The important thing every single article on HN always misses out is that spending 100, 200 or even 5000$ is almost never a large enough pool to deduce anything about a ad network. Put through a hundred million paid impressions and then tell

I currently have a Radeon 5970- Its my first ATI card out of many nvidia cards in the past. I will never, ever, EVER get a ATI card again. While it might be faster, the driver support is so horrible its not worth it. Crashes, lousy bugfixes

I actually just got tickets to florida the other day. I started out on kayak as thats what I am used to and then thought half way in to try hipmunk. Unfortunately, hipmunks lowest price was 150$ more than kayaks.

How did you come off saying that our customer service is bad? Thats a pretty big jump without knowing me or our business. Dont assume that because we dont want to induce more work orders / complaints that we have bad service. What you are s

You might not. Its not about not fixing things when they break or keeping the place clean. Those things are legitimate concerns and are taken care of. Its about when a tenant complains because he wants all new appliances because he thinks t

Uh, ok. This is a product marketed to land lords, not to tenants. I am giving the opinion for the target. Im sure the same thing could be said about attorneys. Its the way the world works. Tenants like asking for misc bullshit and landlords

Well, there is 2 points here. Are you talking about server applications (Dell) or consumer machines (ie- what you buy at CompUSA) If you are speaking about server applications: ARM doesnt really have a shot here. The sheer computing power d

ARM feels like its attempting to have a offering that would have tons of cores, but lower clock speed ( ie- a 24 core, 1ghz processor ) whereas Intel has the advantage in clock speed- In a few years I would not doubt Intel to hit 5ghz+. The

The only real advantages ARM has over x86 currently is: a: licensing cost / production cost b: Power consumption If you think that intel wont have both of those factors down to ARM levels shortly, you dont know intel very well. They are ver

Regarding the "unless we take funding..." Thats not true. Its just the easier and less risky way for you. It also limits you and the site- You will eventually be known as a porn site. Easy profits now will limit big profits later.
