I suspect that as with any large enough organisation there is a spectrum of competence across their workers, raging from high to low. I obviously have no proof that there isn't som…

Never attribute to conspiracy what can be explained by incompetence.

I hear you. I just think that people (particularly if those people are also developers) would appreciate it if they actually heard from the IE developers a bit more. It doesn't hav…

That would be right assuming passwords were always encrypted - and we know that unfortunately even some of the biggest sites have been bitten by not encrypting passwords in their d…

I use pretty much the exact same system that you do and have done so for many years as well. Recently though, I'm starting to think I might try out the password management software…

The value of what you're doing right here with your post shouldn't be overlooked. Just to know that you guys were around, listening and taking suggestions would have made a differe…

no 'target=' user preference so that external links could show up in another tab/window if so desired I have always seen a default option to open links in the same window as a smal…

I just went to add the same link without realising it was already here, d'oh. It was also the first material I remember reading on form label placement and I found it to be a bit m…

Looks cool. Will await its release with interest. There's no privacy information on your preview page. While I personally have faith that most people posting here on HN asking for …

I saw Moon and thought it was good too. I liked how it seemed to intentionally and quite successfully avoid every cliched direction the story could have taken. The only confusing b…

I completely agree. I watched the movie thinking to myself every now and again "OK when's the full on mind fuck coming?" but it never really came, not for me anyway. Afterwards whe…

Perhaps your original intent would have been more immediately obvious if you had chosen a different animal that's also almost extinct, but not synonomous in people's minds with lar…

@newsyc20 includes links to the story itself and the Hacker News comment page for that story. Sold! Not having links to the comments when following @newsycombinator always perturbe…

I only got my first Mac about 12 months ago and I am really liking it. I too would be really sad if they leave OS X and it's traditionally associated hardware to languish. Oh well,…

Cool. Thanks for the answer!

Please come to the video game industry :) There is always need of someone that knows MySQL, LAMP, etc. That's actually news to me... interesting. So there's still a lot of demand f…

My father was fond of doing cryptic cross word puzzles. He told me that sometimes there'd be a particular clue that he just couldn't wrap his head around, but if he slept on it, th…

Thanks, will do.

Yeah, you're not the only one, but we seem pretty few and far between.

I'm often preferring silence these days, but when I do feel like tunes, I like stuff that's doesn't tear my attention away from what I'm doing. The Aphex Twin: Analogue Bubble Bath…

I can't claim to be an expert either, but for what it's worth I think you're pretty spot on there. In the realms of high fashion - along side the artistic considerations you descri…

Hypothesis: the typo "sl" is only common among left-handers. I shall have to add my vioce to the small left-handed chorus here and say that I too have never had an issue with the "…

That said I'd almost, almost, switched to using python/django and then I had a look at MVC and it did everything I needed. I had almost convinced one of my ASP.Net developer friend…
