Not necessarily. As Ed Bott of ZDNet showed, you can have multiple IE windows open with multiple tabs within each. Also, you can have multiple Windows Explorer windows open. Whether this extends to other programs that may spawn multiple pro

What is the reason for 1.9 not supporting AST introspection? I mean, it's supposed to be the evolution of the current language, so this lack of support is a bit confusing.

Sorry, yes, I meant NOT doing something that you perceive is stupid, yet is an aspect of societal conformance, will hurt your chances.

Um, no. It says that doing something that you perceive is stupid, yet is an aspect of societal conformance, will hurt your chances at reproducing. It did not say no one will ever mate with you, but that your chances will lessen. And it's ac

Dude, have you read the article? Where did the article mention the sex of people who are stupid? Please point it out.

I was about to make the same point, only not is so much detail. If the schools REQUIRE students to submit their papers in order to receive a grade, the binding agreement might not as well be there, since the students have no choice but to a

I think experiences vary wildly and that itself speaks volumes about quality of Vista. You've had a good experience, some people have had bad. Personally, I don't like it. I bought it installed on a new laptop. UAC is annoying, but not over

I have had returns refused, since the CD was opened. How would I know if it's good or not, if I had not listened to it? And I'm not the only one. I do agree that there are people who keep crap around when they don't need it. But, stealing a

I am going to have to take you up on the point of downloading something to try and not liking it. If it were up to the recording companies, would they refund me my money if I didn't like a CD I legally bought? Currently, the answer is no. T

I don't know what this was downvoted. Sounds like a sensible plan to me. I'm currently in a company that has IE6 as its browser installed by the IT department. Most of the intranet would be broken in IE7 and especially IE8. The current tech

You have no idea. But, welcome to Canada, anyway. Where are you planning on living?

They can, if they respond to those complaints/support requests in a timely manner. The only way GS makes sense is if you've tried to contact a company in order to register a complaint and were not successful: 1) You got a generic e-mail bac

If you'll notice, I have devolved to that only after I was called a GS fanboy for no other reason than arguing a counterpoint. My stance has no merit, only if you're unwilling to consider how this debacle might have impacted the other side.

And for that, I apologize.

You'd be quite right, but you'd have to ascertain that by looking through my comment history. I don't troll, but I will fight for what believe vehemently, even if that gets me downmodded. I'll then sit and think about what I've said and wha

Had the phrases referring to Mafia, blackmail and extortion been left out of the piece, I'd totally agree with you. Including such words, however, is not "publicly criticizing" someone nor "outright denouncing them in stern but entirely tru

by batasrki 18y ago
Saying that someone is trying to extort money from you and that their behaviour is "mafia-like" and tantamount to "blackmail" is very heavy-handed criticism, especially on a public forum. It is intended to injure, if only their reputation.

I'll give you that point.

Why not? That's my whole point. Whenever someone complains against Google, Microsoft, take your pick, they've done pretty much everything they could have to first privately resolve the issue. Saying that 37Signals have the right to complete

by batasrki 18y ago
Ah, but it's also a sweet-spot of 37Signals' fans. I guess we know which way readers here will lean, now, don't we? I hoped that HN readers would be more objective than this, but then again it's only a news site. Oh, well. P.S. dude, you sh

I don't that that's how it'd go, for the simple reason that if Jason Fried was so outraged at the GS's behaviour, it only stands to reason that had there been another JF on the other side, he'd be outraged by the 37S's one that he'd flame h

Let me offer an analogy: Your neighbour trespasses on your farm. Moreover, he builds a small store on it with no permits and when he gets tagged for it by the inspector, he points to you as it's your farm. Do you: a) Find him, take him to t

>>it's how not to handle a PR crisis. What? They've handled it as well as they could have considering the position they were placed in. I don't care for either side "winning" this debate. This is about mature behaviour, not PR spin.

A trademark lawsuit would have actually made more sense. The blog post was intended to embarrass GS and therefore diminish their status in the Internet world, while at the same time airing your grievance. That can be especially said for thi

No, they can advocate for themselves. I'm advocating for maturity in the resolution of such problems. I've never denied that what GS was at best misleading, however, I don't think that going public without trying to resolve matters privatel

by batasrki 18y ago
Of course, had there been a bug in your "automated system" and you did not intend on violating the law in the first place, you'd still want to be publicly embarrassed just because the person who's angry with you did not have the manners to

by batasrki 18y ago
Yes, but had they not had their pages looking semi-official, there would be no reason to use GS, now would there? As I've said somewhere lower in the comments, two things would have made a world of difference here. 1. GS should have had an

I don't agree with anyone who has replied here. The public rant equivalent to shouting through a megaphone, while 80,000 people who might have their own, smaller megaphones intently listen. There was no need for this, unless the private e-m
