(To grandparent comment[er]) I also had a similar experience a while ago; but I gave DDG a second change recently, and indeed, the results have improved enough for me to keep DDG as my primary search engine, resorting to Google only once ev

Honest question: Is adding and deleting a space necessary? I think it is sufficient in all browsers just to focus the address bar and press Enter.

In Opera, when setting up search engines [which can be used directly in the address bar], you have the option of using POST instead of GET.

This only halfway works in Opera [10.53 on Linux]. You can type, but then if you fill the output area, only autoscrolls down after you press Enter. But otherwise, you can't see what you're typing while you type it. And then focus goes al

(At the time of this comment) 25% of HNers "play piano"? Interesting.

Yep. Over here, Opera 10.53 on Linux, on an Athlon X2. Uses about 75% of one of the CPUs. I'm impressed that I can hold any combination of the game-playing keys, and it doesn't falter (thrust + turn + fire). The framerate holds, and eve

There are already aggregation sites, such as FriendFeed.

In contrast with what others have said, it works for me in Opera 10.53 in Linux.

I used TeamBox a short while a few months ago, but switched to Pivotal Tracker, and haven't looked back. My opinion is that PT is excellent for development teams (or even solo developers).

I'm wondering about the situation of a seller making a single physical image file comprised of (i.e. collage of) several actual individual images. Maybe charge by the pixel?

I only consume Hacker News via a summarizing service which gives only "top" Hacker News links. I skim my FriendFeed when I don't have time to read in depth, and don't have a problem _not_ clicking on things. I keep my FriendFeed relativel

I suppose one would not derive deep, meaningful happiness from the button, because the happiness would have a hollow source. Sort of like the difference between the elation of scoring a goal, or the joy of reading a good book, or the merri

He puts in the condition that you can't push your own button (or: you can't get the happiness jolt when you do). Contrast that with masturbation.

+1 for Pivotal Tracker. One of the most polished UIs I've worked with. It's a pleasure for development teams to use; I use it for both freelancing and the day job. Also helps management have its finger on the pulse of progress, and have

browsershots.org is good, but some generator nodes can be extremely slow (30 minute wait times). For IE-only screenshots, I like to use http://meineipadresse.de/netrenderer/index.php , which provides IE screenshots in about 7 seconds.
