   Again, I wanted to do it the old fashioned way. It just feels nice to start up the old dos prompt and type "rott"

   At first, I was looking for the publishing date hoping I would find April 1st somewhere, but I guess not...

   He wants to play old DOS games natively. I bought a surplus PC ($40) for just that reason as well, so I can understand.

   Probably because less people liked Tim Russert.

   I think it's pretty clear that the problem is car pollution. Like the article says, effectively communicating a cars "greeness" is the point. However, I do admit that changing completely to this number might be a bit weird. I'm not very goo

   This seems like a very sensible, logical, and simple explanation in the face of the blogosphere's temper tantrum.

   I seriously expected a Rick Roll. Thank you HN user pretzel. I know there's hope out there for humanity :)

   Actually, the coverage on Ars Technica has an interview with co-founder Stever Huffman and he says that the ranking algorithm is one of the things they are not making open source. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080618-reddit-social

    I disliked Joost because it took over the whole screen (and because it didn't for on my Mac until they did some tweaking.) I'll be taking a look at it again when the browser version comes out, but I'm not really sure I'll be swayed unless t

    How about http://www.projectwonderful.com/ ? I actually used it once to advertise my blog. It worked fairly well, but I wasn't really interested in advertising my blog; I was just interested in trying Project Wonderful.

    This is really, really nitpicking. I don't notice any of the things he listed.

    If I had to do it all over again... I wouldn't have taken my CIS classes so early in the morning. My brain cannot comprehend a linked list before 10am.

    I heard they're coming out with a black version of this but it will be $100 more.

    Interesting read. The little snip at the though about creationists seemed a bit petty. Though I can understand why an evolutionary biologist might be a bit miffed at Creationist organizations. In any case, score one for science.

    Maybe he got the fat stressed out of him a-la Peter Jackson after the LOTR movies.

    The first thing that came to my head reading this was "Uh, since last year you could go to the Comedy Central website and watch every Daily Show episode ever."

    I think they said it'll be the first 64-bit Mac OS. So, hey, good on 'em.

    Article is right on all points except prominent in-game ads have been around much longer. Go play Wipeout XL (1996) for the PSOne. It was literally plastered with Red Bull ads.

    Thanks to this article I finally looked up Turkish Delight in Wikipedia. Turns out it's not sliced beef as I had assumed. You learn something new every day.

    I would avoid melatonin as regular use can disrupt the natural release of it in the body, i.e. take too many pills and your body stops producing can stop producing it permanently. Source: My cousin... he's a nurse, so maybe take my advice w

    Where does HN fit into the graph and for that matter where do these comments fit in? Are we all echos off the walls of God or are we just innocent bystanders getting soaked with cosmic tech-juice, blinding us to the truth? Answer to these q

    You know it's probably just me but I couldn't draw a thing. It loads and I can play with the start whiteboard, but I can't add anything new or draw anything. I'm running Max OS X 10.5.3 and using Firefox 3 RC1. I blame Adobe though, not you

    I understand that there are limits and finite resources. If you're asking where to get the money from how about a little less on weapons development and a little more on medical research. "How much medical care should everybody get?" Well -

    "The goal, everyone agrees, is to maximize coverage, heighten competition and cut costs. Good goals, all." No, the goal is to save lives and provide EVERY American with health care in order to improve the quality of their life. This isn't a

    Dead insightful and well put. About the only thing I read TechCrunch for is to get invites to beta start-ups. I don't care about MA's perspective on Silicon Valley.

    The current layout of HN doesn't lend itself to avatars at all, IMHO. They would break up the page in awkward ways. If avatars where implemented they should only be 25x25 or something similarly tiny.
