Quoting the comment guidelines: The test for substance is a lot like it is for links. Does your comment teach us anything? There are two ways to do that: by pointing out some consi…

Taking words out of context is not very new. See Matthew 4:1-11.

The self-evident fact that homosexuality is contrary to nature should be sufficient substance.

Who is "we"? Faithful members of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. And about this "the evil one"... how do you know what his/her/its desires are? Our Church teaches us…

Who are you to say what a "wrong" idea of sexuality is? The One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church teaches so.

This is the culture I was brought up in. This kind of article is the reason I grew up believing there was nothing wrong with homosexuality. Since every single other comment here is…

This is similar to selecta[0] and peco[1] except it can be used in places those can't because it uses a GUI, so you could use it in program, even if the program doesn't directly le…

But you just said that they do stick to something: Win32

(Disclaimer: that last part was told to me as advice by a lone indie dev who makes about $189,000 per year off his lone Mac app and puts nearly all of the revenue in savings. So I …

Completely true. Kind of makes me want to look more seriously into making apps for Microsoft platforms. That said, Mac owners are generally far more likely to go out and look for n…

I had a similar experience recently. I recently had an ingrown toenail. The last time I had one (in high school) I let it get so bad that after gym class my white sock would be ent…

This is so slow it's unusuable. I've gotten to http://manyland.com/info-speed-issues every single time. And yes: - I'm using Google Chrome - This is my only tab/window open - The w…

Is this unusably laggy for anyone else? Or just me?

Anyone else drawn the connection to http://xkcd.com/55/ yet?

From my experience, the happiest marriages are of people who don't just "go" to church, but actually try to "live" their church's teachings in all areas of their lives. Churches us…

Funny how we feel the need to do statistics and draw charts to figure out what makes a good marriage, when all that's really needed is a little common sense. 1. Communicate your fe…

Ahh, now I remember why these kinds of websites died out. It's exciting a lot like Minecraft, in that we can make our own little worlds. We exercised both sides of the brain by lea…

Yesterday after clicking a few links on HN's top page, I found three instances of `bash` running, according to Activity Monitor (on OS X). The second I quit Chrome, they all went a…

My trust in metaphysical and other such sciences dropped significantly on the day I realized that most modern conclusions are just theories and half of them have already been prove…

Sounds like a good tool for C++ for those times you have to use C++.

After having used Emacs exclusively at work for a few years, I am in the process of switching to Sublime Text full time. ST delivers solidly on the excellent concepts that Emacs he…

In my experience, window manager authors don't usually care if some other program looks bad. There's no real unity, and their attitude is just "not my program, not my problem".

Am I the only one who is frustrated by the plethora of desktop environments available for Linux? Why not just have just a single, highly extensible desktop environment instead? Is …

Having tried to write a window manager for X, I am always impressed by anyone who has enough followthrough to actually finish one. And I'm very eager to see if Wayland has a nicer …

I'm a bit baffled by Go. The majority of developers I know (across several camps) strongly oppose Go, often to the point of ridiculing it. But then I see Go support being added to …
