    Each time I see such showing off I get more convinced that such reports are mostly fake and done by script kiddies. Personally I wouldn't go through the hassle of doing this. I mea…

    I don't know how many ipods he fixed, but to sum up to $65k, he surely was very busy. If he charged an average of $30 per fix, he would have to fix 2000+ ipods. Where does one get …

    my only 'complain' with that setup, which I also use, is that gnome-do or the deskbar applet don't play nice with it. gmrun is a possibility, but it's too stripped down,

    Well... hacker news' design looks 2001-ish. I like it. No clutter.

    I for one like GPL's philosophy but to be honest I mostly use MIT on my small projects because I don't care. If credit gets attributed rightfully that's really all I care about. I …

    Because every pseudo-hacker feels a desperate need to make i clear that (s)he is not associated with supposedly uncool languages. You might want to notice that the topic is more re…

    The part that is broken is between the chair and the keyboard. There are simple ways to prevent junk email to get to you. I open my gmail acount every day and I read pretty much ev…

    Facebook and twitter fill a niche were email was being used in a way that it was not supposed to. It's electronic mail, you want to send a message to a friend that he/she checks wh…

    Why? For the love of god... why? To be honest none of the principles you list convince me that you really need a new language. I don't see any significant paradigm coming into scen…

    You nailed it. That is so true. Though it's hard to discuss that openly. For example, how would you have that discussion in front of your girlfriend and your best female friend? Th…

    You're doing it wrong. HTTP is a stateless protocol. The very same reasons why it is so, should also enlighten you of why you shouldn't do what you're possibly implying. EDIT: ops,…
