Definitive Guide to Linux Network Programming" - good today only! Site is acting buggy, but I was able to download.

I can hardly wait!

Well put. Although I must admit I worry about what this means for projects such as Firefox, I do think that it will ultimately be good for the web. Hopefully some equilibrium can b…

As much as I hate to agree with such a malicious statement, I do have to agree that Adobe has not helped their case for community support in their lack-luster support for the Linux…

I agree.. Really, what is the harm with a little light hearted marketing and branding? I guess to appease the technical crowd, they should have the technical specs and full API doc…

I can always count on HN to reassure me that I am not alone in my zealous excitement for new tech innovations... As soon as I read this article, I clicked through the install and t…
