Google has always denied that this is possible. The recent coverage on negative SEO seems to show otherwise.

I've seen it mentioned in the Terms of Use of certain companies (thinking Fox.com) that people are not allowed to link to the company website going back to the 90s, but I've never actually seen anyone try to enforce that. I don't know wheth

Totally agree. You're describing how I started... for a kid wanting to write a web page over 10 years ago you were lucky to have access to lissaexplains.com & w3schools.com. Nowadays you've got stackoverflow, smashing mag network, nettu

Exact situation but in reverse. (Windows but only because I refuse to use Mac OS and I need Photoshop.) I tried GIMPing it under various Linux distros for a while but it's just not comparable.

I'm not sure you're being down-voted either. I agree with you.

[Disclaimer: anecdote] I was on depo provera for over 3 years. It destroyed my sex drive, nearly caused the end of my relationship, gave me terrible recurring headaches and mood swings. I came off it, and after 18 months my body was still a

> As for women in IT, well, ever considered they just don't like it that much? Did you miss all the recent posts from women in IT who say they love their jobs but have been forced out because of sexism etc?

Making/enjoying sexual jokes in the right context and finding other sexual jokes sexist are not mutually exclusive.

It certainly made me think - I'll even admit that for a moment my cursor was hovering over the down vote arrow. It's sad, but it made me think BECAUSE there are people who think like this (and I've seen similar serious responses here on HN.

"I'm a girl and never felt objectified by bosses/colleagues in the tech world, nor suffered any kind of sexism." I can tell. How sad that you should use you lucky position to blast those who have, rather than showing women that it doesn't h

As a woman, a woman in tech AND a mother to a little girl: thank YOU. Thank you for supporting your wife, thank you for teaching your daughter that she doesn't have to take this crap, and thank you for not being part of the problem in the f

I'd love to wear lightweight cotton dress shirts. Unfortunately, trying to get a pair of 36G breasts into a shirt cut for my size is an exercise in futility. The results border on pornographic - gaping buttons, bulges etc. I have a few choi

I can tell you have absolutely no idea how hard it is to find flattering clothes for larger breasts.

Just because sexism exists elsewhere, doesn't make it any less sexist though, does it?

My purpose in life is not to exist for your pleasure - I don't care how "male" you are.

As a woman, and a woman in tech at that, I'm not /upset/ by it, but it does bother me. It bothers me that the organisers assume the attendees will all be straight males and therefore interested in the fact that the servers are women. It bot

My partner did the Amazon Prime trial last year and forgot to cancel it. He decided instead of contacting Amazon and sorting it out that we'd try it... we did about 95% of our Christmas shopping through Amazon which saved both time and mone

There has always been a counter on his home page, so I'm guessing aggregate total visits over X period of time. The majority of his 'articles' have one. Of course, he could just randomly increment the value using a script, but Maddox has be

My partner has this amazing ability to just switch off. He doesn't even have to lie down or block out noise etc, he just closes his eyes and bam: asleep. It does seem to have a downside though; he requires much more sleep to function than I

Depends how many times my toddler kicks me I guess... anything between 6 and 9 hours generally though. Having a baby made me realise that I can tolerate much lower amounts of sleep (and many more interruptions) than I originally thought. I

If the Google SERPs for your site are up to date, you've also spelled WordPress wrong in the meta description (should be uppercase P). I know the WP guys are very passionate about their capital P: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Refere

I'm a PHP developer (if you count that as programming) so can easily develop on anything with a text editor. Unfortunately I also do a lot of PSD->HTML stuff which writes linux out of the equation (GIMP just isn't good enough.) At the m
