I am forced to use a Mac at work, and I use expose and such quite a bit. Yet, despite using it for over a year, it's still just way more painful for me. Here are my three major issues. 1) Animations are nice, but slow. Things like Expose/Sp

In my experience it's heavily tied to whether you are a GUI person or a command line person. Most of the developers I know are using Macs, with only myself and a few others preferring Linux. The Mac guys use the terminal, as it is a necessi

It's easier to just incorporate a town. This has been done many times before, such as Celebration, FL.

Yes, I do this. However, the reason is not because I am unproductive or distracted. It's because I'm at work. If I have work to do at work, I do it. Then I have no work to do. I would work on my own personal projects, but then they would be

None of it is illegal. It's just a violation of the merchant account agreement. The worst that can happen if you complain is that they will lose the ability to accept credit cards at all.

Here is the NYC taxi cab rates. http://www.nyc.gov/html/tlc/html/passenger/taxicab_rate.shtm... You have to pay $2.50 just to get in the cab in the first place, no matter how far you go. Thus, it is much better for the driver to do multip

I recommend people never take a non-yellow cab. They have far fewer regulations, so they can charge ludicrous amounts. Even if you negotiate a price beforehand, it might surprisingly change when you arrive.

I am fully aware of this rule, and I have a strategy to deal with it. The last time I had trouble I was trying to get a ride from the Javits to Queens. Having a friend helped. First we would take a picture of the cab as it approached, getti

Wrote basically the same thing a month ago. http://comments.apreche.net/166/no-you-need-a-technical-co-f... The one thing that I don't understand is how people are willing to be paid in equity. Do you people not have to pay rent? Are you

I really just want to use Amazon, like Kickstarter does. However, ther are no e-commerce packages that support Amazon out of the box. Shopify, BigCartel, etc. All of them primarily support PayPal, and maybe support Google Checkout.

I simply don't keep any information on my laptop hard drive. Everything valuable is at home or in the cloud. I assume that at any moment my laptop hard drive will crash or be stolen.

Who cares? I wouldn't care if my credit card interest rate was %100. I always pay it off in its entirety every month. I will never carry a balance, and thus never accrue interest, unless there's a real emergency. If there's a real emergency

I use almost no configuration changes either. I use a lot of machines, and I can't be bothered to install configs and plugins on every machine I come across. If I become dependent on weird plugins, what do I do on a machine that doesn't hav

It's not a leak if it's just email addresses. Email is useless if it's not public. If you get spam or unwanted messages, then set some filters. If you can't even do that, you probably shouldn't be using email. If you can't ignore things lik

This article is correct, mathematically, from what I can tell. However, the author seems to not understand the meaning of skill. Apparently to the author a skilled player is one who knows and plays all the odds correctly whereas an unskille

Etymotic ER-6i will hit your price exactly, but you can find them for less if you look hard enough. They are earbuds, but they are amazing. They don't noise cancel, they noise isloate. I wear them in NYC, and whether it's a loud subway, a b

As far as I am aware, Google Wave still lacks the promised ability to embed Waves into web sites. What is the point of collaborating with people, if the results can not be published? Even though there is an API, and open source, Wave is eff

This sucks for one major reason. Sometimes I want to dig up a link that was on HN, and I don't know where else to find it. So I search google with site:ycombinator.com. If they block Google, then that won't work. At the very least, add a se

The thing that struck me was that there was not a word about sales figures in this article. Yes, it seems they gave the pirates a hard time with their DRM. However, I think it is fairly obvious that those pirates had little to no interest i

On a planet with lower gravity, the same rules would apply, but the ratio would differ. A much larger human could exist there with the same proportions as an Earth human. Perhaps this is how Galactus exists. He lives in space, where there i

But Chrome/webkit already has a built-in developer tool that is very similar to Firebug. Isn't Firebug sort of redundant?
