The support pages seem to be full of broken links - but that's Microsoft.com. An interesting move though - is this good timing or is it in support of Windows 7? It will be interesting to see if Microsoft has the organisational skills needed

This looks pretty dated - both the technique and the browser support. Perhaps of interest as an historical document?

I have the very greatest respect for Alan Turing and his achievements - fantastic guy and should have got proper recognition for both his war work and his contributions to maths and the emerging science of computing. OK - here comes the how

Rather superficial report from the Telegraph. As one might expect from modern journalism this (and other) similar reports fail to note the very high levels of false positives and false negatives such a technique would produce. This 'might'

The past is a "sunk cost". Start from today. Who is doing what into the future. Do not undervalue a founder who can bring in investment but equally do not over-value this attribute. Think about how you would go about compensating another de

The tight restriction on down-voting is a key feature of HN and reflects the mores of the community overall. Down-voting is disrespectful and destructive - do you really want another Reddit? The "flag" option brings a particular thread to t
