From a developer's perspective, what's the appeal of all the glossiness of OSX and default WMs on popular Linux distros? Is everyone here more design/graphics oriented? Between firefox tabs, emacs buffers, and GNU screen, I hardly make use

If so then what about a blind man? If he does not see or touch other people then he can never be social? Humans are able to have significant interaction through more than physical means. It is incredible, I know.

If there is not room for a far bigger number of YC clones or angels similarly then this entire method of growing companies is doomed.

Well finger length correlates with better SAT scores. I propose that finger length measurement replace SAT testing. http://www.livescience.com/health/070522_finger_sats.html Although I myself did well on the SAT's, I too am hesitant to su

Beats my plan of using this month's rent money that's due today to buy a plane ticket and then riding my luck from there. Doesn't carry the same sense of adventure. Pro: Does reduce probability of having to resort to cage fighting for food.

Giving up is not self-afflicted? No causality relationship was proven. Much less I have no idea what was actually established given a total lack of numbers. A 1% drop? A 15% drop? Big difference.

1-7: eerily familiar... Good though to see them backed up by a company outside the web. 8 is interesting. So instead of just building upon the best aspect of the games, they do a lot to improve the worst. Guess that makes sense though given

Strictly speaking in terms of effectiveness, your #2 point is most often very wrong. You could be giving out free bars of gold and not have one customer speak positively of your service unless you really prod them. People are EXTREMELY resi

Reviews for startups have always been extremely artificial. In an ideal world, users would be very vocal about what they like and don't like. Surprise, they're usually NOT! Techcrunch in particular is a traditional publicity channel that ge

If you're going to call him out on the probability that any given person can create a startup more successful than a day job then at least be more specific as to what you think that probability is. Him: It's impossible. You: It's so certain

A very large percentage of sites/products start off free and without ads but then start requiring subscriptions, reduce the value of their service and cram it with advertising once they get big. In these numerous cases, "future price" would

Is there a lot of tech information only available in Spanish? If so then of course. Although I, personally, will need good translations. Or are you talking about the same news but in Spanish?

Or less inflammatory: After a certain point, the cost of learning another language can outweigh the benefit. I don't know many people who learn languages without the intent of ever spending time to do something with them.

People who become total jerks because others show interest in them deserve no pity. Regardless, the analogy is broken because one case is about what you are and the other is about what someone wants to take from you.

I have had some luck in contacting the owners directly via their whois info in a professional manner. This seems to only work well though with broke people who own a domain on an expensive ($100+/year) TLD.

Well that's no fun. With IM or email you can talk to 50 people at once. Or are you referring to business communications? I'm sure that no one in the US undervalues the effectiveness and persuasiveness of voice communication for critical neg
