Hey there, I'm in the market for finding a freelance programmer right now. I'm actually looking for a Flash/ActionScript guy. In the past, I've had success on: - Craigslist.org - G…

the mibbit.com video shows sound only, no video. fyi. i'm using firefox 3 on mac os x.

You got downmoded because in many languages, Strings are mutable by default.

I have some Feedback. 1) You are forced to enter a .edu email address, and then prompted to enter your University's name -- wtf? 2) The grey-on-white "details" text is hard to read…

I don't think you're being weird. I do think you are conditioned by brilliant marketing. My Decision Making class did a taste test last quarter. The professor poured some Pepsi int…

I love Colloquy! It's a great app. The only change I would like made is to have some way of disabling all of the popups (though I think that's due to some Mac OS X extension I have…

Can someone please explain why this is clever?

The reason Boston and Palo Alto are such great locations are due to the locations of the elite neighboring universities and abundant reverse brain-drain

You have to ask someone to watch your laptop. I'm a psych major, and there was a study that demonstrated that people have a _much_ higher rate of deterring thieves when asked to lo…

HN is still very slow for me... the top orange toolbar always loads quickly on the homepage, but then the stories take ~10seconds to load...it's annoying.

Oh, apparently you have SMS support? WTF? your UI sucks. no offense. it doesn't belong in the FAQ, it should be immediately evident. think Facebook.
