Indeed, indeed.

If this is the case for hackers then I can at least see a very good reason for it. The _only_ reason I learned to program was for the power it gives me to create new things and exp…

I just thought that, all else being equal, people on both sides are equally stubborn about sticking to their own ideas. Do you find this not to be the case?

Nonsense, everyone wants to work on their own ideas.

Because typically the programmer will end up spending 1000x longer to complete his part. This is no exaggeration.

My strategy has always entertained me because the guys I've known were so thrilled about their rediculous "world changing" idea that they were crushed to find that hardly any outso…

Two things: 1) It would be great to have more reasonably good people here. 2) But I just don't want the scoring to be screwed up. If the voting keeps stuff that's only of interest …

In theory, but we're talking about guys who think that you love programming so much that you'll just work for some of their worthless equity.

Wow. %%%king unbelievable ending. I would have punched that guy in the face.

"The single most important item in 2008 households is the computer." A true visionary.

Bad voters, bad.

Investment bankers trashing hackers. What to say.

Missed it here to. Can't believe it, I was hacking all night... Anyway, 16th? Great, I'm there.

Cache cache cache. Pre-cache, serve slightly stale cache, write your own data structures to store cache data in special ways. The obvious method is to use mem-cached, but beyond th…

The way they have it executed is incredibly annoying.
