I don't see how posting links to to old articles (2006) with sensationalist titles adds value to a _new_s site. Sorry.

  Hacker news isn't just a news site. That's one half, but the other half is the discussion we bring to the table. I assume diffix thought that the article was an interesting topic starter.

  I like to see good articles reposted — even though the site's name contains the word "News", I feel like the site would clearly be less good if it only took submissions of articles that were less than a week old. But, yes, the title of this article is awful and distracting from its (imo worthwhile) content.

  Well, someone thinks the article was important enough to give it a catchy title, so that somebody else could leverage upon it. It was old, but it at least pointed out a theme that still holds some validity. I like getting injections of knowledge and themes, that one should be aware of, and from the replies and comments here, it seems that a lot of other people feel the same way too. I got fucked by using .NET and Linq some years ago, so I found it to be an interesting read. Nowadays I use Objective-C and core data, and that is a much more pleasant experience, as you can see from the comments. :)
