I think they meant it against Plan 9, not against Linux.

Isn't that pretty much setting you up to be a non-profit? One would typically have to use a similar "stretched analogy" to turn those few areas you mention into a for-profit company in most cases. I guess in my greedy little capitalist mind

Manned missions involving highly trained air force pilots and school teachers on a government funded space ferry seem undesirable. Manned space flight involving random wealthy civilians seems to have taken its place. Perhaps folks are tired

Ok, I see that now. Thanks. Not sure about Steve Russell, but I agree that is rather extraordinary.

Hmmm... well, there are probably more than two types, but I think there are at least the two types you mentioned. The only person I really feel comfortable speaking for is myself. I choose Lisp (Common Lisp in particular, and SBCL at that)

Good point. Bad assumption on my part.

My opinion - a lot of it comes down to implementation. There are a couple of really good open source implementations, but for the most part a lot of Lisp folks prefer the commercial ones. Anecdotally, Lisp came along so long ago that it has

Seriously, come on, its called Hacker News, not Hacker Archives. I know its not completely unheard of for the site, but it just seems like this one has been posted a few times now. Where was that search function again so I can look it up? B

What's up with the disclaimer? "stuckk.net is a blog by Andrew Wansley and Joe Huston. We are contractually required to post 750 words a week." Anyone ever see that on a blog before?

Evolution takes time. Give it a few generations and pen and paper will fall by the wayside. People can see there are significant advantages (search, share, organize, remote collaboration, etc...), even if its awkward at the moment, which se

Wait - this is techcrunch. Didn't they just the other day also boldly claim that Facebook allows faxing of photos? Did they allow both Intuit and Mint a chance to respond? I'll be waiting a few days before cancelling my Mint account before

Sorry, but not seeing the point of posting an old PG article without a new observation. Is it some kind of test to see if it will automatically get voted up?

I was afraid it was going to be another HN survey asking everyone whether they were tall or plump.

It would be nice to see some data to back up this claim. Is there some study or some data from store owners available anywhere that could confirm this?

Thanks for the info. More metadata sounds nice. I'll go check it out.

In Haiku OS, Do the docs look like these posts? Or are they normal?

This is bullshit man. I refuse to write haikus. And you can't make me.

Love the bacon on the balance board idea. Nintendo should turn that idea into a hot dog eating contest and get Kobayashi to promote it.

Along the same line, given that YC is based there, and you have to move there to participate in it, any story about someone's experience in moving there is definitely of interest to me. My guess is that's the primary reason its of interes

And so now, thanks to this, we have the answer... it sounds like an old NES RPG.

They're not omniscient, but I wouldn't count on that. It wouldn't be all that hard to collect a unique list of URL's and have an intern go through a bunch of them per day. The list could probably be augmented pretty easily with some analysi

Just don't up-vote. Its better to just rely on the voting system to describe the preferences of the community than to try to explain every user every nuance of what you think they should and should not post.

I disagree. If they were a startup looking to develop some new technology or website then maybe six sigma and ITIL wouldn't come into play. But in looking for ways to manage an IT help desk for a company in which they could see thousands o
