   Wait a minute, "thought to be worth $800m"? Is that "m" for "million" and that dollar sign for "dollars"? Has the whole world gone crazy?

   I agree with you 100%. I just also think that to claim "oh, I just wrote this software, I can't get in trouble for anything" doesn't take into account either the technological illiteracy of most of the justice system, n

   "punishing a mere guy who turned idea into reality, but who doesn't run the operations himself, won't be a feasible option" This is dangerously naive. This is exactly what "they" do, if only to brutally discou

   "The suspect was found with his computer systems open and logged on to various virtual systems and forums." Definitely reads like a crack team on the case. We're all safe now, folks.

   The y2k mention was an analogy, not literally the same bug, because as you correctly stated it would be impossible to trip over the y2k bug several years after y2k. It was a calendaring bug.

   That's specifically not what the article fails to mention, because it states where both of the bombs were found. You're just thinking of a different narrowly avoided nuclear catastrophe. https://en.wikipedia.org/w

   As a fully employed Drupal developer who's currently spending every free minute working with Rails, it's vastly more about working with tools that I like working with, and PHP and Drupal do not currently give me that. I can play a

    I really like the layout of this article, so I started poking around the source. I almost screamed when I saw `p class="msContent"` around every paragraph. Seriously though, this obviously takes some manual intervention to achiev

    I'm totally ignorant of Australian politics (can you believe it?? An American who doesn't know the major parties involved in a foreign election??), but this sounds basically like a comparison between the Republican and Democrat pa

    As a Drupal developer, I find it cute how you Ruby guys consider Rails to be massive and monolithic. You know nothing of massive and monolithic :)

    Aww man. I used to live right around the corner on 3rd street. I don't know if midtown is still as colorful these days, but about ten years ago if you saw an attractive female walking around after dark you could rest assured it was a

    That's hilarious, I was wondering if my hometown (ATL) would be broken down, and it's the second one. When I moved back there after college I wanted to do some sort of study of the racial segregation in that city. It's tota

    I'd love to read this, but I'm feeling a need to start boycotting Forbes articles. Is this available anywhere else?

    Is Forbes really scraping content from Quora and presenting it as an article?

    Karma thresholds for doing this and that. Not sure where "upvote" is, but "downvote" was recently at 500.

    For the record, this is the same graph after moving my Drupal based blog from Media Temple to Linode. Nothing else changed. So yes, hosting can make that magnitude of a difference. http://i.imgur.com/8esmvJS.png

    This is almost offensively linkbait-y. In the "most popular posts" sidebar you have "Everyone at Yipit is Now Learning to Code". Why will I never learn to code? You never get to that part. By the way, I decided to &qu

    There's some irony in an article about how normal people don't know how to use their computers getting taken down by a front page HN appearance.
