No, silly: Mechanical Chinaman!

When exactly was that? Because, the time of westerns was also the time of GREAT movies (and some great westerns).

It's also easy to believe that what goes on in your small part of the world is according to the "fundamental principles of human society". Most of the shit you take from your emplo…

HN is not really a good place to post this. Here the audience is mostly aspiring "entrepreneurs" dreaming of making it big, so they are tied to the rat race and take all the "ameri…

It feels that way, eh? Now, how about how it reads ? Have you RTFA? Noticed the "arguments and solutions" in there, the ones that he "couldn't come up with"?

Because they are not designed with accountants and POS clerks in mind. Why exactly do you need a numeric keypad?

Why, I use it all the time. If you don't use it as a book reader (Books, Kindle Reader, Stanza), and if you don't prefer it for web browsing then you missed, like, 80% of it. If yo…

"""Dear Google, I Have More Than 10,000 Contacts""" Then you are a hoarder, and you collect stuff to avoid thinking of DEATH. (Psychology hacker)

Yes, because "being into open source" means never have to worry about getting sued your house off by your employer... Really, who writes these comments?
