I've always wondered why people were so concerned with improving typing speed in the first place. Perhaps it's just the fact I'm a young programmer and have only been doing it for a few years, but the bottleneck for me has never been how fa

If the Lumia comes to Canada soon, I'd definitely get on it. I really enjoy C# as a language and wouldn't mind trying my hand at developing apps for WP7. Love how Mango looks as well.

$2.50 per follower, per month? Does anyone know how they came to this estimate? I imagine any motivated HN reader could game Twitter in an attempt to generate a comparable number of followers. I took up a similar challenge for myself in an

How is that beside the point? They're a company that fit the bill for a service I needed. Knowing Wal Mart screwed people over on car repairs probably wouldn't stop me from buying produce there. SOPA is something that could directly affect

Most of those posts are related strictly to hosting issues. Websites going down and whatnot. That's a complete non-issue for me as I simply use GoDaddy to purchase domains on the cheap. Not everyone's experience with GoDaddy has been negati

I have yet to meet anyone in person who has had a bad experience with acquiring a domain through GoDaddy. I've used them for a few years now and have no negative experiences to report. However, I moved my hosting from GoDaddy to EC2 some ti

If people have serious concerns, would it not be possible to build a Google Chrome/Firefox Plugin that acted as a sort of DNS service? It would be a lot easier for the average user to install one of these in one click than it might be for t

I'll preface this with the disclaimer that I'm a University of Waterloo student, so my opinion might be biased. Despite this, I have no particular bias for RIM that I'm aware of, and couldn't see myself owning any of the products they curre

The problem is that there are not a lot of people capable of doing engineering/programming jobs. It is one thing to make the transition from a farmer to a factory worker, but another entirely to move from a factory worker to an engineer. Th

When Google+ released, I remember being somewhat confused that they opted for user defined Circles rather than using user relations as a gauge for friend "closeness". As the author of this blog post points out, users almost never want to ge

It seems rather polarizing. Instead of coming to an agreement through thought and evidence based argument, calling things "wars" seems to suggest one should pick a side and stick with it. Promoting an opinion based on ideology alone is dang

I'm of the exact same opinion, but I'd wager it's even less than 10%. According to http://www.globalrichlist.com/ if you make over $50,000 you're part of the wealthiest 1% in the world. It's a fact that's largely glossed over. I can relat

At the very least it serves as justification for Paypal to not allow pre-orders for an unfinished product. I'd never heard of this sort of incident prior to this, but it just proves that Paypal and Google are right to protect themselves fr
