The ratio of article words to actual errors is very high here. But fans of pedantry will find much to enjoy!

That page appears to be empty. In general you can get flagged by anyone who deems something non-hackerly, which can easily mean >90% of CNN's homepage.

I'm always agog when an organization changes something beloved like key bindings. Qui bono? Someone who uses them is in the same boat as everyone else, muscle memory-wise. And someone who doesn't shouldn't care. And in either case, there sh

I find Cain's lack of depth on many issues frightening, but that's pretty awesome.

What does this do that is "smart"? The article only mentions one concrete thing that this program does, which is figure out your e-mail address when you send it an e-mail: For example, send a short e-mail to task@do.com and it will automat

Nice lookin', but the drink recommendations are terrible: Hawkwind: 2-Buck Chuck (should be lager) Martin Denny: 1 bottle Metaxa, neat (should be a Mai Tai or something) Combustible Edison: A drink called the Combustible Edison that is most

I flagged this even though half the stories on HN are about how to make money on the internet. I guess it's how you present it.

You do know that there was an interval of twelve years between the Crash of '29 and our entry into WWII, right?

Allowing pseudonyms is not just technically easy, it's the default. Also, it's no secret that Google uses your data to advertise to you (it is so far from secret as to be their business model), and that various governments at the least woul

Double quotes seem to stop it from tokenizing, e.g. "pthread_t".

As someone who has worked in voice recognition and seen it flail terribly for decades, this is the nut of the answer, coming after several breathless paragraphs: "It remains to be seen how well all of this research and technology really win

I have to flag this for being utterly asinine. If you're really a "free software guy", RMS's statement should not even partially raise an eyebrow.

It might be a fun topic to kick around, but it's ridiculously soon to conclude anything. Even Apotheker looked like he might have been competent after only six months.

Woodworking knowledge actually goes pretty deep. If you don't have a feel for each piece, it's easy to break blades, cause fires, or have bits go flying. It's achievable, but I agree with your putting it after radiology.

Well - once they've gone down the wrong path, realizing it and making a correction should reflect better on them (although it still shows poor predictive skills IMHO).

If you believe that past behavior predicts future behavior, they are manifestly worse than Google, and probably worse than Microsoft or Yahoo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Facebook#Privacy_c... (it's a long read)

There's a line on your tax form which asks if you want to contribute additional money. IIRC the annual take was something like five figures.

No. Oh god no. You have to get things done a certain way, and that might mean cutting out X, Y, and Z that one or another developer likes working on, and rallying people to work long hours, and several tedious i-dotting and t-crossing itera

This is all very true, but you are leaving out the part about dealing with human feces.

tl;dr: Whether the attackers are criminals, government agents, or bored kids is unknown, and even whether the attacks really originate in China is in question. No description of "The Chinese Way of Hacking" is given, other than speculation

Heck, even developing for a Microsoft platform can be hazardous. _See_ JoS re: the "MSDN Magazine Camp" ( http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/APIWar.html ) (and Joel actually likes MS!)
