I agree. I wish there was a more organized "left" but from what I've seen it's just many many random groups that are not on the "right". If there was an organized left, then they s…

Except I'm not sure this is an "unreal" risk. I was telling someone a story today about how I was outside with my daughter who was 10 at the time. We live in cul-de-sac and 2 house…

I hope your app does well and catches on. I enjoy meeting new people and not always just dating. I'm going to spread the word!

My grandfather was a truck driver for over 40 years. He worked for a few different companies at during his lifetime but his last was for the US postal service. He said that was the…

Good point about not loosing 1st amendment protection.

Yippee! Only 3 in my town! (1 - Raid on an Innocent Suspect, 2 - Death of an innocent) :-/

That's what I'd like to know too? I'm reminded of the old line I hear of "well, that escalated quickly". Shouldn't there be maybe a simple check from a non-armed individual (I'm th…

I'm don't think I agree with laws that can throw people in jail for making non-funny and grotesque comments. I'm not sure what being a young white male has to do with it either. On…

I dislike that in the article they removed the context of his statement. Just reading this, it sounds like he was making a threat, but if you read the KHOU.com (Houston) article it…

Yeah, I live in San Antonio and go to New Braunfels pretty often. I wouldn't call it a small town. The whole thing seems absurd. His statement is obviously making fun of the person…

That's what I was wondering. The comma is just a separator. Plus it's only really needed BEFORE each field not after the preceding field.

Nice to see this discussion on HN. Back in early 2000, when I worked at Walmart's home office in Bentonville, we had a speaker come and talk to ISD about this exact topic. That was…

Sorry to hear about the response. Hopefully I didn't come off as being negative. I thought maybe I was learning something as well. Different people have different experiences. I my…

Maybe it's due to the fact I graduated from the UT system, but I thought it was well known that UT Austin had a top notch CS program.

Based on the information in the article, I cannot see how they can be just to go after him. With that logic they could go after owners of apartment buildings or even arenas (music …

Good if-by-whiskey example. For those that weren't on HN yesterday: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If-by-whiskey

Plus, just allowing access to code and having them deliver it isn't the end. You need to be involved in Quality Management (code reviews, testing, etc.) to make sure they are doing…

I support my wife and 4 kids and the way I've had to deal with insurance is by getting a High-deductible Health Plan which pays 100% after the deductible is met. Then by having a H…

I have 4 children and they are all young (under 10). While after having kids my motivation and drive to do more increased, it actually took a few years for me to figure out what wo…

I agree. Even now (2012 - almost 2013) there are still lots of services needed but when I was a teenager I unfortunately kept looking for a type of job that my friends had instead …

Good point! I guess I was looking at it as an advantage and other cities would start their own program to compete just like employers do today. I just figured people tend to not mo…

This idea is similar to a pet project I did a looong time ago while learning C#. It's still up at http://getmicromanager.com/ but honestly I'm not sure if it still works with the c…

What I think would be a better solution that could fit in everyone's worldview (those that want a more socialized health care system and those who don't want a powerful federal gov…

whisperYELL.com The idea is similar to Klout but instead of measuring online influence it was to be geared toward online privacy. People would be able to measure how much of their …

My favorite part is the HTML/CSS snippet generation. Many times I've had to play around with the CSS in Chrome inspector to get what I wanted. While it's not hard, I do like to be …
