Any 'nudging' that is like the recent banning FPH is the same as a white sword to a sizable, at least vocal, segment of the community. I agree with the article that management is in a pretty bad spot. I've been on Reddit fo

I'll check it out. I switched to Mac/iTunes at the same time as the author and I lost interest in iTunes at the time they introduced iTunes Match. Also I now use an Android phone so I had to figure that bit out already. I have a

Yes I enjoy programming in Java. On the server-side its performance is very good. As far as the enterprise goes, it will be in use for years to come. It is a bit verbose but I'm ok with it. I know its fashionable to hate on it but I

I joined HN in Feb 2008 and I despite reading the site multiple times daily, I have a karma score of 71. So it looks like I'll need to ingratiate myself to elites to be able to vote.

This sounds nice but I'm afraid I can't trust Google with my storage needs due the constant nagging feeling that all my stuff could be gone tomorrow and I would have no recourse. The stories of accounts being turned off for unknown (to the

I use both platforms with a MacBook Pro/Lion being my main machine. I have always felt that my Windows 7 machine is snappier in starting apps and generally moving around the desktop. In fact, if Windows 7 were *nix based I would probably s

Yup. Me too. I'm tired of Chrome's flakiness and process per tab as well as process per plugin. Back to FireFox as default browser.

Language accessibility is certainly the big driver but another, maybe equally important factor is availability. I do a fair bit of work for my brother who deals with low-end hosted accounts. All of these servers have PHP available where i

True and I have no idea why you were downvoted.

I don't think it looks like a very good url. What is your point in its use? To help or judge? Having suck in it means I (just me) would probably never take it seriously.

I think you meant a wealth of open-source libraries. There certainly isn't a shortage.

This looks like something I will be able to use. Good work!

I second the Android request. It seems this is an app that would fit my way of thinking well and would ease some pain in cooking. I'd love to have it and would gladly pay for it and a dynamic recipe collection.

Several months ago I switched to a Merkur 180 long and experimented with several blades. I found the Feathers to be my least favorite blade, even though they are revered on Badger and Blade. They feel too harsh. I settled on Derby's. I g

I couldn't agree more. I saw the refund email this morning but didn't put it together until I read about it on the web (it didn't mention deactivating the book). I checked my iPhone Kindle app and, sure enough, "1984" had been removed. I

Arrington is a complete hole and Leo does actually care about technology. I was kind of puzzled why Leo started with the Gilmore Gang anyway. The show is 98% attitudes and is generally idea-free. It was good to see Leo blow up over Arrin

Other than the oft-repeated 'machine readable', I'm having a hard time getting over the conceptual hump of what the Semantic Web is.
