As others have said, I don't believe your existing karma influences the weight of your new comments. However, I would think that patio11's, edw519's and others' reputation attract karma more easily than the "regular" commenters. I mean th

This post is extremely bad and is just a rehash of the original post by Nathan Anderson with added misunderstandings, errors and drama.

This will only let you change the settings for data, but won't work for MMS. This was the problem raised by the initial post by Nathan Anderson. (please correct me if I'm wrong though)

Honestly, this is somewhat odd/surprising since AT&T has been known not to allow access to the APN settings, as opposed to T-mobile for example.

I was just about to comment about that: browsing for content on Amazon is a terrible experience, because they use mostly the same layout as the rest of their products. Netflix has the advantage of focussing and a single type of products and

I was recently thinking of how much money I've spent on iTunes in the past two years (since we've "cut the cable") and a lot of our purchases were from TV series seasons that we bought after we watched the first seasons on Netflix and wante

I was about to say that. 8 turns for a company called Atebits is certainly not random. (actually the name and logo are very clever: it's 8 dots that form the letter A)

I feel that discounts that don't apply to existing customers must be risky: I already have a Crashplan account and am not pleased that people who show up "after me" get to pay only a fifth of what I'm paying currently.

Great the cancellation page doesn't work for me. There's a confirmation step to confirm with a big "Ok, I'll stay" button and a small "I still want to cancel" link. The link brings me back to the same page, while the button works. I'll just

That was my first thought as well when I saw the title of the post. :) (I'm 31 as well as a matter of fact) Looking back, I feel that I indeed had no idea what I was doing. I still don't but I feel I'm more self-aware of this fact.

Having deep industry knowledge, a product with paying customers and spending a lot of time preparing the application and video is not "hacking" the application process. I typically think of the term in the way it's used in the question "Ple

About food, I remember reading a post on HN some time ago about how someone had found somebody on Craigslist to cook for him and his family. The lady would bring food three times a week or something like that and everything was homemade and

I'm sorry but I don't get it. What's interactive about it? It looks like a fairly regular resume to me except for the fact that it's rendered as HTML, but that's not really something new. Sure, it's actually built dynamically with a few PHP

I think I know what you're saying: times and times again, unknown people with no diplomas have found success in the tech industry. However that just means that it's possible to succeed without credentials or education. But that doesn't mean

John Lennon was a good songwriter and a decent singer, to compare him to Steve Jobs is utterly inappropriate. ;-) (everything is subjective and people affect other people in different ways)

I appreciate the jest of your comment, but I think it's a bit disingenuous to dismiss the 1 billion number because a small fraction of users may have multiple accounts. Because let's be fair: Facebook is one of the very few companies that a

Beyond the problem with stealing pixel for pixel, to me, it's sad: Svbtle does have a distinct look that implicitly indicates you're part of the network. Using a copy in turns implies that you would like to be part of the network, but you c

Tiny correction since I see this mistake often (and I was making it myself in the past): the symbole for Apple is AAPL, not APPL. Not intuitive like Apple is supposed to be, huh? :)

Congrats! I remember seeing posts from you now and then about how you were learning programming. (IIRC, your first contact with programming was for the demo to get your track jacket?) It's great that you kept at it. My first task was to ad

While I agree with your point, the extension will need permissions for all the sites it's contacting besides Hacker News (Twitter, LinkedIn, etc). I'm guessing Gwendall figured he might as well put a lax permission while developing to make
