Speaking from my own experience, the form was a little disorienting because the contrast on the grey/white was low enough that I didn't notice the text right off. I'm just guessing that the parent experienced a similar moment of confusion.

It's not common practice because nobody wants to sit and watch two or more movies in a row.

Interesting, I've never thought about replacing a phone battery with a higher-end model (can you tell I have an iPhone?) I'm curious as to the actual battery life gains one would see and the effect on weight , etc. I must have benchmarks!

Reading your post, it stuck me that being able to follow someone else's RSS feed would actually be very useful. I imagine a scenario where someone provides a "linux-news" channel which is basically a meta-RSS feed filled with interesting Li

Glad to see that there are FreeBSD and OpenSolaris versions available (a clear advantage over Chromium!), considering I've recently transitioned my desktop box to FreeBSD. I'll have to give Opera a spin and run some benchmarks of my own.

Note that the author doesn't claim that humans are the only species who masturbates, but rather that humans masturbate the most often. The author goes on to speculate that this is because humans have the ability to fantasize, though I think

Haven't you heard? If it's Apple branded, it's obviously better. It's like the placebo effect, but instead it's the Apple effect (which, if you've been paying attention, makes it even better!) In all seriousness though, I don't understand w

> the interview process is something we won’t compromise on. Sounds like you're caught up in a big circlejerk, to be honest. Your interview process is terrible and that's why you aren't finding any employees. You won't compromise on you

It makes sense that one who felt a certain sense of curiosity about the act of being a serial killer would work in a field that studies them. The conclusion that the researcher and his subjects share certain traits is, to me, hardly surpris

In the past, making Wordpress do other things than blogging has been painful at best. Maybe this is changing in 3.0, I haven't tried it out, but just because Wordpress can be used as a CMS, that doesn't mean it should be used as a CMS. I th

If that's the case, maybe Google should "feature" apps based on more metrics than simply popularity, if they don't already. It would be neat to see some sort of app suggestion engine where Google shows you personalized app results based on

I do my dev on an archlinux box and the standard Ruby version in the repo (1.9.1_p378-2, I think) was doing something screwy to Jekyll. After reading this article, I checked out RVM and installed a couple different Ruby versions to play wit

Innovation in typography? I'm by no means an expert in the field, but that seems like a poor example. I've always imagined typography to be relatively stagnant.

Base 10 is arbitrary in the sense that it is "based on or determined by individual preference or convenience rather than by necessity or the intrinsic nature of something." However, if you bother thinking about the word arbitrary too hard (

Don't remove the "go up a directory button," PLEASE. Finder and Explorer try to mask the file tree structure through little UI gimmicks like this and it drives me crazy. Better search integration would be great. Improved indexing support vi

Google sounds more and more like a boys club lately. I think some of the employees need to come back down to earth and realize that not everyone at Google is a coding rockstar and there are people doing more important work than Google. Of c

"I'm not getting anywhere." Simply untrue. We all feel that way sometimes, but try asking someone familiar with yourself two years ago if they think you've progressed. (Hint: you have.)

I asked myself the same thing a week ago and decided that I'd like to master Emacs. You should think about the process that you use to write code and how you can refine that process. I'd suggest you look into learning a scripting language.

You bring up a good point. China would never dare a direct confrontation with NATO (or even the US) because of mutually assured destruction. Instead we could potentially see a China-backed Taliban. The Taliban (on the world stage) is relati

The only explanation I can think of for you being downvoted is, well, ignorance. Perhaps HNers are not familiar with Israel's policy of mandatory military service and thought your remark was somehow prejudiced. As far as small aggressive co

I thought the same thing, by what standards would the UK be considered _large?_ I'm from the states, though, so I tend to think of most European countries as small.

Once you understand 4chan, you don't want to analyze it. I'm convinced that anyone who posts an analysis regarding 4chan does not have enough experience to accurately analyze 4chan. The author makes a couple good points, but I think her wri

Now that I think about it, I expected a tech-oriented like techcrunch to be hosted on something a little more exotic.
