- nkurz 16y agoIt's likely that many people have flagged it as offtopic, which offsets the positive votes. I think it's a fine article, and would be happy to run across it elsewhere, but flagged it in an attempt to keep HN more focussed. I mean no offense by this, but am getting scared by how many front page articles right now have no specific hacker content. Ironically, I find your self-declared offtopic comment more on topic.
