Could that also be interpreted as: ------ Hearing a disturbance, the master programmer went into the novice's cubicle. "Curse these search engines!" cried the novice in anger, "To …

I found The Hawkeye Initiative to be a pretty hilarious response to this issue (more geared towards representation in comics), not sure many people know about it. http://thehawkeye…

There's actually a TED talk with a group of freeform jazz performers explaining something similar to this called "There are no mistakes on the bandstand": http://www.ted.com/talks/…

Wow... Embarrassing that this guy was ever charged in the first place. I thought it was some kind of joke when reading the title or that there was more to it, but nope, that pretty…

This is like saying "I take it you've never been shot", like knife stick or gun is the only other option. xD Do you really think they would have subdued the (already held down by 5…

I think the resolution and real-time power of government satellites and the commercial satellites they have access to is debatable unless you've actually seen it. I recently had to…

It's also sad to see the immediate dismissal of alternate story lines even after this discovery. A conspiracy was just uncovered... and we're concerned about conspiracy-theorizing?…

This would be fine if many prisons were not privately owned entities and if most inmates were not overly sentenced for minor drug charges. We also have a growing incarceration rate…

"All this is to say that the promises execs make on acquisitions are meaningless." Well yeah, all promises are meaningless. Were any of these promises in writing as part of the acq…

"Why do I feel this way?" Might not be the age, but the general mystery, undiscovered value and permanent loss of human history. I mean, yes we tear down and rebuild buildings all …

Drag and drop. When I drag an icon to a location and I miss, I think it's better to see the item animate back to it's original location rather than just disappear and "pop" back. H…

Great, as if people walking around talking to "no one" wasn't bad enough, now people will be randomly grabbing at air and twitching their eyes. How are we supposed to separate the …

"as of late"? Feels like the lack of checks and balances on the police has been going on for a while. It's only when something major happens that people take notice, like someone p…

To be fair, it was a giant yellow box that gave an explanation of the words "sponsor content" when you hovered over it. Also the box isn't always yellow or that big, sometimes it's…

Didn't he also publicly release nude photos of her and three other women? Still maybe a bit extreme on the sentence, but it wasn't just "reading e-mail".

Maybe it's just me, but the photo itself looks very fake, specifically John McAfee, more specifically his head and the lighting. Why is his head distorted/skewed (on his left eye a…

Some of those "hobbyists" at Copenhagen Suborbitals are former NASA contractors and they have been working on that project since May 2008, so I think his main point still stands. I…

Over 100 days ago... Now I'm outraged that the HN community didn't notice this before! xD

I don't like this argument because you can replace "drugs" with anything a government decides to make illegal. If a product or service is made illegal and there's still a demand, i…

Yes it might "cost less", but I wonder, he also gets food stamps, do you think (in this case) less would some how be affordable for him? In reality without the handout tuition migh…

Pretty sure electrocuting animals to death was not commomplace, I agree with everything else. :P Telsa: Hey guys all this stuff I've been talking about, I figured out a way to get …

"You have made the choice not to enforce your own terms of service." Not really. They've just made a choice not to enforce Section 11, which they state, in Section 11, that they ca…

Hah, where I work there's about 10 people PAID to read the internet all day. Thanks social media.
