Where is the email address disclosed on NBC's site? I'd like to see a link.

Tim Cook's email being posted around the 'net has nothing to do with this, and bringing it up only shows your lack of an argument. Someone posted a private email address on Twitter. The owner of that email address filed a complaint, and the

The parent isn't fixated on the word "widely"— you are. Your entire comment talks about how "widely" is a poor word choice and, in doing so, misses the parent's point. Swap out the word "widely" with the word "intentionally" if it makes you

It's still personal if you can guess it. For instance, you might be able to guess someone's GMail username by their Facebook vanity URL or their Hacker News username. That doesn't mean you can post their email all over the place. If it's no

The bottom of the post isn't where you linked the referral. Pretty shady behavior, honestly.

Wouldn't that be accomplishing the same thing— since M-JPEG keeps the connection open— except you're forcing the client to send another request when they refresh?

> Is it just me or does all this talk about women in tech and efforts to balance things out (artificially) just devalue what good work women engineers are doing? It's just you. No one is asking to accept sub-par work.

I'm not sure if you remember the whole thing where John Carmack had to change some 3D shader code in Doom 3 because of a patent dispute. The change was adding four lines of code and changing two.[0] So I would say choosing between two simil

I think he did a decent job answering. However, /r/Android is being needlessly confrontational and cynical. For instance, this question from your linked thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/ww982/iama_patent_e... was answered

I'm actually surprised HN's up and down arrow images don't have any alt text. Was that intentional?

Actually, most of the images were swiped from girls' Facebook and Photobucket accounts without their permission. These were definitely not meant to be spread around for wanking material.

> return false doesn't seem terribly unreasonable. It should throw an error, not return false. This goes back to PHP's "try as hard as possible to run the script" mentality. The author doesn't need to know C++ to comment on PHP's fail

In regard to his "objects compare higher..." point, I think he was referring to this: class MyClass {} class YourClass {} $myclass = new MyClass(); $yourclass = new YourClass(); var_dump($myclass > $yourclass); /

The first half of your post is basically a long-winded appeal to popularity. Yes, most people on the web use PHP and Apache. Most people on the web also need nothing more than a WordPress installation and their online needs are met. Does th

These comments are asking why she didn't do this or that, or saying she shouldn't be upset because that's just how it is, which is textbook victim blaming. And judging by the comments in this thread alone, I hardly think it was posted to an

The technology discussion on reddit is almost always anti-Apple to the point where I would consider them obsessed. Coupled with the memes and jokes, there's just no comparison to HN discussion when new tech is announced.
