What software does HN run on then? Or is NewMogul just copying some of the design aspects of HN? http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/7245/newmogulbusinesslead...

Ummm...at first I thought it was a front using something like Yahoo! BOSS as a back end - until I saw you had a bot. Would love to know more, like if you do crawl everything yourself... :)

I kinda agree with the politics. It seems HN users like US politics, thats fine. But as a guess I'm sure most like p0rn too, it doesn't mean HN should be full of it... (OK thats a pretty bad example, but you get what I mean...)

You've just gotta account for Internet Explorer, all the respectable browsers will have HTML5 support by 2012, while IE will trail behind and have support around 2022, along with all the changes they think is necessary. "Microsoft HTML™" Ma

Meanwhile, Spore was cracked on the day of release, and pirates are enjoying DRM free Spore! You've gotta wonder - how do game developers write code BLIND?! Because they obviously all are, as they don't see how much people hate DRM, and tha

To be honest I wouldn't have even tried this without knowing its story, but I just played the trial and think its fantastic - I love how it doesn't tell me anything, its for me to explore and understand on my own! After playing that, I real

Lower it, you shouldn't be able to kill (join the Army) before you are legally allowed a beer. It just seems to me like a law from god knows when, which the US government don't want to change just in case the majority don't like it. Same wi

Around what it is now, I think. Though you've got to remember a lot of people here aren't in the US, so while all the US politics would be interesting to the American hackers, what about hackers from other parts of the world, which very lik

Its times like this I am glad we have a tax paid network of channels in the UK - the BBC. No commercials, and they have very little reason to keep you watching for their own gain, so you just end up with quality journalism (Olympic coverage

Dreamhost? Really? Maybe its because the site is so simple, but I would find it hard to believe ANY successful startup could be ran on shared hosting, never mind Dreamhost. But a nice performance boost from shared hosting would be a 256 VPS

The problem with Google is it has very, very little focus as a whole. This is a good thing internally, they seem to develop and release so much stuff without much bother, but in my opinion, joining Google would FEEL like a black hole. Your
