Oh, I want to add one more thing, since everyone seems to like my comment. You can pay me too much money. If you give me say, a million dollars a year, I will work for one year, and then you will never see me again. I will go home and live

I have been programming since Kindergarten. I can program in any language. I also have the skills of a systems administrator, PC repairman, etc. I can do almost anything you need to do with computers, except setup email servers (screw you p

I didn't say treat me the way a hospital treats a doctor. I said you treat me as if I'm a doctor and you are a pharmaceutical sales rep.

My family and friends are vastly more important to me than any job, period. I work to live. End of story. If I have to sacrifice that most important thing to me in the whole world, then there is no point. I would rather be a homeless bum wi

So true. I get calls from startup recruiters all the time. They don't seem to realize there's this thing called rent. They want to pay with equity. Might as well pay me with lottery tickets. Here's the minimum I need to even bother talking

Git is a Hole Hawg, just like UNIX. That's intentional. Stop trying to change the software to be easier. Instead change yourself. Make yourself stronger and better by learning this complicated stuff, and become a master. You can't drive a c

I have a page for my podcast. I want my podcast's web-site to automatically post about new episodes to G+ the same way it does for Twitter and Facebook. If people don't want it, they can just unsub.

I saw this problem coming way in advance. As soon as a graduated college I moved directly to NYC. Do not pass Go, DO collect a lot more than $200. There are a zillion jobs here of all kinds, so I am not worried about losing my job at all. T

Never store anything important on a laptop hard drive, ever. Erase all hard discs with dban before going through customs. Upload to a safe place before you leave, download when you get back.

The only problem I have with this article is this line: "since when does that suddenly mean that you can decide that you are no longer going to pay for products that both legally and morally you are obliged to pay for, yet still use them?"

No because anyone who already reads HN already knows SOPA. The only thing that will be effective is if sites that normal non-tech people visit go dark.

General nerd strike. We run the world. If we actually unite, we can get everything we want. Not just stopping SOPA, but complete copyright and patent reform, net neutrality, and everything else we care about. The problem is we are a bunch o

I get a lot. The problem is that almost all of them are not offering realistic opportunities. They are all start-ups that are offering not enough money, expect you to work more than 40 hours a week, and forget vacation days and benefits. Do

Proposal - we leave the names as Linux. There is no reason to change it or confuse the entire world to satisfy the pet peeve of one toe-fungus eating nut.

Because this doesn't capture the mouse it's really hard when you have to go to the top of the screen (menu bar) or bottom (taskbar). Without full screen mouse capture. WebGL will be nothing more than a toy when it comes to any kind of serio

You are crazy rich. You have millions to burn on some VC. You have an idea for software that is actually legitimately useful and world changing. Screw a startup. Just start an open source project. Changes the world, makes people's lives bet

If I were on the tropical island, obviously I would still make things. But I would only make things I cared about, at my own pace, and for free. If I already have enough money for food, health, and shelter for the rest of my life, I don't n

Almost all of the people I see doing startups are young college, or just out of college, kids with nothing to lose or people who are already extremely rich. I work to live, I don't live to work. I flat out refuse to work more than 9-5 and e

My alma mater, RIT isn't even on the list at all. Not because it ranked poorly, because they didn't even include it. Incomplete list is incomplete.

I applied, and was rejected. However, I had already taken another job before they rejected me. The application process made me not want to work there. More recently I have toured their offices, and I really really don't want to work there.

Every browser should just support every codec in the universe. I don't care if it's illegal or patent infringing. Do it anyway. VLC, Mplayer, and ffmpeg are all open source, all work, and are all still around. This goes for image formats an

Why not just make a new theme? Integrating with Gnome seems a lot more work.

This is a serious question, not a troll. I seriously want to know why someone would want to do this. If you want to run Gnome, just run Gnome. What is the difference between running Gnome + GNUStep vs. just running Gnome normally?

What house are you keeping? Is your house made of passion? I don't know about you, but my house is made of money. If I have no money, I have no house.

I'm 100% with you. This is the #1 reason I have not yet worked at a startup. Unlike some people who are already loaded, I have to pay rent. If you pay me in lottery tickets, and I lose, I'm homeless. Whenever a startup sends me a job offer,

1) That's another thing that bothers me about OSX. Everything you want to do requires some extra plugin or package. Just because I can fix a problem with duct tape doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist. 3) I've tried that. I am a nerd afte
