So instead of posting invite codes here or telling people you have them in comments, we're supposed to email them to some gmail account for some HN account made a few hours ago, under the assumption that they will get redistributed? Alterna

Terrible business...1&1 and similar hosts killed all of the margins. I was basically given a hosting business with 50 clients when the owner didn't want to maintain it anymore. Even paying another company to do support, we had so many

I do learn a lot. The assignments and exams force me to learn thing that I otherwise wouldn't have learned. I do learn, but the value for me is in the lecture notes and assignments rather than the lectures.

Windows (Office 2007 won me over temporarily from *nix) and nano over SSH. I get yelled at almost daily to switch to emacs. I'm used to it though, I use Word 2007 instead of LaTeX and will never hear the end of it.

I had a funny discussion with my school's CS career center councilor (CCCC?) about this. He told me about how he is being inundated with calls from tech companies to the effect of "please please, do you have any more CS majors for me!" Pu

It's funny how a lot of college students are keeping their fingers crossed for the IPO's to hold out until they graduate...a lot of them are hoping for another Google with all of the paper-millionaire employees that were made with their IPO

And that right there is why I haven't been to any non-required classes in quite a while. I really don't want to advocate my ways but it works pretty well for me: I don't go to class. All of my classes have notes online, I just attend the r

Given the nature of browsers that would be counterproductive: one can easily setup browsers to open new tabs with the middle mouse button, but there's no way to stop new tabs/windows from being opened as such.

Their website seems very vague if you don't know why you're there, and information (such as "where do I find assurers/how does one become one?) don't have easily accessible answers...if they want to garner public support their site needs to

a) Answers without reasons are more or less alma mater shoutouts, I recommend you ignore them. b) Stanford and UIUC tend to be more entrepreneurial than other CS colleges (I find Carnegie Mellon/MIT tend to lean towards academia), but I'd s

I already have a language like that, but instead of just text it takes in text and money and turns it into code. It's also pretty slow for a language, taking up to several months depending on the complexity of the problem.

Great questions! They may have been rhetorical but I have already considered them, so I figured a reply is warranted: I do intend to pursue my idea, but I feel the connections and, more importantly, the full-time workload of doing it throug

Stanford and UIUC probably win in terms of startups just because of number of grads in the startup world, but I'm perfectly happy here at Carnegie Mellon...the job fairs are full of all the big-name software companies as well as some startu

A little harsh, no? You forget that Yahoo has over 120 properties, what about things like Yahoo Autos, Real Estate, Shopping, Finance, etc? There's significant overlap with what MS offers, yet Yahoo is clearly kicking their asses in many o

Anyone have any opinions on whether or not a Cease & Desist claiming I broke US Copyright is actually valid for this? I believe I am legally entitled to post their code, and though their ToS says otherwise, I don't know if their ToS app
