I've been sitting here for like five minutes just starting and stopping. About every third time I laugh and say (out loud) "that's so awesome."

Nobody gives a crap that the restaurant has been there 125 years, but that's what the owner leads with in defense of his enterprise. Looking at the reviews for Fior d' Italia, it looks like service leaves quite a bit to be desired and the

So they're asking us to build apps that perpetuate their branding and marketing efforts without giving us the opportunity to generate revenue. Pass. Nerds.

Well...this will sound mildly insane but if i don't have something going it's like there's a bored 5 year old in my head that wants to distract me from coding. Of course there are segments of the video I miss but I follow the dialogue. It

I'm a very heavy Netflix user. Some people listen to music while they code, I watch movies/series. I don't care that Starz has removed their content and I'm not going to chase it down. They've overplayed their hand and it's going to bite

I travel a fair amount for business and have contacts that also travel quite a bit. Let me know if you'd like some beta testers once you get beyond the California area.

Build and release the app and ignore the whiners. All that you're doing is delivering notification to your users when the statistical likelihood of sustaining harm increases. If people get offended by the macroscopic implications of mathe

I bailed on Firefox about 12 months ago after several years of being a very evangelistic user. It took forever to load and the JS engine leaked like a sieve. Of course it didn't help that I was using Firebug, but then Firebug was the whol

Interesting that they don't mention luggage, which if we're talking about weight is a significant factor. For example, my wife weighs 105lbs but has been known to bring her weight in luggage (not kidding). I weigh 240lbs and usually bring

Depends on how you're defining "actionable." I signed a petition against the White House's plan to put airport usage fees in place for general aviation, effectively charging pilots to talk to air traffic control. This is a Really Bad Idea

No problem. It's a cool idea that could gain some traction. Don't be discouraged, HN is a tough crowd :)

I had to come look at the comments here to figure out what this thing did. I'd suggest adding a red circle around the "ripped off" area to highlight what's actually happening. I had to think way too hard to puzzle out "Two for One" was. Do

I called my Senator's office yesterday and my conversation was very different. While the Senator has not decided his position yet, the young lady (god that makes me sound old) told me that they have taken many calls opposing SOPA. I once h

Thank you; I stand corrected.

It would surprising if Viacom allowed anyone in their empire, even a fake news program, to engage in commentary that is critical of SOPA/PIPA. They're one of the largest proponents of this bullshit legislation: they couldn't win at the judi

How did you define CMS? I've learned (the hard way) that the acronym does not have a uniform definition. Wordpress is the PHP of web publishing platforms. The barrier to entry is low, you can get decent results quickly, and it provides a g

WordPress wasn't ever in the building. Or at least it wasn't in the building the author wanted it to be. Lots of folks have tried to force Wordpress to be more than a blog platform. I've always seen these efforts in the same light as when

Here's what I do when I want to watch a show: 1) Check out Netflix Instant. 2) Hit up Amazon VOD. 3) Check out iTunes IFF those fail, then I go to the bay. I prefer to use legitimate services to get content. But I'm not moving away from my

GoDaddy does not get that this isn't like the elephant thing or using moderately attractive B-listers to sell stuff. Those things, while some find them objectionable, don't really reflect much about how they view their customers in relation

Too little, too late. I didn't care about Bob shooting elephants. Didn't care about using semi-attractive B-list celebutants to sell domains. But this SOPA thing was, is, a massive dealbreaker. This camel's back wasn't hurting, but this w

I'm a PPSEL also, training for my IR right now. We had some icing on my last flight that caused some pitot/static issues, fairly quickly solved by flipping on the pitot heat and climbing out of the clouds. Very interesting psychological e
