- quickben 10y agoYeah it was confusing at first. I guess that was aimed mostly at people that used Charles 1-3 so far.
- kijin 10y agoI thought for a second that the Queen of England must have passed away. Then I remembered that her son would be Charles III, not IV, if he ever became a king.
- adrianratnapala 10y agoI also thought he would change his name if he became King since losing your name is better than losing your head.
- gkya 10y agoWell I thought it was an xkcd on british royalty. Unfortunately this sort of titles are quite popular here nowadays, wish the mods would intervene.
- mannykannot 10y agoThe article is not written for those of us who don't know what Charles is, so it is being taken out of context when linked to from HN. The link title could have been been improved with a couple of words of context - but we followed the link anyway...
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoI honestly thought this was satire given the way it was written and the URL.
- tux1968 10y agoYeah, I wasn't complaining. Was interested enough to poke around to find out more. Just offered the link for others who were curious too. For what it's worth I think the project would benefit by giving a more prominent info link for the uninitiated in such postings. No reason to waste an opportunity to bring new people to the party.
- userbinator 10y agoThe icon is not particularly evocative of "HTTP proxy" either.
