This is a silly post. Please do not respond - rather flag it.

90% fiction - hmmmn certainly a lot of the C# criticisms are to do with the Visual Studio IDE differences but to be fair not many people write C# code outside the IDE. It may be unfashionable to say it but VB is a more elegant and discursiv

I am not sure I understand what your problem is here. If negative karma accounts that have not been active for months are downgraded in some way - it just strikes me as sensible housekeeping. Perhaps you can explain the issue as you see it?

Copyright issues might be seen as an "edge case" at HN if it were not for the fact that software is so intimately affected by copyright law. On the "big brother" bit - I think you should understand that HN is not designed specifically to we

Hi - maybe I can point you in the right direction. You made 2 comments to a post about disrupting Hollywood. The first was very short and very likely to attract negative votes - HN likes a reasoned argument. But what you may ask of the seco

Read their blogs and you will see that SO is keen that you use any available OpenID provider to log in to their site - they have no interest in any one such provider. Should you have persevered through the terribly difficult task of establi

What a load of whining rubbish. Anyone who thinks a short password is secure in this day and age is nuts - particularly as just such individuals re-use passwords across services. This person would be the first to decry SO if there was any b

Stack Overflow is where this sort of question should be asked - HN is not a QA site. As it happens Stack Exchange is an OpenID provider see http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/05/stack-exchange-is-an-o... and while their technology may dif

Not at all sure why this post is getting up-votes. The short article (with lots of adds) simply describes what would be the default set-up for anyone starting Android development. I suspect this is a site with no value added just designed t

First off - "he" gave you an NDA to sign but we are talking about your IP - so that's the wrong way around. More important - if you don't feel you can trust this guy - then you should not do business with him. Simple - perhaps not logical

So - the post title does not quite reflect the msn.com title (do not editorialise - one of the HN commandments) - and the person sent to prison is not a teen (using any normal counting system)

This is silly. If you were the sort of person that needed to control the business (or me to control it for you) then I do not want to work with you. I have held 50% of the shares of an active company since 1988 - and never a cross word. My

Hashing a salted password is definitely the way to go - and of course if your hash algorithm is worth anything you should not be able to "unhash" it again. It would, I suppose, be possible to salt and encrypt a password before storing it an

The News (Social bookmarking) pages on our web site are pretty similar as well. Clean minimalist layouts with similar functionality are going to look similar whatever the style influences - well apart from the CSS.

M(umps) is the most vile blot upon the landscape of development tools. It rots any brain that comes into contact with it and destroys all ambitions. A hideous fate awaits any that pass that way. Beware - run away - run away. Teaching Mumps

Link-bate with an obscuring "pop-up" add - terrific stuff! If you are the type of person that "hates" people then I for one would not want to work with you. If someone proves impossible to work with - then don't. If someone is just difficul

Point made. No business wants to hire someone into that sort of role who does not understand why they would not want to hire someone with 0 years experience. There is more to it than having ideas. Hiring someone who has no idea how to do th

What I don't understand about deists (of every variety) is why they don't leave it to their all seeing all knowing deity to sort out those who don't believe in them... But of course they can't because nothing happens because ...

This one is simple - I have lived with the same issues for years. You don't go on holiday to places without a decent Internet connection - 3G if you can't get broadband. You can visit the Greek Islands (say) or just about anywhere with a po

Hi Chris, it's fun and all that but is HN the best place for your marketing efforts? I'm not sure that, as a group, this is a paper based calendar audience - even when the sheets are quite large. good luck with it though.

You are almost certainly correct. We are only hearing one side to this issue and (as you point out) such extreme restrictions on parental contact indicate that the issues are rather far reaching and have little to do with not using spoons.

The answers near the top of the page got the most up-votes. The ones at the bottom got fewer votes or have a negative score.

Thanks for the help - so it is a "result type" (not so much core) - OK that will save a few lines of code - unless I have to write as many lines to handle result sets that do not parse... I suspect I am not a big fan of abstractions.

Erm... JSON is pure text - so not much of an innovation in truth - I can store it in SQLight right now.
