This is a solution looking for a problem. This just solves the 'I save exactly x gallons' while most people just want to drive to work slightly cheaper.

a = Array.new a[0x7fffffff] = 55 (irb):14: [BUG] Segmentation fault Presumably this is one of the attack vectors that was fixed.

Depends. If you just want a nice paying 9-5, sounds great. But every single day since Microsoft walked away, another big name from Yahoo leaves. It's like rats on a sinking ship...

I just want to vote this up after the fact. Streaming audio was clear and wonderful. I hope this guy does it again for the next Apple event.

Why is there are Rails and a RoR section, they're the same thing. (Are there not any pure Ruby questions on YC too?)

Then why doesn't Apple start a revolt? The music industry (not to be confused with individual bands) are one of the most hated businesses among young people.

I played with CakePHP a little bit. It's a great Ruby on Rails clone, but it's just that. Why not go all the way to actual RoR? (Personally, though, I think it's a great way to get PHP devs to understand ActiveRecord.)

Just as my own personal anecdote, I've found that CPC AdSense style ads are near worthless, at least on non-targeted sites. I've had ads on the forums of my medium-sized site ( http://starmen.net/forum/ ) and not received very much money. T

Good job! May I ask how you managed to do that?

Huh. For one that goes down, ten will go up. Say what you want about copyright infringement, but too many people think that either it's OK to download or that they won't get caught. There's too big of a 'market' for illegal downloads.

About that last statistic, that's WAYY off, at least on my site. I have more people use IE 8 than IE 5.5. (Which isn't a lot, IE8 has 40 hits of 60,000.) My Safari is around 5%.

I posted this elsewhere ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=147553 ), but I'll post it here too: My biggest problem isn't standards compliance from Opera, WebKit/Safari, or even Firefox. The biggest thorn in my side has ALWAYS been Intern

I've seen this at the top of reddit too. While somethings might seem worthless, others really have to be done. Especially CSS3. Have you ever had to programmatically handle odd/even classes? :odd, :even, and :nth-child selectors are a god s

So both the WebKit team and Opera team got a 100% on ACID3. So What?

No. I've had experiences where people gain 'karma' by being nice, only so they can troll some more. ('But I'll be nice this time, I promise!')

You guys seem to forget the fact that YC applications are due soon. Perhaps some of the new influx is users trying to cash some quick karma?

I was wondering why I was seeing something Ruby related at #6. Does the top ten reddits contain NSFW? Can it still be gamed somehow? If in some rare freak accident the XKCD, Ron Paul, LOLCAT, Sheeple, and Anti-Scientology reddits got in the

But now you're saying that the best links are available on all the sites... brb, got some coding to do. ;)

Can you really blame the system? This site is about submitting awesome links. The second you start limiting sources in anyway, is the second you start limiting awesome.

Put me down for Safari. I use WebKit nightlies which are very fast, and passes the most Acid3 tests right now. ;) The latest additions for :nth-child are a godsend and I can't wait for it to be implemented elsewhere. (No more odd/even class

I have had nothing but trouble when it comes to programming web environments in Windows. In any language be it PHP, Ruby, etc. and so forth, there's too much "Oh, it acts differently in Windows." Most of it is related to POSIX environment

Reminds me of the time I sent a read-only PDF to my professor for a formal report. (Can't copy or print.) They used some kind of anti plagiarizer. While I didn't plagiarize, I wanted to see what happened when they tried to grade it.

The problem with email->SMS is that if you 'abuse' the system, and abuse can be loosely defined here, you might find SMS messages disappearing. If you're only sending messages in the hundreds per month, it's fine. Anything more than a t

My friend Reid and I are bootstrapping Fangamer. The short version is a professional video game fansite. Since we both run Starmen.Net ( http://starmen.net ) we figured that we can just do the same, except bigger and for all games. (btw, St

1) I've used the Agile Ruby on Rails book along with the free Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby online. (Cartoon Foxes!) I suggest checking out Why's Guide first and learn Ruby before you hit Rails. Ruby's a fairly easy language to learn while
