That is hilarious. Hernando shrugged. “Prado is finished. He was gored by three Sev 2's on Chicago. All he does now is drink herb tea and play with his screensavers.” Then I will do it, my friend,” he said formally. “I will do it for Pra

Read Wittgenstein's Tractatus logico-philosophicus if you want to read a remarkably bug-free "program". It reads like code.

Religion ended slavery? Please explain (I'm genuinely curious). Philosophy went nazi? No, nazism went philosophy, and poorly too. They raped Nietzsche's philosophy until it fit their needs, with the help of his decadent Missgeburt of a si

I do not condone any lulz that may result from this, but this is the equivalent of dropping your soap in prison.

Excellent response to (admittedly unconstructive) criticism, hats off :) Will send you my humble suggestions after work.

From what I have read here on HN and elsewhere she's just very, very good. " Propped up and sponsored by men "? Could you elaborate? You're seriously downplaying Sheryl's skills and ethics. And " the problems that most other women have "? D

Whenever I see the word "personalized" my hear skips a beat and a bit of vomit travels up my esophagus to annoy my sense of taste. But... The suggestions are quite accurate, especially for Songs & Movies. In fact some of the recommendat

Some works are to be read AFTER your teenage years. One can only read a book for the first time once. Also, some of Hemingway's later works are often described as "Hemingway trying to write like Hemingway", and I have to agree. Hemingway DI

I don't see the use either. I don't need crutches for something as basic as lay-out. DRY is fine, but not if YAGNI.

One thing that makes reviews like this obsolete quite quickly: ChromeOS is a living creature, give it some time to grow fangs and muscle.

There was recently an article in de Volkskrant (a major Dutch newspaper) describing Twente (an area in the east of the Netherlands) as the European "valley" for high-tech, with quite a few world-leaders in niche technology's. I will go thro

Seeing how a handful of ideas in CoffeeScript have been rumored to be included in the next JS release, it seems like individual experimental language design might be the way to push for change.

Like a wave they will again become sea, only to rise later as a different wave. Or to put my high school poetics into plain English: They will want to blend in with the Anonymous masses, until they deem it safe to once again to craft new id

If ever the LulzSec issue was one of black and white to me, it has now become gray. The symbol of the French revolution was the guillotine. The freedom of the people wasn't won with good behavior. Just saying.

Not everyone has a mac, but you can do font-family: Times, Georgia, etc So that it falls back on Georgia if the user does not have Times or whatever font is specified first. About images: I disagree, a lot of typographical details ca

I speak Dutch and English fluently (minus the odd expression) and am able to read Flaubert's French and Nietzsche's German. I remember only part of the Greek I picked up reading Homer. I'd like to learn Italian and Chinese, and I'm pretty s
