Hit up a good pub, there'll be plenty of women and men there. Your post may have been a joke, but I don't feel like you were justified creating a new thread. Just comment/reply next time.

Great for the money, but in my personal experience they become really uncomfortable after about an hour. It's kept me from using them as often as I would like. Maybe I just have a weirdly shaped head.

It would be more constructive to say exactly what about this article you found to be lacking, rather than bashing the whole site.

Isn't Hacker News already close enough to an RSS feed? It's just aggregated links, like any ordinary RSS feed would be. Plus, I don't think I would want to load several articles at once like you propose. I enjoy being able to choose which a

I really do like the way the system works here -- I'd much rather have the community moderate than an vicious automated anti-spam script. Lately, however, I think the latter is beginning to seem more practical. I have a much harder time sca
